The NFL may be considering a major move in securing broadcasting rights for its two December 25 games in 2024. Reports suggest that the league is looking to secure between $50 million to $100 million for each game. One potential partner that has been speculated could be Netflix, as Boomer Esiason of WFAN recently suggested.
The NFL and Netflix have not previously worked together on games, but Netflix has shown it is capable of streaming live events, such as a Tom Brady roast on a Sunday night. A partnership between the NFL and Netflix could open up new opportunities for both parties.
However, the NFL’s negotiations for broadcasting rights are creating some challenges. The schedule for these games may require taking them from networks like CBS and Fox. While the NFL has the authority to make these decisions, it may complicate their relationships with these networks.
Despite these difficulties, the NFL’s highly valuable product and limited supply give them leverage to make decisions in their favor. This could lead to a significant financial gain for the league as they explore new broadcasting opportunities for Christmas 2024.
