NFL Christmas Games Schedule 2024
There will be two NFL games on Christmas Day this year, both exclusively streamed on Netflix. While these games will attract viewers across the country, they will be particularly popular for Maryland sports betting as the Baltimore Ravens will take a trip to Houston for an AFC Divisional Round rematch with the Texans. Here is the full NFL Christmas schedule for 2024.
🏈 Game | ⌚ Kickoff Time | 📺 How to Watch |
Chiefs at Steelers | 1:00 p.m. ET, 9:00 a.m. PT | Netflix |
Ravens at Texans | 4:30 p.m. ET, 1:30 p.m. PT | Netflix |
Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers: 1:00 p.m. ET
Kicking things off on Christmas Day, the Chiefs will be heading east to take on the Steelers in what is setting up to be a massive AFC matchup. Heading into Week 12, KC just picked up their first loss of the year while Pittsburgh is just one game behind for the AFC lead. If this trend continues for both teams, this matchup could very well determine who gets the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
Although the Steelers lead this matchup with an all-time record of 23-14, the Chiefs have won three straight including a Wild Card beatdown in 2022.
Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans
In another high-profile AFC bout, Baltimore will travel to Houston for the second and final NFL Christmas game of the day. This game could also have postseason ramifications as the Ravens playoff picture could be swung by this game. If the playoffs were to start today (Week 12), the Ravens would be the sixth seed in the AFC playoff race. Baltimore now trails the Steelers by a game with Pittsburgh currently holding one of the tiebreakers thanks to a Week 11 win over the Ravens.
How to Watch the NFL on Christmas Day
Both NFL Christmas Day games will be streamed exclusively on Netflix. In fact, Netflix signed a contract with the NFL to broadcast at least one Christmas game for the next three years. While nobody batted an eye over this news when it was first announced, the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson debacle has completely changed that. It's safe to say that if Netflix can't figure out the buffering issues that made the Paul/Tyson fight unwatchable, Christmases will be ruined across the country.
