Netflix has announced its Christmas Day NFL broadcast teamsNetflix will air NFL games for the first time on Christmas Day, with Ian Eagle and Noah Eagle as play-by-play broadcasters and J.J. Watt , Greg Olsen , and Nate Burleson as analysts. The early game will be between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, while the late contest will be between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. Watt, who retired from the NFL after 2022, will be paid by Netflix for their coverage of the Christmas Day games. Both Eagle, Burleson, and Watt work for CBS Sports.
Noah Eagle and Olsen, both from Fox Sports, were initially denied permission to work on the Christmas Day games for Netflix. However, they were granted permission. Netflix will have sideline reporters for both games. The deal, worth $150 million, includes streaming at least one game in 2025 and 2026. Netflix will air NFL games for the first time, following NFL quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Kirk Cousins in the 2023 season. The streaming service has previously aired NFL series "Quarterback" and "Receivers" following players like Davante Adams and Justin Jefferson in the 2024 season.
Netflix plans to add a sideline reporter to each broadcast team, according to Andrew Marchand's report, although the names of these reporters have not been disclosed. NFL Network's Rich Eisen will be the studio host for the Christmas Day games, alongside other unannounced talent, according to John Ourand of Puck before the start of the NFL season. Netflix has reportedly paid $75 million for two Christmas Day games, marking its first significant investment in live sports programming, compared to smaller one-off events that have aired on smaller holidays.
