The NFL will embark on a new Christmas Day tradition starting this year. Christmas Day games have been played in the past throughout the NFL, but only on special occasions.  That changes Wednesday, as the league will play Christmas Day games in the middle of the week for the first time.

The Christmas NFL games will kick off at 1:00 pm EST and both matchups are potential previews of the playoffs. Kansas City is the No. 1 seed in the AFC entering Week 17, and the Chiefs will face the Steelers in the opening game. Meanwhile, Baltimore will face the Texans in a rematch of the 2023 divisional-round matchup.

The most magical time of the year is here and the NFL is giving us the gift of a Christmas Day Beyoncé performance. Here’s a guide on how to watch the festivities.

Netflix will be the fourth SVOD to exclusively stream an NFL game to their subscibers, joining Prime Video, ESPN+ and ESPN.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be back in action on Christmas Day as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a mid-week showdown. While many fans are excited to see their team play on the holiday, some individuals are less than thrilled about the Steelers' schedule this month.

The NFL is getting more and more progressive with when they schedule games and who they have broadcast them. During Week 17, for the first time ever, Netflix will live stream NFL games, and they will do so on Christmas Day.
