Fans living in Western Mass. may have trouble watching the New England Patriots vs. New York Jets Thursday Night Football matchup, as the national broadcast leaves this region in a blind spot. The game will air nationally on Amazon Prime Video and on TV in the Patriots’ home media market, including Eastern Mass., Central Mass., parts of New Hampshire and Vermont.
Viewers in these areas can watch the game on conventional TV via FOX Channel 25. However, Western Mass. residents are left out of this option, as they do not receive WFXT-TV Channel 25. North of Worcester County and part of Cape Cod may also be out of range for WFXT, but some parts of southern New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and northeastern Connecticut may get the channel.
For those unsure about their access to WFXT, they can check the FCC website for confirmation. Western Mass. viewers may need to resort to Amazon Prime Video to watch the game. Alternatively, residents in the Boston/Manchester TV market can explore options like fuboTV and NFL+ for streaming services.
Ultimately, viewers near Boston with WFXT access can watch the game on FOX Channel 25 or fuboTV. Those in the Boston/Manchester TV market can check NFL+ availability via the NFL website. Unfortunately, Western Mass. viewers are limited to watching the game on Amazon Prime Video.
