Netflix is taking on live sports streaming by hosting the NFL's two Christmas Day games, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans. Beyoncé will headline the halftime show during the Ravens game. While Netflix expands into live programming, concerns remain about its ability to handle real-time events without technical issues, following previous delays and glitches.
The streaming giant is moving deeper into live programming but faces questions about its ability to host real-time events without a hitch.In a first, Netflix is set to host the NFL ’s two marquee Christmas Day games: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Baltimore Ravens against the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m.
“We didn’t meet the standard that we expect from ourselves to serve our members,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said on an earnings call last year. The media operation at the NFL, which entered into a three-year deal with Netflix to broadcast some games, feels confident about the streaming platform’s bandwidth.
Netflix is not the only major streaming service that has pushed more deeply into high-profile events that were once carried on broadcast networks or cable channels.
