From Week 1 to Super Bowl week, Netflix’s new NFL footprint takes shape through 2029
Netflix has expanded its inventory of NFL games and will have a season-long presence with the league under a new deal announced Wednesday. The streaming service will have five regular-season games as well as the NFL Honors through 2029. It had been carrying two games on Christmas Day since 2024.
The announcement was made during its upfront presentation to advertisers. Netflix will air a Week 1 game, one on Thanksgiving Eve, two on Christmas Day and a 1 p. m.
ET contest on the Saturday of the final week of the regular season. Two of the matchups — both featuring the Lost Angeles Rams — were made official on Wednesday. Netflix will carry the Week 1 game between the Rams and San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.
The Rams will then host the Green Bay Packers in the first Thanksgiving Eve contest on Nov. 25. Both games will be aired in primetime in the United States at 8:35 p.
m. ET. The Week 1 game will be on Sept.
