Get ready for a festive football feast! The National Football League (NFL) has unveiled a blockbuster Christmas Day schedule for 2025, designed to deliver non-stop action to fans worldwide, including in India. Moving away from traditional TV broadcasts, the league is embracing a streaming-first model, making it easier than ever for international audiences to catch every thrilling moment.
NFL Christmas Day 2025: Complete Game Schedule
The league has scheduled a thrilling triple-header for December 25, 2025, ensuring football dominates the holiday from afternoon until late night. The matchups feature some of the most iconic rivalries and teams in the sport.
The action kicks off with the historic rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders. This game starts at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) and will be played at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Next, the Detroit Lions face the Minnesota Vikings at 4:30 p.m. ET. This crucial NFC North clash will take place at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

How to Watch NFL Christmas Games: A Streaming Guide for Fans in India
This year marks a significant shift in how fans access the games. For the first time, the Christmas Day schedule will be primarily available via streaming platforms, not standard cable channels.
The first two games—Cowboys vs. Commanders and Lions vs. Vikings—will be streamed exclusively on Netflix. The final marquee matchup, Broncos vs. Chiefs, will be streamed exclusively on Prime Video.
This means fans in India and across the globe will need active subscriptions to these services to watch the games. The good news is that Netflix will stream the first two games globally, with multi-language commentary options including English. Prime Video's availability for the late game is also broad, covering most international regions, though viewers should check local listings.
This move eliminates the dependency on regional sports networks, offering a seamless viewing experience for fans in Europe, Asia, and beyond.
More Than Just Football: Halftime Shows and Festive Celebrations
The NFL is turning Christmas Day into a full-scale entertainment spectacle. Alongside top-tier commentary teams featuring seasoned analysts and former players, the league has lined up major musical performances to enhance the holiday atmosphere.
Global music icon and rapper Snoop Dogg is set to be the main halftime act during the Lions vs. Vikings game. Adding to the festive cheer, pop superstar Kelly Clarkson will perform a special holiday song before the kickoff of that same game.
This blend of high-stakes football, global streaming accessibility, and star-powered entertainment promises to make NFL Christmas Day 2025 a unique celebration. For fans in India, all it takes is the right subscription and a dash of festive spirit to enjoy the show from the comfort of home.
