Amazon 's Prime Video has won the exclusive rights to stream a National Football League playoff game next season, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC.
Last month, NBCUniversal's Peacock showed an NFL Wild Card game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, marking the first time a playoff game was broadcast exclusively on a streaming service.
NBCUniversal had looked to keep the streaming-only playoff matchup next season, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on Amazon's latest deal with the the NFL.
Amazon has said there are 80 million active Prime Video households in the U.S.— CNBC's Stephen Desaulniers contributed reporting.
