Yes, the NFL is coming to Netflix (WHAT?!) starting with a doubleheader on Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25) in 2024.

Netflix is set to air Christmas games through at least 2026.

Hey, football 🏈 fans! Guess what? There is gonna be yet another streamer entering the NFL media landscape for the 2024 season. In addition to games on ESPN+, Prime Video (Thursday nights), Peacock (Sunday night simulcasts/exclusive game), you now must factor in Netflix, the streaming service, into the equation.

Because today (Wednesday, May 15), if you are reading this article on the date of the publishing, the NFL announced that Netflix will be airing BOTH of the NFL's Christmas 🎄 games for the 2024 season, on Wednesday December 25. In addition to this year's Christmas doubleheader, the streaming platform will host at least ONE Christmas Day game in 2025 & 2026 as well.

Previously, Netflix has had a superficial relationship with the National Football League (NFL). The streaming platform aired the popular NFL series, "Quarterback" in 2023 (featuring Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, then-Vikings and now Falcons QB Kirk Cousins & then-Falcons, former Eagles and now Commanders QB Marcus Mariota). And now, Netflix is set to air the documentary series "Receiver" this summer, featuring five wide receivers during the 2023 season -- Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, Raiders WR Davante Adams, 49ers WR's Deebo Samuel & George Kittle, Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

And now, Netflix is slated to air live NFL games for the very first time. As of now, we now ZERO idea of who's calling these games, what the studio team will look like, etc.. Those details will emerge over the next few months.

With that in mind, here's the schedule for the first season of the NFL on Netflix. Yeah, that will take some getting used to! But, I am here for you guys.
