Netflix may be a potential partner for the NFL’s two December 25 games in 2024, as Boomer Esiason of WFAN recently speculated. The league is looking to secure between $50 million to $100 million for each game. While the NFL and Netflix have not previously partnered for games, Netflix has shown that it is capable of streaming live events, such as a Tom Brady roast on a Sunday night.
However, the NFL’s negotiations for the broadcasting rights have put them in a bit of a tricky situation. The schedule for these games may require taking them from networks like CBS and Fox. While the NFL has the authority to make these decisions, it may complicate their existing relationships with these networks.
Despite the challenges, the NFL’s highly valuable product and limited supply give them the leverage to make decisions in their favor. This could lead to a significant financial gain for the league as they explore new broadcasting opportunities for Christmas 2024.
