When to watch the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers?
- Thursday, Dec. 19, at 5:15 p.m. PT (8:15 p.m. ET).
Where to watch
- The Broncos and Chargers 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 channel.
The Broncos have won four straight to leapfrog the Chargers in the standings. Neither team can catch the 13-1 Chiefs in the AFC West, but both are nearly locks for a Wild Card berth in the AFC. The 9-5 Broncos and 8-6 Chargers currently occupy the last two playoff spots in the conference and are comfortably ahead of the Colts, Dolphins and Bengals, each of which is 6-8 but still mathematically alive. Tonight's game in LA will help determine playoff seeding in the AFC, with tonight's winner hoping to avoid a potential first-round trip to Buffalo.
The Broncos-Chargers game kicks off 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.

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 ABC 7 (KMGH) in Denver and Fox 11 (KTTV) in Los Angeles, 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.
