On Christmas day 2024, the NFL will only have their games available to watch on Netflix.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The NFL has announced that they will be teaming up with Netflix to stream their games on Christmas day.
Netflix will not only be playing two games this Christmas but will also stream at least one holiday game each year as a part of the three-season deal agreement.
“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.”
Although it has not yet been said which teams will be playing on which holidays, the full season schedule will be released on Wednesday, May 15 by the NFL at 8 p.m. (EST).
