Netflix to Stream NFL Games on Christmas Day for the First Time

The streaming giant will broadcast two NFL games, featuring major performances, as a test of its live event capabilities.

Netflix will stream two NFL games live on Christmas Day: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The broadcasts will include a pre-game taped performance by Mariah Carey and a live halftime show by Beyoncé, adding star power to the event.
This marks Netflix's first foray into live NFL game streaming, a move that could expand its ad-supported tier and attract new subscribers.
Fans have expressed concerns about potential streaming issues, referencing glitches during Netflix's previous live events like the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson boxing match.
The NFL views this partnership as an opportunity to grow its global audience, leveraging Netflix's extensive international reach.
