NFL fans are on pins and needles today as their favorite teams have their schedules announced. Meanwhile, two big dominos fell as far as where people will gather to watch games on Christmas and who will be the new team on this season of Hard Knocks on HBO, though there is a twist to that.
First, Netflix takes its first big swing into live sports, as the streamer has partnered with the NFL to air two Christmas Day games. The four teams playing in the games will be announced with the rest of the schedule later this evening. Christmas Day is on a Wednesday this year. Moving forward, they will also have at least one holiday game a year starting in 2026. The initial deal is for three years, according to Deadline.
That means free agency, the scouting combine, and the NFL Draft. Some of that should be pretty interesting.'We are incredibly proud that 'Hard Knocks' is widely thought of as one of the most successful and entertaining unscripted sports franchises ever produced. To be able to expand on the 'Hard Knocks' universe, and with an elite franchise in the Giants while they celebrate their 100th season, is a privilege for all of us at NFL Films.
