Netflix has secured rights to three additional National Football League games under a new four‑year agreement, expanding its sports portfolio beyond the single Christmas Day match it currently streams.

The deal includes an opening‑week international fixture, a new Thanksgiving Eve game, and a season‑ending showdown. Netflix also keeps its existing Christmas Day slot, solidifying its foothold in live sports.

Fox and NBC receive extra games in the same season, while CBS gains the option to shift a Sunday afternoon match to Saturday night prime time. These moves diversify broadcast options for fans and increase competition among networks.

The expanded NFL partnership boosts Netflix’s value proposition to subscribers seeking live sports and positions the platform as a serious contender against traditional broadcasters.
