Wishing a Merry Christmas to Amazon: For the NFL 2025 season, Amazon’s Prime Video will broadcast one football game on December 25th, making them join Netflix in the world of streaming sports, who will once more showcase two games on that festive day.
The NFL has verified that Amazon’s Prime Video will broadcast a football game on December 25, 2025, as part of their ongoing “Thursday Night Football” deal stretching up to the 2033 season. However, this isn’t a unique exception for Christmas; Prime Video will air the game because it happens to be on a Thursday in 2025. The initial report about the Prime Video-broadcasted Christmas Day 2025 game was made by Puck.
This year’s Christmas football games haven’t been decided yet, as the league will likely announce the NFL schedule for 2025 in mid-May.
Last year, Netflix secured a three-year agreement that granted them broadcasting rights to two Christmas Day NFL games in 2024, and at least one game on Christmas each year through 2026. Conversely, Amazon obtained the rights to NFL games to be played the day after Thanksgiving, starting from 2023, which are now commonly known as “Black Friday” games.
On Christmas Day 2024, Netflix streamed NFL games for the first time, specifically the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans. The Texas-Ravens game also included a grand Beyoncé halftime performance, as she showcased songs from her “Cowboy Carter” album in her hometown of Houston.
On Christmas Day, Netflix reported that approximately 24 million American viewers tuned in to watch NFL games. In total, the company stated that around 65 million U.S. viewers caught at least a portion of either the Chiefs-Steelers or Ravens-Texans game broadcasts.
Previously, Netflix’s joint CEO, Ted Sarandos, affirmed again that Netflix doesn’t plan to acquire long-term sports broadcasting rights for entire seasons, but rather, he expressed enthusiasm for unique occasions such as the NFL’s Christmas Day matches.
