(Michael Reaves )Chris MorrisFri, November 28, 2025 at 10:00 AM UTC·1 min readBlack Friday might be mostly about retailers, but in 2023, the NFL saw the opportunity to try something new.
Given the success of the league’s Thanksgiving Day games, officials began scheduling a matchup for the day after the holiday, which would air exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. It was, in some ways, a make-good for the streaming service, which is usually the home of Thursday night games, since all Thanksgiving games are broadcast over the air.

Which NFL teams are playing on Black Friday? What channels are airing the games?
You've got one option.
