Potential Netflix Deal for NFL’s Christmas Day Games: Will it be a Goodwill or a Betrayal?
The NFL is reportedly looking to secure broadcasting rights for its two Christmas Day games in 2024, with potential earnings of $50 million to $100 million per game. One potential partner for these games is Netflix, which has shown it is capable of streaming live events, such as a recent Tom Brady roast on a Sunday night. However, the NFL’s negotiations for broadcasting rights may put them in a tricky situation as they may need to take these games away from networks like CBS and Fox. This could complicate their existing relationships with these networks. Despite the challenges, the NFL’s valuable product and limited supply give them leverage to make decisions in their favor, potentially leading to significant financial gains as they explore new broadcasting opportunities for Christmas 2024.
