The streaming platform Netflix will broadcast its first National Football League matchup on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, featuring the Los Angeles Rams welcoming the Green Bay Packers to their home stadium, league officials revealed Wednesday.
This November 25 evening game represents the league’s inaugural contest scheduled for Thanksgiving Eve and is among five NFL matchups Netflix will stream during the current season under an extended agreement lasting until 2029, according to published reports. The streaming service has confirmed its 2026 game lineup.
The Week 12 matchup will showcase Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who earned NFL MVP honors, facing off against Packers signal-caller Jordan Love. Stafford topped the league with 4,707 passing yards while throwing a personal-best 46 touchdown passes.
Each franchise reached the playoffs during the previous campaign. The Rams finished with a 12-5 regular season record before falling in the NFC Championship Game to the Seattle Seahawks, who went on to capture the Super Bowl title.
Green Bay posted a 9-7-1 record but saw their season end with a wild-card round defeat to the Chicago Bears.
Netflix will additionally broadcast the Rams’ season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia on September 10. The platform has also secured rights to two Christmas Day games and a crucial Week 18 contest with postseason implications.
The streaming service also revealed Wednesday it has obtained rights to broadcast the NFL Honors awards ceremony during Super Bowl week.
Earlier this week, league officials announced the Dallas Cowboys will welcome the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving Day in a game televised by Fox.
The complete 2026 NFL schedule is set for official release on Thursday.
