Amazon Prime Video Goes Big This January – Football, Hockey, and New Rules!

Get ready for NFL playoff action and the return of 'Faceoff: Inside the NHL' on Prime Video! Plus, brace yourself for new streaming rules coming in 2025.

Hold on to your remote controls, Kenya! January 2024 is packed with excitement for Prime Video subscribers because the streaming giant will air its very first NFL playoff game! That's right, all the rush and thrills from ‘Thursday Night Football’ will come alive again, but this time for the playoff showdown! Perfect for those cozy evenings where all you need is some popcorn, your friends, and blanket on the sofa, you won't want to miss this epic sports action that promises to keep your heart racing.

But sports aren’t stopping there; the docuseries ‘Faceoff: Inside the NHL’ is returning for its highly anticipated second season on Prime Video! Featuring Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk, the series is set to deliver incredible behind-the-scenes moments and family anecdotes that make hockey even more fabulous. With six new episodes coming in 2025, hockey lovers can gear up for an inside-look at elite players and their lives beyond the rink. Seriously, you might end up wanting to lace-up those skates yourself!

However, before you dive head-first into all this entertaining content, there’s some news from the tech side that might require your attention. In January 2025, Amazon Prime Video is limiting subscriptions to only five devices per account, and you can stream on a maximum of two TVs at the same time! If you’re a family sharing your account, or if your uncle from Kisumu and best friend from Mombasa are logging in, be prepared to adjust those binge-watching marathons! It looks like sharing is not caring in the Amazon realm anymore, my friends.

Who knew that streaming could come with its fair share of drama?! As if the NFL playoffs and NHL flares aren’t enough, these changes reflect a move towards a more controlled usage of subscriptions. So make sure to gather your tribe wisely, and check out those new episodes when they drop. Oh, and remember: when it comes to sports or streaming, it’s best enjoyed together - just like a great Kenyan meal! So dive into the world of Prime, whether it's sports or dramas, and mark your calendars; January is going to be lit!

Fun Fact 1: Did you know that NFL games have some of the highest viewership ratings compared to other sports events? It's no wonder Prime Video jumped on this bandwagon! Fun Fact 2: The Ottawa Senators, home to Brady Tkachuk, are known to have one of the strongest fan bases in Canada. Now that’s some teamwork you can appreciate, whether you’re all about hockey or just rooting for your home team!
