Netflix Finalizes Broadcast Teams for NFL Christmas Games

Netflix will return for its second season of NFL Christmas GameDay in 2025, featuring two games with well-known broadcasting teams. The early game, Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders, will be called by CBS Sports’ Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson, and Matt Ryan, replacing J.J. Watt who is no longer part of the booth. The late afternoon contest features the Detroit Lions at the Minnesota Vikings, with NBC’s Noah Eagle on play-by-play joined by former quarterback Drew Brees, making his return to the broadcast booth. Both Eagles will reprise their roles from last year’s Christmas Day slate, while Brees brings back his broadcasting experience from NBC and last year’s Netflix international stream. Additional sideline reporters and studio programming details, produced by NFL Media, are expected to be announced later. The move reflects ongoing collaboration between Netflix and traditional broadcasters, despite some networks' reservations about working with streaming services.
