How to Live Stream the Jaguars vs. Titans Game for Free

The free NFL game live streams available with these apps only work on phones. In other words, you can't use these apps to live stream games on a laptop, tablet, or connected TV.

What if you want to live stream the Jaguars vs. Titans "Thursday Night Football" game for free on a screen that's larger than a phone?

Amazon Prime has a live stream of most "Thursday Night Football" games, including Jaguars vs. Titans tonight, on Prime Video. Amazon Prime members can simply log in to their accounts and go to Prime Video to watch the game on any device.

Amazon Prime membership, which includes free two-day shipping on most Amazon purchases in addition to free streaming video and music content, generally costs $119 per year or $12.99 per month. New subscribers can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, and it might not be a bad time to try out the service — considering that it's the holiday shopping season and you may be making some online shopping purchases.

It is also possible to live stream "Thursday Night Football" for free by registering for a free trial of a streaming TV service that includes local broadcast of Fox and other networks in its bundle of channels. The streaming TV services Fubo TV, Hulu Live, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, and YouTube TV include such broadcasts in most of the country, but coverage varies and you should inquire if Fox is part of the package before subscribing.

All of these live streaming TV services can be tested via free trials that last about a week. After that, the basic cost of a package starts at about $40 per month. If you don't want to become a paying subscriber, remember to cancel before the free-trial period ends.
