The NFL has two Christmas Day games scheduled on Wednesday, December 25. At 1:00 p.m. EST, the Chiefs will face the Steelers on the road. Later in the day, the Ravens will face the Texans at 4:25 p.m.

Unlike the broadcast networks that have traditionally served as the NFL's primary TV partners, Netflix has always generated most of its revenue from subscriber fees, not ad sales.

FanDuel and Verizon are among the sponsors of streaming giant Netflix's coverage of two NFL Christmas Day games.

Netflix says that users of its advertising tier have surged in the past six months, and that the ad tier now has 70 million monthly active users globally. That is up from only 40 million just six months ago, and up from 15 million a year ago.

Netflix has sold out its Christmas Day NFL games, the streamer announced Tuesday. Verizon and FanDuel will sponsor the two games, which will stream live on the platform Dec. 25; other partners were not disclosed.

In its last reported earnings, Netflix announced it gained 5.1 million subscribers in the third quarter of 2024, totaling 282.7 million subscribers across all membership types. Re
