Netflix will air two NFL games in the US this Christmas
This Christmas Day will see Netflix air two NFL games in America this year with the streaming giant getting the rights to a massive package across US television this festive period.
Now though focus has turned to the two Christmas games after streaming issues plagued Netflix's airing of Jake Paul v Mike Tyson earlier this month.
Thousands and thousands of viewers worldwide complained about buffering on the platform during the fight card and this instantly caused questions around Netflix streaming NFL games.
Previous viewing figures on television have averaged around 30m on Christmas Day so a big number could be screening the games this year.
| Will Netflix be plagued by streaming issues on Christmas Day? | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| No | 2/1 | 33.3% |

NFL reportedly 'reassured' by Netflix around streaming issues
Reports on ESPN earlier this month say that the NFL have 'checked in' with Netflix after the debacle that happened during that Paul v Tyson fight.
Netflix estimated that more than 60m homes streamed the event and that unprecedented scale was part of the reason for buffering issues.
Chiefs v Steelers and Ravens v Texans will be the two games that air on Netflix in America this year, with Sky expected to show them over in the UK.
