After multiple reports that the NFL and Netflix were in talks to stream NFL games in 2024, today, the NFL confirmed its partnership with Netflix to air two NFL games on Christmas Day in 2024. This will also give Netflix exclusive rights to at least one Christmas Day game in 2025 and 2026.
“Last year, we decided to take a big bet on live — tapping into massive fandoms across comedy, reality TV, sports and more,” said Bela Bajaria, Netflix chief content officer. “There are no live annual events, sports or otherwise, that compare with the audiences NFL football attracts. We’re so excited that the NFL’s Christmas Day games will be only on Netflix.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to be the first professional sports league to partner with Netflix to bring live games to fans around the world,” said Hans Schroeder, NFL executive vice president of media distribution. “The NFL on Christmas has become a tradition and to partner with Netflix, a service whose biggest day of the year is typically this holiday, is the perfect combination to grow this event globally for NFL fans.”
The exact teams for this game have not been announced, as the season lineup tonight will include the Christmas Day games.
