2026 NFL Christmas Day Schedule: Packers vs. Bears to Air on Netflix

Netflix is set to broadcast two NFL games on Christmas Day for the third consecutive year, according to a report by Jordan Schultz. One of these matchups will see the Green Bay Packers facing off against the Chicago Bears in what promises to be an exciting showdown.

Both the Packers and the Bears will also be participating in Thanksgiving games. The Packers will take on the Los Angeles Rams in the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game, while the Bears will hit the road to play against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to the two Christmas Day games on Netflix, there will be a third game aired on Fox. This year, Christmas falls on a Friday, which is a bit unusual for NFL games, but it’s not unprecedented for these teams to play on a Friday.

Netflix’s NFL coverage is expanding this season, with the platform set to stream two Christmas Day games, the Week 1 Australia game featuring the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams, the Thanksgiving Eve game, and a Week 18 game with playoff implications.

While the other two Christmas Day games, one on Netflix and one on Fox, have yet to be announced, there are reports suggesting a matchup between the Seahawks and the Rams in Seattle on Christmas. However, this has not been officially confirmed.

According to Jordan Schultz, there is an expectation of a playoff rematch between the Bills and the Broncos on Christmas Day. This rematch stems from a controversial moment in the 2026 AFC Divisional Round when a catch by Brandin Cooks was ruled an interception by Denver.

The full NFL schedule for the upcoming season will be released on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
