Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears On Prime Video: A Global Showdown Hits Your Screen

Justin Rimpi

Get ready, football fans, because your post-Thanksgiving food coma is about to get a whole lot more exciting. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears are set to clash next month, and Prime Video is taking the game global. That’s right, thanks to a landmark agreement between Amazon and the NFL, this Black Friday matchup will be available to just about everyone on the planet.

Mark your calendars for November 28. While you are fighting off the urge to buy that 80-inch TV you do not need, you can tune into the first-ever NFL game presented worldwide on Prime Video. We are talking over 240 countries and territories. So, whether you are in Philly, Chicago, or a remote village in Mongolia, you can witness this NFC battle. It is a pretty big deal.

Why This Prime Video Game Matters

Let’s be honest, Black Friday is already a spectacle. It is a chaotic ballet of shopping carts and doorbuster deals. Now, Amazon is throwing a pigskin into the mix. Jay Marine, the head of Prime Video’s global sports, basically said Black Friday is becoming a top-tier sports holiday. He is not wrong. He called the Eagles-Bears game a “can’t-miss” event, and frankly, who are we to argue? You’ve got the reigning Super Bowl champs facing a Bears team that is finally showing some teeth. It is the kind of game that makes you want to plant yourself on the couch and not move until Monday.

The NFL is just as pumped. Hans Schroeder, the league’s media distribution guru, emphasized that getting games to a global audience is a major priority. It is a smart play. The NFL is not just America’s game anymore; it is a worldwide phenomenon. Putting this game on Prime Video for free, no subscription needed, is like handing out free samples of the world’s best chili. You’re gonna get people hooked.

More Than Just a Football Game

Amazon isn’t just stopping at football. They’re turning November 28th into an all-day sports bonanza. The day kicks off with the PGA TOUR’s “The Skins Game,” and after the Eagles and Bears duke it out, the action shifts to the hardcourt. An NBA doubleheader featuring the Bucks vs. Knicks and Mavericks vs. Lakers will cap off a massive 12-hour sports marathon. It is a bold move by Prime Video, and one that says they are serious about becoming a major player in live sports broadcasting.
