It has finally happened: Netflix now has live football. Announced earlier this year, Christmas Day marks the beginning of the NFL's expansion onto the popular streaming service, with two games on tap for this year: the Chiefs and Steelers in the opener at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Ravens and Texans in the day's second game at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The Chiefs come into this game riding a five-game winning streak, including a 27-19 win over the Texans last week. Patrick Mahomes continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, throwing, and running for touchdowns while leading Kansas City to the league’s best record.
Netflix and the NFL have had a relationship for a couple years, starting in 2023 with the docuseries “Quarterback,” which followed Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota during the 2022-23 NFL season. In July, Netflix released “Receiver,” which follows five of the NFL’s best pass catchers through the 2023 season.
The preview for “Happy Gilmore 2” gave viewers their first look at Kelce, along with Shooter McGavin and others who were in the first film. You can see the trailer online.
Whether there's rain or shine, a night game or day game, or a merry matchup on a seasonal holiday, nothing will stop Chiefs Kingdom from cheering on their beloved team... and Christmas Day is no exception!
