In a stunning move that’s rocking the NFL, the owners of the San Francisco 49ers have reportedly sold approximately 10% of the team to billionaire entrepreneur Jeff Bezos. With the ink barely dry on the deal, speculation is erupting: is Bezos about to turn the 49ers into the crown jewel of Amazon’s sports empire? And more importantly—will Amazon stream every 49ers game exclusively on Prime Video?

Multiple insiders confirm that Bezos acquired his stake through a quiet deal brokered over the past few months, involving investment firms tied to the York family and tech partners in the Bay Area.
“It’s a strategic partnership more than just a stake,” said an anonymous source close to the negotiations. “Bezos didn’t just buy into the 49ers—he’s buying into the next phase of how we watch, interact with, and monetize football.”
Amazon Prime to Take Over Game Day?
Following Amazon’s success with Thursday Night Football, fans are now wondering if the 49ers are about to become Amazon’s flagship team for full-season streaming.
Leaked documents obtained by sports tech blog GridironLeaks suggest a bold initiative known internally as “Project End Zone”, which could roll out as early as the 2025 season. The project reportedly includes:
Exclusive Prime Video broadcasts of all 49ers home games
Immersive AR viewing experiences through Amazon Fire devices
Interactive live stats powered by AWS and AI predictions
Real-time shopping for team gear with one-click buys
