The NFL season brings us another unique game on Saturday. The broadcast, that is. The San Francisco 49ers visit the Arizona Cardinals and the game will be shown on Amazon Prime Video.
Here is what you need to know if you want to watch the NFC West battle:
The game will be televised in each team’s local markets. It will be on KSAZ in Phoenix and on KNTV in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The game will be available to more than 150 million of Prime’s subscribers in more than 240 countries around the world.
“The Prime subscriber base is pretty big,” Kevin LaForce, the NFL’s senior vice president for media strategy and business development, told ESPN. “And, so, the reach situation or the reach consideration for us is still one that’s really important. Broadcast television has served us well and continues to do so, but Amazon is starting to achieve these numbers globally, that hopefully can help us do what we want to do, which is reach fans with our games and develop new fans who grow up loving football.”
