REPORT: Netflix Reveals Their Star-Studded Broadcast Teams For Christmas Day Games That Includes A Couple Of NFL Legends

After paying roughly $150 million to air two NFL games on Christmas, Netflix has found its broadcasting team.

Per The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, the crew for the two games will be Ian Eagle and Noah Eagle as play-by-play broadcasters, former Houston Texans great JJ WattGreg Olsen, and Nate Burleson as analysts.

Ian Eagle, Burelson, and Watt will reportedly call the early game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, while Noah Eagle and Olsen will call the late contest between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

A major move by Netflix.

Watt, who retired from the NFL following the 2022 season, made his broadcasting debut during the 2023 season. Watt, Ian Eagle, and Burleson work for CBS but will be paid by Netflix for their coverage of the Christmas Day games.

Streaming games online will continue to be part of the future for the NFL.

Amazon already owns the Black Friday game, as well as the “Thursday Night Football” package.
