The Pittsburgh Steelers game against the New England Patriots in Week 14 will be broadcast locally by WPXI. The Steelers and Patriots are playing on Thursday Night Football on Dec. 7, and the national broadcast will be through Amazon Prime Video.
The NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” package switched exclusively to streaming video provider Amazon for 2022 as part of a $1 billion per year rights package that runs through 2033. The games can only be accessed by subscribers to Amazon Prime Video nationally.
As part of that deal, Amazon must select a local broadcast partner for each team so that local fans can watch the game free and over the air. WPXI won the bidding to air the Steelers’ Week 14 game against the Patriots. WPXI will also have locally produced pre- and post-game coverage.
Kickoff on Thursday night is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung will have the call of the game.
The game is one of two appearances on Thursday Night Football for the Steelers this season. NFL rules previously prevented teams from being forced to play multiple games on a short-week schedule, but that was changed in 2023 to allow it to happen twice in a season.
The Steelers will played the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football on Nov. 2, a
