The NFL Honors, the league's annual awards ceremony celebrating its biggest stars, is reportedly making a major move to streaming. According to sources speaking to Front Office Sports, Netflix is closing in on a deal to become the exclusive home of the event starting in 2027.

For football fans, this is a big shift. Traditionally, the Super Bowl week ceremony—where honors like MVP, Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year are handed out—has been simulcast on NFL Network and the network broadcasting the big game. Last year, it aired on NBC and NFL Network. But now, Netflix looks ready to take the reins, with sources calling it "likely" that the streaming giant will be the sole broadcaster for the upcoming season.

This isn't Netflix's first play for NFL content. The streaming service has been steadily building its sports lineup, focusing on what it calls "eventizing" programming—turning big moments into must-watch events. Over the past two seasons, Netflix has streamed a Christmas Day NFL doubleheader, and reports suggest it's already secured three additional games for the 2026 season. That includes a Week 1 matchup in Melbourne, Australia, and a Thanksgiving Eve game, according to The Athletic and Puck.

These new games are reportedly part of a five-game package that the NFL recently reclaimed in its deal with ESPN and NFL Network. Fox and NBC/Peacock will each get one game from this package this season as well.

Beyond football, Netflix is expanding its sports portfolio with MLB games, including Opening Day and the Home Run Derby. The platform has also dabbled in combat sports, airing the highly anticipated boxing match between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, plus an upcoming MMA card featuring Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, promoted by Jake Paul.

For fans who love to gear up for game day, this shift means more ways to catch the action—and more reasons to sport your favorite team's apparel while streaming the biggest moments in sports.
