Amazon has signed a one-year deal with the NFL to live-stream 10 Thursday Night Football games but you will have to be an Amazon Prime members to access the streams.

Amazon outbid Google, Facebook, and Twitter in a deal that is reportedly worth about $50 million. The deal is the second phase in a streaming test that began last season when Twitter paid $10 for the rights to live-stream Thursday night games.

Amazon won’t have exclusive streaming rights for the games, according to a recode report. CBS and NBC will be able to stream the games they broadcast, while Verizon streams the games to its wireless subscribers.

According to the report, the games Twitter live-streamed last season didn’t attract a huge audience, averaging less than 300,000 viewers per minute compared with an average of 15.8 million viewers for the CBS and NBC broadcasts.
