Why Netflix is streaming NFL games on Christmas Day
SUMMARY: The way fans watch NFL games has evolved significantly, with Netflix now streaming major matchups, including Chiefs vs. Steelers and Ravens vs. Texans on Christmas Day. This shift comes as Netflix aims to compete with platforms like Amazon that host “Thursday Night Football.” Amidst concerns about technical difficulties encountered during previous live events, Netflix is pursuing a live programming strategy, moving beyond traditional cable and satellite frameworks. Experts suggest that Netflix is responding to shifting viewer habits due to cord-cutting trends. Games will also be available locally and through the NFL+ app for those without Netflix subscriptions.
