Football fans, brace yourselves! The NFL is making its debut on Netflix, starting with a Christmas Day doubleheader on Wednesday, December 25, 2024.
This groundbreaking move will see Netflix air Christmas games through at least 2026, marking a significant expansion in the NFL’s media landscape.
NFL’s New Streaming Home
In 2024, Netflix joins the roster of streaming platforms airing NFL games, alongside ESPN+, Prime Video, and Peacock. The NFL’s decision to bring its Christmas Day games to Netflix adds a new dimension to the streaming wars.
Announced on May 15, 2024, Netflix will broadcast both of the NFL’s Christmas games this year, and at least one Christmas Day game in the following two years.
A Growing Relationship
Netflix’s relationship with the NFL has been growing steadily. In 2023, Netflix aired the popular series “Quarterback,” featuring star players like Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, then-Vikings and now Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, and Commanders QB Marcus Mariota.
This summer, Netflix will release “Receiver,” a documentary series following wide receivers Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Amon-Ra St. Brown during the 2023 season.
What to Expect
While details about commentators and studio teams are still under wraps, the excitement is palpable. Here’s what we know about the 2024 Christmas Day broadcast schedule:
