Prime Video Will Stream Three Duke Basketball Games Next Season
Amazon is adding live sports to its roster on Prime Video. Starting next November, the streaming service will broadcast three non-conference games of the Duke University men’s basketball team. In fact, all three games – UConn, Michigan and Gonzaga – will be some of the biggest matchups the team faces all season.
The first is scheduled for Black Friday in Vegas, where Duke will face UConn at T-Mobile Arena. A last-minute three-pointer in the Elite Eight last March sent the Huskies to the Final Four against the Blue Devils. In December, Duke will face Michigan at Madison Square Garden in New York before facing Gonzaga in Detroit on February 20. A press release from the university states that all games will be produced by Prime Video and that exact start times will be communicated at a later date.
Prime Video already offers a selection of MLB, NFL and NBA games, as well as live coverage of the WNBA and NWSL women’s leagues. Duke’s announcement explains that this is the first time Amazon has signed a deal with a college team. Duke is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) which has a television rights agreement with ESPN, and the network typically broadcasts most of the team’s games in a given season. In exchange for allowing the Blue Devils to appear on Prime Video, Duke will play in select ESPN-owned events during the 2027-28 and 2028-29 seasons.
