Dude Perfect will return in its place stream on Amazon Prime Video for the Jets’ Black Friday game with the Broncos, The Post has learned.
Dude Perfect, which has greater than 100 million social media followers for his or her sports and comedy performances, also could have an Amazon Prime Video stream the next Thursday, Nov. 30, for the Cowboys and Seahawks.
The Dudes did 4 Amazon Thursday night streams last yr.
“They’ve this massive following that they built from scratch,” Jared Stacy, Prime Video’s sports director of live production, told The Post. “They are only a natural fit as we try to succeed in younger audiences — especially young audiences that aren’t watching linear television the way in which they were and aren’t watching games the way in which they may need a generation before.”
The Jets’ game, a 3 p.m. kickoff, the day after Thanksgiving, works well for the Dudes’ younger audience, because it doesn’t compete with bedtime. The Dallas game is near the group’s home in Frisco, Texas.
“We thought that was the proper one-two punch,” said Chad Coleman, Dude Perfect’s chief brand officer
Dude Perfect Amazon’s shows were more sporadic during last season. The thought of getting their performances on back-to-back weeks was designed to supply more continuity.

Amazon Prime Video’s goal is to make Black Friday an NFL tradition, similar to the Thanksgiving Day games.
The Dudes are designed to make that occur.
Amazon declined to say how many individuals watched last season’s editions or how much the Dudes are paid, however it is wanting to construct on what it began a yr ago.
“By presenting the sport differently, with characters like Dude Perfect that you realize hit and resonate with that audience, it felt like a no brainer,” Stacy said.
FDU to YES
Fairleigh Dickinson University basketball is finalizing a deal to have eight basketball games on YES this season, in line with sources, because it leverages the momentum from its men’s upset of No. 1 seeded Purdue in last yr’s NCAA Tournament.
Six of the games can be men’s hoops, while two can be women’s.
