The NFL will embark on a new Christmas Day tradition starting this year. Christmas Day games have been played in the past throughout the NFL, but only on special occasions.  That will change this Wednesday,

Netflix has a lot at stake on Christmas Day, and one basic job: Don’t screw up. The company will be livestreaming two National Football League games with postseason implications, aiming to cement itself as a major player in live sports to woo subscribers and advertisers.

Netflix will have one of its biggest days since the site launched in 1998 when it carries two NFL games for the first time on Christmas.

Despite hiccups with a boxing match, the ad revenue a live football double bill would bring is one of the reasons it's worth the gamble.

The streaming giant will have one of its biggest days since the site launched in 1998 when it airs two NFL games for the first time.

Mina Kimes will be a studio analyst for Netflix's two NFL games on Christmas Day. She's hopeful the streamer has fixed its technical glitches from the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight.

If you don’t have Netflix but want to see the Christmas Day matchups, the games will also be carried on local television in each team’s respective markets, as well as on mobile with an NFL+ subscription in the NFL mobile app. The Chiefs will take on the Steelers at 1 p.m. ET followed by the Ravens taking on the Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET.
