After a hugely successful Christmas double-header in 2024 the NFL is adding a third festive fixture to this year’s line-up.
The full NFL schedule will be announced in an announcement event on Wednesday night but the league is building the anticipation with a series of date releases this week. The latest to emerge was the identities of the six teams playing on Christmas Day 2025, with the eyes of the world watching along at home.
This year’s holiday fixture list sees the Dallas Cowboys visit the Washington Commanders in a game streamed live on Netflix. The other Netflix offering is the Detroit Lions’ trip to the Minnesota Vikings.
Those two games will be either side of the sole Amazon Prime game, which will be a high-profile meeting between the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The battle of the streaming services will take center stage on December 25, with Netflix and Amazon Prime going head-to-head. Netflix may have an extra game but Amazon Prime bagged the biggest draw of all, the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Washington Commanders have a tough schedule over the Christmas schedule with two games in six days across that busy period. The Commanders take on the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on December 20 to kick-start the festive period. Also on that day, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Chicago Bears.
Streaming platforms are increasingly looking to lean into the world of sport, with the NFL key among the opportunities. In a sliding market the addition of live sports to their offerings has allowed Netflix to perform well and revenue was actually up by 12.5% the first quarter of 2025 in comparison to the same period in 2024.
