Christmas Day sees two NFL matches take place as fans are treated to America's favourite sport on Netflix.
There might not be any Premier League fixtures on December 25, but there has been a long tradition of American Football games being played on the date. It began in 1971 and became semi-regular from 1989 and sees some of the most eagerly awaited matches of the regular season. This year, four teams will take to the field with Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs facing off against Pittsburgh Steelers, while Houston Texans play host to Baltimore Ravens.
Netflix's relationship with the NFL dates back to their hit series 'Quarterback' in 2023, and they've extended their partnership by agreeing to broadcast at least one NFL game every Christmas until 2026.
Fans will certainly get their money's worth this year with two Christmas games to be shown on Netflix. For those wanting to tune in, here are all the details via The Mirror.
