Netflix’s NFL Deal and What Comes Next

Netflix began airing NFL games in 2024. That year, it streamed two Christmas matchups. In 2025, it’s doing the same. This is the second year of a three-year deal with the NFL. In 2026, Netflix will stream at least one more holiday game.

There’s interest in doing more. Netflix has spoken with the NFL about adding Sunday matchups in future seasons. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

This year’s holiday schedule features three total games. Netflix has the first two. Amazon Prime Video has the final game at night.

We’ll update this post if Netflix announces more games or changes its plans.

We’ll keep this guide updated with the latest broadcast and coverage details. Check back for any new updates before Christmas Day.
