Patriots Thursday night game won’t be on local TV in much of Mass. Here’s why.

NFL broadcast rules are leaving Western Mass. in the dark. Again.

Tonight’s game will air nationally on Amazon Prime Video. But as part of NFL broadcast rules, the game will also air on TV in the Patriots’ home media market.



What does that mean? If you live near Boston (or as far west as Worcester County), you can also watch the game on conventional TV via FOX Channel 25. The game is also available in parts of New Hampshire and Vermont.



However, that TV broadcast will not be available in Western Mass.



Trying to sort out whether this applies to you? Here’s a guide on how to figure it out:

Amazon will simulcast the game on Twitch TV. It's free, doesn't cost a thing.

If you don't have prime go to twitch to see every Thursday game.

It's a legal, above board stream. No worries about pop ups etc that may occur on less than legal streaming sites
