Netflix has a talented team to announce Christmas Day games on Thursday. The panel will feature a WWE star too

It's Christmas time, and the NFL has lined up three top-notch matchups for fans to celebrate with. The day started with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Washington Commanders. The next game is between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings, before the Kansas City Chiefs face the Denver Broncos. Interestingly, the first two games are on Netflix.

Netflix is rolling out an all-star broadcast crew for its Christmas Day doubleheader, bringing a mix of big names, fresh personalities and on-site coverage to give each matchup a big-event feel.

Both games feature full pregame productions from the stadiums. Meanwhile, Amazon will lean on its familiar ‘Thursday Night Football’ team for the evening showdown in Kansas City.
