There are multiple NFL games on Christmas this season for the fourth year in a row. After three Yuletide games in each of the last two seasons, how many NFL games are on Christmas this year?
The league has slimmed down its holiday slate in 2024 with Christmas falling on a Wednesday. There are only two games on December 25, featuring four AFC playoff teams squaring off.
First, the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Acrisure Stadium to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Later in the afternoon, the Houston Texans will host the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last year’s divisional-round matchup.
In the first year of Netflix’s three-year partnership with the NFL, the streaming giant will host the league’s two Christmas games in 2024.
How many NFL games are on Christmas?
There are two games on Christmas this year:
The first is a clash between the Chiefs and Steelers in Pittsburgh, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET on Netflix. Both teams have already clinched playoff spots and only have seeding to play for in the final couple of weeks.
After the first game ends, the Texans and Ravens will kick off in Houston with a scheduled start of 4:30 p.m. ET. Houston has already clinched its division, but Baltimore is still in the hunt for a second straight AFC North title.
