Get ready, football fans—Netflix is leveling up its game in 2026. The streaming giant, which inked a three-year deal with the NFL ahead of the 2024 season, has been steadily adding more live football to its lineup. What started with two Christmas Day games has now expanded into a bigger slate of must-watch matchups.
This year, Netflix isn't just the home of holiday football. The NFL's latest schedule release reveals that the platform will broadcast the league's first-ever regular season game in Australia—a Week 1 clash between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. That's a historic moment for the sport Down Under, and Netflix will be there to capture every yard.
But the action doesn't stop there. Mark your calendars for a "Thanksgiving Eve" game on the Wednesday before Turkey Day. In Week 12, the Rams will take on the Green Bay Packers in a prime-time showdown that's sure to get fans in the holiday spirit a day early.
Of course, Netflix will also continue its tradition of airing two Christmas Day games, keeping the festive football streak alive. With this growing partnership, the NFL is proving it's all about reaching fans wherever they are—whether that's on the couch, on a plane, or streaming from the other side of the world.
So grab your favorite team gear, settle in, and get ready for a season that's more connected than ever. Netflix is officially part of the NFL's big playbook, and 2026 is shaping up to be a game-changer.
