When to watch the Houston Texans vs. New York Jets?
- Thursday, Oct. 31, at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT).
Where to watch
- The Texans vs. Jets game will stream live on Amazon Prime Video and for free on Twitch. Fans in the home markets of each team can also watch on their local Fox channel.
The Houston Texans have a young quarterback and are 6-2. After a spectacular rookie season, the 23-year-old C.J. Stroud is having a solid sophomore campaign despite his favorite target, Nico Collins, missing the last three games with a hamstring injury. And he just lost Stefon Diggs, the team’s second leading receiver, for the season to a torn ACL. With Collins sidelined for at least another week, look for Stroud to get the ball to Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz tonight.
The New York Jets, meanwhile, have an old quarterback and are 2-6. Aaron Rodgers will celebrate his 41st birthday in a little over a month and has looked nothing like the QB he was in Green Bay. With Rodgers at the helm, the Jets have failed to score more than 24 points in a game this season. They’ve lost five straight and have already fired their head coach during this losing streak. Expect a restless crowd in the Meadowlands tonight as the Jets try to win their first game since mid-September.
The Texans-Jets game starts tonight at 5:15 p.m. PT (8:15 p.m. ET). The game will stream nationally on Prime Video and for free on Twitch.
C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans face the New York Jets tonight on Thursday Night Football.
Keep reading to see your options for watching Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, Twitch, NFL Plus and — if you live in the home markets of the Texans or Jets — a local network channel.
With YouTube and YouTube TV the exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket, along with games also streaming on Paramount Plus, Peacock and ESPN Plus, there’s lots for NFL fans to keep track of this season. Check out our picks for the best live TV streaming services for NFL fans in 2024.
TNF streaming: Prime Video, Twitch and NFL Plus
Thursday Night Football games are streamed nationally on Amazon Prime Video, giving NFL fans more incentive than free two-day shipping to sign up for an Amazon Prime account, which costs $15 a month or $139 a year. You can also subscribe only to Prime Video for $9 a month.
Fans in the local markets of each team playing on Thursday night will be able to watch the game on an over-the-air station, while those who don’t pay for either of Amazon’s services can watch for free on Prime Video’s Twitch channel. (Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)
If you subscribe to NFL Plus, the league’s $7-per-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included), you can also stream the game without subscribing to Prime or Prime Video. Note that NFL Plus viewing is limited to watching on just a phone or tablet, not on a computer or TV.
Thursday Night Football games are streamed live on Amazon Prime Video. For millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, the Prime Video channel is already included at no extra cost. But if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, it might be worth it to shell out the $9 a month for the stand-alone Prime Video service, not only for football but also its impressive selection of shows and movies.
Can I watch Thursday Night Football on local TV?
Yes, you can, if you live in the local market of either of the teams playing on Thursday. For this week, that’s Fox 26 (KRIV) in Houston and Fox 5 (WNYW) in New York, according to 506 Sports. There are two ways to watch local channels on your TV without cable or satellite TV. The first is with a live TV streaming service. And the second is with an over-the-air antenna, if you live in an area that has good reception.
