TV Answer Man, will the Black Friday game with the Chiefs be free on Amazon? — John, Jacksonville, Florida.

John, Amazon today (November 29) will host its second Black Friday NFL regular season game when it streams the Las Vegas Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs contest from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Kickoff is scheduled for approximately 3 p.m. ET, but Amazon will begin pre-game coverage at 1:30 p.m. ET. Expect lots of tie-ins to Amazon’s Black Friday sale.(The TV Answer Man will receive a small percentage of sales from this link. So if you’re shopping, please shop here.)

Is Amazon’s Raiders-Chiefs Game Free?

During Amazon’s regular Thursday Night Football broadcasts, non-Amazon Prime members can watch the game for free using a Twitch account or signing up for a free trial of Prime. You can also get a TNF game for free on local channels in the markets of the teams playing or at a bar that has a subscription to DIRECTV’s business plan. For this Black Friday game, however, Amazon is making it even easier to watch for free. You don’t need a Prime membership to watch the game on Prime. Anyone with an Amazon account will be able to stream the Raiders-Chiefs for free. If you’re new to Amazon, you will need to create an Amazon account, but that does not cost anything.

The free broadcast will be available on the Prime Video app, Twitch, the NFL mobile app via NFL+, and through a local channel in the home and away team markets.

Can You Record the Raiders-Chiefs Game?

Amazon says that anyone with an Amazon account will be able to record the Black Friday game; you don’t need a Prime membership. To record the game, click the ‘Record Thursday Night Football’ button on the game details page before the game starts. Note: For other Thursday Night Football games, you will need a Prime membership to record.

John, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
