Duke Announces Landmark Broadcasting Deal With Amazon Prime Video

The Duke men’s basketball program is entering a landmark deal with Amazon, which will televise three marquee college basketball matchups featuring the Blue Devils on its Prime Video streaming service in 2026-27.

The agreement spans over the next three years.

Here are the three matchups scheduled for the 2026-27 season:

  • Duke vs. UConn in Las Vegas on Nov. 25, 2026
  • Duke vs. Michigan at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, 2026
  • Duke vs. Gonzaga in Detroit on Feb. 20, 2027

The deal also includes extensive NIL opportunities for Duke players.

“In addition to our outstanding partnership with ESPN, we are excited to work with Prime Video on this groundbreaking initiative,” Duke athletic director Nina King said in a statement. “As Prime Video’s first college sports partner, this collaboration not only expands the global reach of Duke Men’s Basketball, but also creates meaningful opportunities for our student-athletes in a way that reflects innovation and excellence.”

These three neutral-site games represent a difficult non-conference schedule for the reigning ACC-champion Blue Devils. Duke, Michigan and UConn are all listed in the top five of ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings.

“It’s exciting to bring this relationship with Duke University to life, and we’re looking forward to presenting this premium college basketball showcase to fans around the world next season and beyond,” Charlie Neiman, Head of Sports Partnerships, Prime Video added in a statement. “Duke basketball games transcend the schedule, and the creation of this all-new offering gives fans more of what we all want, marquee matchups featuring the most successful programs in the nation.”
