Duke Announces Streaming Partnership with Amazon

Prime Video will exclusively air three Duke neutral-site games per season and add NIL opportunities as part of Amazon’s first college sports deal.

  • On Thursday, April 30, 2026, Duke University and Amazon announced a multiyear agreement to exclusively stream three marquee men's basketball games per season on Prime Video, marking the first such deal for a major collegiate program.
  • Duke athletic director Nina King said the collaboration creates "meaningful opportunities" for student-athletes to generate revenue outside the approximately $20.5 million revenue share cap while expanding the program's global reach.
  • The exclusive broadcast schedule features three neutral-site games: UConn in Las Vegas on Nov. 25, reigning champion Michigan at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, and Gonzaga in Detroit on Feb. 20.
  • Following its 11-year deal with the NBA and exclusive coverage of Thursday Night Football, Amazon's first foray into live college sports represents the streaming giant's aggressive expansion into collegiate media rights.
  • As schools maximize revenue for championship pursuits, other streaming brands increasingly target college sports rights, with industry experts suggesting this pioneering agreement could trigger an arms race in coming years.
