NFL announces major change to its Christmas Day schedule

By JAKE NISSE

The NFL is going back to a Christmas Day tripleheader for the 2025 season, it has been reported.

Last year, the league held two games on Wednesday, December 25, as the Chiefs beat the Steelers and the Ravens trounced the Texans.

With Christmas falling on a Thursday in 2025, the NFL will broadcast two games on Netflix and a late contest on Amazon, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

Both the Kansas City-Pittsburgh and Baltimore-Houston games were on Netflix last year.

While the NFL first held a regular season game on Christmas Day back in 1989, the triple-header is a relatively new installation.

A trio of Christmas games was first held in 2022, with the Packers beating the Dolphins, the Rams beating the Broncos and the Bucs edging out the Cardinals in overtime.

The following year, the triple-header trend continued as the Raiders knocked off the Chiefs, the Giants lost to the Eagles and the Ravens beat the 49ers.
