The streamer would have its first event from a major professional sports league as it makes a push into TV's advertising market.
Christmas could be coming early for Netflix. The NFL is considering a bid from the streaming behemoth for two football games to be played on Dec. 25, which falls on a Wednesday this year. The games would be the first major professional league sports events carried by the streaming giant. An NFL representative had no comment. But one person familiar with the discussions said the league is still weighing the offer.
Over time, Netflix has increasingly invested in sports-related content. Earlier this year, Netflix said it would become the home for WWE Raw starting in January 2025 and announced it would host live boxing matches, including one with YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul and Mike Tyson in July. Other live sports events streamed on Netflix include a tennis exhibition match and a golf tournament.
