NFL Christmas Day schedule 2026: Netflix to air Packers-Bears, per report

For the third year in a row, Netflix will air two NFL games on Christmas Day. One of the matchups will feature the Green Bay Packers going on the road to take on the Chicago Bears, per Jordan Schultz.

Both franchises will also be involved in Thanksgiving games. The Packers will face the Los Angeles Rams in the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game, and the Bears will go on the road to face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

This year’s Christmas Day slate will feature two Netflix games, plus a third game airing on Fox. Luckily, the holiday falls on a Friday in 2026, so while it is out of the ordinary to see three games on a Friday, it's not the most unusual time slot for these teams.

Netflix is expanding its offering of NFL games this season. While the platform will stream its two Christmas Day games as usual, it will also broadcast the Week 1 Australia game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams, the Thanksgiving Eve game and a Week 18 game with playoff implications.

The other two games on Christmas, one for Netflix and one for Fox, have not been leaked yet. Reportedly, the Seahawks will play the Rams on Christmas in Seattle, but that has not been confirmed.

The NFL will release its full schedule on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
