How to Watch Seahawks vs. Broncos on Thursday Night Football on DIRECTV
The Seattle Seahawks visit the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. ET (6:15 p.m. MT, 5:15 p.m. PT) at Empower Field at Mile High. Thursday Night Football streams nationally on Prime Video, so there's no national DIRECTV channel number. DIRECTV customers can open the Prime Video app on a DIRECTV Gemini device, and viewers in the Seattle and Denver TV markets can also watch on a local over-the-air station.

Local TV in the Seattle and Denver markets
Amazon puts each Thursday Night Football game on an over-the-air station in both teams' home markets. As of October 15, the teams' official viewing guides still direct viewers to Prime Video and local listings without naming the local station, so search "Seahawks" or "Broncos" in your DIRECTV guide. DIRECTV includes local channels with its core packages where available; our guide to adding or removing local channels on DIRECTV shows how to confirm yours.
