Overview
- Netflix carries a Christmas Day doubleheader for the second year of its three-year NFL deal, following 2024 games that each averaged more than 24 million viewers.
- The Lions–Vikings game streams nationally on Netflix at 4:30 p.m. ET, but airs locally on CBS affiliates WCCO-4 in the Twin Cities and WWJ-62/CBS Detroit.
- NFL+ offers the national feed on mobile devices only, and non-subscribers to Netflix can opt for its ad tier or ad-free plans at listed monthly prices.
- Coverage includes live pregame shows from both sites, Kelly Clarkson opening the broadcast, and Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party featuring Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, and performers from KPop Demon Hunters.
- Only Detroit retains a slim postseason path, while Cowboys, Commanders, and Vikings are eliminated; the day starts with Cowboys–Commanders at 1 p.m. ET on Netflix and ends with Broncos–Chiefs at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
