Thursday Night Football Schedule 2024

Josh Allen and the Bills will take on Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in week 2 of TNF.

With the release of the2024 NFL scheduleon May 15, 2024, we now have official confirmation of the games that will be played on Thursday Night Football (TNF). Furthermore, as Amazon has once again bagged the rights to Thursday games, they have come out and released their own Thursday Night Football schedule which so it will be easy for fans to mark their calendars.

Keeping weekly games on Thursdays is a welcome move that theNFLstarted back in 2006 as it gives their audience at least one game to watch in the middle of the week. Once Monday Night Football is over, most of the NFL games take place on Sunday, hence that one game after a few days of no action is certainly a boon.

Thursday Night Football TV Channel

Thursday Night Football games are being broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime. In 2022, the NFL awarded the rights of TNF to Amazon streaming services, which has no doubt increased their revenue.

As for the commentary team, Amazon appointed one of the leading names in sports broadcasting history for well over 50 years inAl Michaels. Michaels will be returning for his third season with Amazon as the play-by-play commentator and he will most probably be joined by analyst Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung on sideline reporting duties.

Thursday Night Football Kickoff Time

The Thursday Night Football kickoff time is generally the same throughout the year and is set to 8:15 p.m. ET (Eastern time). However, fans who want to watch the pregame coverage can do so by tuning in to TNF Tonight which will air from 7:00 p.m. ET onwards. Thursday Night Football Tonight will once again be hosted by Charissa Thompson,Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tony Gonzalez, andRichard Sherman.

Thursday Night Football TV Schedule

The first game of the 2024 NFL season will take place between theBaltimore Ravensand theKansas City Chiefson Thursday, September 05, 2024. However, it is essential to note that this game has been assigned to NBC and Amazon will only start streaming games from week 2 onwards. As a result, you will not find the week 1 game between the Ravens and the Chiefs on Amazon’s TNF schedule.

The Thursday Night Football TV schedule for the 2024–25 NFL season is as follows:

Thursday Night Football Key Matchups

Right off the bat, TNF has some key divisional matchups from week 2 onwards. Of course, as TNF is also a primetime slot, most of the games are important rivalry games between the same division or they will be played between two strong teams. Some of the highly anticipated games in 2024 on TNF are as follows:

Week 2 - Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins

Amazon’s coverage of the TNF will start with a huge AFC East divisional matchup in week 2 as theJosh AllenledBuffalo Billsmake their way down south to play theMiami Dolphins. This game, although very early in the season, will be very important given that it is a divisional matchup.

We will get to see how Allen and the Bills fare after going through a rebuilding process in the offseason as they have changed their receivers room quite a bit. On the other side of the ball, theDolphinsremain with most of their key players and have added another weapon at receiver by signingOdell Beckham Jr.which should make the team even more dangerous on the offense.

Week 4 - Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

The week 4 game between theDallas Cowboysand theNew York Giantsis bound to be another good one given the history of the two teams. Another important divisional matchup, this one from the NFC East, the Cowboys should be able to get a comfortable win. Nevertheless, the game is not going to be played on paper and thus anything can happen.

Week 10 - Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

TheCincinnati Bengalsagainst the Baltimore Ravens is a huge game in week 10. The AFC North rivals will both be looking for a win especially given how tight this division is with all four teams possessing a plethora of quality players.

If bothJoe BurrowandLamar Jacksonare healthy to play in this game then this will be a quarterback duel worth watching even if you are not a Bengals or Ravens fan.

Week 14 - Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Similar to the AFC North, the NFC North also looks to be a division where each win may be crucial. With theDetroit Lionswinning the division in 2023, theGreen Bay Packerscoming up strong withJordan Loveat the helm, and theChicago Bearswith their newly acquired number one overall draft pick in Caleb Williams and his offensive weapons, the AFC North is a scary place to be.

The game between the Lions and thePackers, which is towards the end of the regular season, may have a lot of bearing on where both of these teams finish in their division and may also be an important factor in making the playoffs.
