And that’s the case on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, with two games on the calendar as part of Week 17 of the NFL season. One of them is the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers on Netflix. And if you’re here, you might be wondering: who are those voices you’re hearing on the broadcast of the streaming game?

After opening presents, NFL fans will be treated to a doubleheader of action on Christmas Day. The first game will pit the 14-1 Chiefs against the 10-5 Steelers in a matchup between two playoff-bound teams.

The betting odds for today’s Chiefs-Steelers game changed in the hours up to kickoff. Kansas City went from being listed at -2.5 points to -2 points and the over/under went from 44 points to 46 points in pregame betting at BetMGM.

NFL game streamed on Netflix is already reporting big numbers. According to sports business reporter Joe Pompliano, more than 200 countries tuned in to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers player the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday afternoon.

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 changes Wednesday, as the league will play Christmas Day games in the middle of the week for the first time.

It has finally happened: Netflix now has live football. Announced earlier this year, Christmas Day marks the beginning of the NFL's expansion onto the popular streaming service, with two games on tap for this year: the Chiefs and Steelers in the opener at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Ravens and Texans in the day's second game at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in the opening matchup on the NFL's doubleheader on Netflix.

The Chiefs come into this game riding a five-game winning streak, including a 27-19 win over the Texans last week. Patrick Mahomes continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, throwing, and running for touchdowns while leading Kansas City to the league’s best record.
