You can watch Prime Video on Amazon Fire-branded devices, Roku, video game consoles, and Smart TVs. In 2017, Amazon released a Prime Video app for Apple TV, and in 2019, added Chromecast support for the Prime Video app.
Prime Video has also acquired the streaming rights to the NFL'sThursday Night Football, UK rights to Premier League soccer matches, and the Hollywood studio MGM. In 2021, Prime Video made a deal with Universal Pictures to bring Universal movies to the service, as well as future theatrical releases four months after their release on Peacock.
