The NFL week 2 clash between Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will kick off an 11-year partnership which will see Amazon Prime Video become the new home of Thursday Night Football. It’s the first time a streaming service has secured exclusive, season-long streaming rights to NFL games in the US.

The $1.2 billion-per-year contract will kickstart on Thursday, September 15 as The Chargers look set to be without wide receiver Keenan Allen as they head to Kansas City to kick off the second round of this season’s fixtures. Chargers coach Brandon Staley admitted it's “not looking great” for Allen, who was forced out in the first half in the Chargers' win over Las Vegas Raiders.

Both the NFL and Amazon heavily promoted the new deal after confusion over how to stream San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals back in 2020.
