How to Watch the NFL Christmas Gameday Live on Netflix

The games will be broadcast live on Netflix. However, that isn't the only place to watch. 

The games will also be broadcast locally on television in each of the home and away team markets, for their respective games. 

The games will also be available to stream on mobile with an NFL+ subscription, available through the NFL mobile app.

"Last year, we decided to take a big bet on live — tapping into massive fandoms across comedy, reality TV, sports, and more," says Netflix Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria. "There are no live annual events, sports or otherwise, that compare with the audiences NFL football attracts. We’re so excited that the NFL’s Christmas Day games will be only on Netflix."
