**How to Watch the New York Jets vs. New England Patriots and More NFL Games: A Comprehensive Guide**
The New York Jets and the New England Patriots, two fierce AFC East rivals, are set to face off tonight in Foxborough for Thursday Night Football. The Patriots, currently leading the division with an 8-2 record and riding a seven-game winning streak, look to continue their dominance against a struggling Jets squad, who sit at the bottom of the division with a 2-7 record. Despite their standings, the Jets are coming off a victory last week and hope to pull off an upset. Whether you're a dedicated fan of either team or just looking to catch some NFL action, here's everything you need to know about when and how to watch the game, as well as your options for tuning into the rest of this week's football matchups.
**Game Time and Streaming Details**
Tonight’s Jets vs. Patriots matchup will stream nationally on Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming platform. NFL fans outside the New York and New England markets will need access to Prime Video or Amazon’s Twitch platform to watch the game. For those living in the local broadcast areas, the game will be shown on traditional over-the-air television: Fox 5 (WNYW) in New York and ABC 5 (WCVB) in Boston.
Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, which costs $15 per month or $139 per year, but fans can also opt for the stand-alone Prime Video subscription at $9 per month. If you don’t have a Prime membership or a Prime Video subscription, you can still watch the game for free through Prime Video’s Twitch channel, which is also owned by Amazon.
Another alternative is NFL Plus, the league’s own streaming service. For $7 per month, or $15 per month with NFL RedZone included, NFL Plus allows you to stream the game. However, this service restricts viewing to smartphones and tablets, so you won’t be able to watch on your television or computer.
**Local Broadcasts and Live TV Streaming Services**
If you’re in the New York or New England area, you can watch the game over the air with a standard antenna or through a live TV streaming service that carries your local ABC or Fox station. Not every streaming service offers every local channel in every market, so it’s important to check availability in your area before subscribing.
Popular live TV streaming services that might carry your local ABC or Fox stations include DirecTV, Fubo, and YouTube TV. Each of these platforms comes with its own pros and cons regarding price, channel lineup, and regional availability.
- **DirecTV’s MySports plan** costs $70 per month, offering ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and NFL Network—covering all the main channels for Thursday, Sunday, and Monday NFL games. If you want NFL RedZone, you’ll need the $85-per-month package plus a $15 monthly add-on.
