  • 1. Ask Alexa to stream live 'Thursday Night Football' games

    On gameday, just say, “Alexa, play Thursday Night Football,” to get straight to the livestream on your Fire TV or Echo Show devices. And, so you never forget and can see everything in one place, you can ask, “Alexa, add Thursday Night Football to my Watchlist,” and all Thursday Night Football games for the season will be added to your Prime Video Watchlist and automatically recorded.

    You can use your voice to access X-Ray capabilities, an exclusive set of features on Prime Video that help you dive deeper into the game. Just say, “Alexa, show me X-Ray stats,” to open X-Ray and navigate Real-Time, Game Leader, and Next Gen Stats powered by AWS—like a quarterback’s average time to throw, or a wide receiver’s average yards of separation.

  • 3. Ask Alexa in-game questions on Fire TV

    Alexa makes it easier than ever to settle those gameday debates and dig deeper into live player, team, and game stats, all without interrupting the stream. Try asking, “Alexa, who has the most tackles?” or “Alexa, how long was that pass?” to see just how deep in the game Alexa really is. Want to stay up to date with happenings around the league? No problem. Try asking, “Alexa, who leads the NFL in passing yards?” or “Alexa, what were Patrick Mahomes’ stats last game?” and you’ll get a quick response without taking your eyes off the action.

  • 4. Play the official ‘TNF’ trivia game with Alexa

  • 6. Create the ultimate gameday Routine with Alexa

    New this season, you can create custom Routines that are automatically initiated when your favorite NFL team’s game begins, ends, or at half-time, so you never miss a play. For example, when the game is about to start, Alexa can automatically turn on your connected Fire TV, play your favorite hype song, and make an announcement to all your devices that it’s gametime. Simply open the Routines section in the Alexa app and tap the + button in the top-right-hand corner to create a new Routine.
