The Ravens ended the year on a four-game winning streak to pass the Steelers and capture the AFC North title. The Steelers enter the playoffs as losers of four straight, which has dropped them to the No. 6 seed in the AFC. These two bitter divisional foes split their season series, with each team winning at home, and will meet for a third time this season on Sunday night in Baltimore.

The Steelers-Ravens Wild Card game kicks off on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). The game will stream nationally on Prime Video and for free on Twitch. Fans in Baltimore and Pittsburgh can watch on a local TV station, but the rest of the country will need to stream it on Prime Video or Twitch.

How to watch Steelers vs. Ravens playoff game

The Steelers-Ravens game will streamed nationally on Amazon Prime Video, giving NFL fans more incentive than free two-day shipping to sign up for an Amazon Prime account, which costs $15 a month or $139 a year. You can also subscribe only to Prime Video for $9 a month.

If you don’t pay for either of Amazon’s services you can watch for free on Prime Video’s Twitch channel. (Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)

You can also use NFL Plus, the league’s $7-per-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included), to stream the game without subscribing to Prime or Prime Video. Note that NFL Plus viewing is limited to watching on just a phone or tablet, not on a computer or TV.

The Steelers-Ravens game will be the first NFL playoff game on Prime Video. For millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, the Prime Video channel is already included at no extra cost. But if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, it might be worth it to shell out the $9 a month for the stand-alone Prime Video service, not only for football but also its impressive selection of shows and movies.

Can I watch the Steelers-Ravens game on local TV?

Yes, Steelers and Ravens fans in the local markets of each team will be able to watch the game on an over-the-air station. For this game, that’s NBC 11 (WPXI) in Pittsburgh and ABC 2 (WMAR) in Baltimore, according to 506 Sports
