NFL Comes to Netflix in 2026: Confirmed Games, Kickoff Times & Details

Over the past few years, Netflix has spent plenty of time and resources turning itself into the leading streaming platform for live sports. Whether it's high-profile boxing matches, important baseball games, or the arrival of Formula 1 racing, Netflix is gradually becoming the go-to platform in this space.

Since December 2024, Netflix has also been expanding its sports coverage to include NFL games. The streamer has recently signed a four-year partnership deal with the National Football League to extend this agreement to 2030, bringing six major NFL games to Netflix every season (via What's On Netflix).

In 2026, this will kick off with the first-ever NFL game in Australia, which will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10, between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. The game will kick off at 10:35 AM AEST, or 08:35 PM EDT / 05:35 PM PDT.

The second Netflix NFL game of the 2026/2027 season will take place on November 25, the night before Thanksgiving. In this holiday clash, the Green Bay Packers will face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The game starts at 08:00 PM EST / 05:00 PM PST.

The next games to stream exclusively on Netflix will both take place on December 25, 2026, continuing the streamer's tradition of Christmas Day football. The Green Bay Packers will face the Chicago Bears in the early afternoon, kicking off from Soldier Field at 01:00 PM EST / 10 AM PST. Later that day, the Buffalo Bills will play against the Denver Broncos at 04:30 PM EST and 01:30 PM PST.

Heading into 2027, Netflix has one more game scheduled from this year's season-but the teams are yet to be determined. The match will take place in the 18th and final week of the regular season on January 9, 2027, with a place in the championships on the line.

Netflix will also host next year's NFL Honors, an annual awards ceremony held on the week of the Super Bowl to close out the season.
