On Thursday, Amazon Prime will be the first Thursday Evening Football broadcast of the season, with the Miami Dolphins hosting the Buffalo Bills. While both teams have battled for a playoff spot in recent years, the head-to-head battle between the two AFC East rivals hasn’t been particularly exciting. The Bills, led by Josh Allen, have easily defeated Tua Tagovailoa’s Dolphins when they’ve played each other in recent seasons.

Buffalo has defeated Miami in four straight games en route to the first TNF of 2024. The Dolphins last won in 2022 by a narrow 21-19 final score. Looking back to 2018, when Allen first entered the league, Miami has defeated Buffalo just twice in 12 divisional games, with the Bills emerging victorious in the lone playoff game between the two franchises during that span.

In other words, the Bills have the Dolphins’ number. Miami will try to change that narrative starting tonight. Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy the game.

Watch with a cable subscription

Most fans can’t Watch Bills-Dolphins tonight with just a cable subscription. The game will be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime for most of the country and will not be on traditional television in any capacity.

With one exception: the game shall will be broadcast live in local markets. So people who live in Buffalo and Miami can watch the Bills and Dolphins play with their cable subscription. Here are the channels for those locations.

Watch without cable

This will be the path that the vast majority of fans will have to take. Thursday Evening Football will once again be exclusively on Amazon Prime, meaning you’ll have to stream it regardless of whether you have cable or not. Amazon Prime games aren’t accessible on other streaming services, meaning there’s no channel for Amazon on alternatives like YouTube TV or Sling.

To watch Bills-Dolphins, fans must log into Amazon’s website and go to the Thursday Evening Football page. A subscription is required to view.

Is there a free trial for Amazon Prime?
