Neftlix is heavily tipped to outbid the competition air two live NFL games on Christmas Day.
Writing on social media platform X, John Ourand – a veteran sports business reporter – said: “It looks like Netflix will wind up carrying the two NFL games scheduled for December 25th, per a bevy of sources”.
It’s not yet know how much Netflix would pay for the rights to the two games, but reports suggest it will be in the range of $100 million -$200 million.
“Amazon paid $100 million for the exclusive rights to that unwatchable Jets-Dolphins Black Friday rain-out contest. Would Netflix pay double for a package of two games, and the chance to own Christmas Day? More?,” speculated Ourand.
Netflix is showing a growing interest in major sports rights. Just this year it has picked up WWE rights in a $5 billion deal and hosted The Netflix Slam. In July the streaming platform will showcase a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
