The NFL has finalized its Week 17 schedule, which includes a tripleheader on Christmas Day and a Saturday doubleheader.

NFL Christmas Day Tripleheader

For the second consecutive year, Netflix will stream an NFL doubleheader on Christmas.

In the first game, the Dallas Cowboys travel to the DMV to play their NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and will stream live globally on Netflix.

CBS Sports announcers Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson, and Matt Ryan will be on the call. The sideline reporters will be Sara Walsh and Melanie Collins.

The second game of the day will feature the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET on Netflix.

Noah Eagle will handle play-by-play, with Drew Brees as the analyst. AJ Ross and Dianna Russini will serve as the sideline reporters.

Because it’s a Thursday, Prime Video will have a Thursday night game to end the day.

The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs will renew their rivalry on Christmas night at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Depending on what happens these next two weeks, the Broncos could be playing for the AFC West or the No. 1 seed. As crazy as it sounds, the Chiefs could be out of playoff contention.

Week 17 Saturday Doubleheader

Two days after Christmas, the NFL will have a Saturday doubleheader.

In the first game, the Houston Texans will travel west to play the Los Angeles Chargers at 4:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

Currently, the Texans and Chargers are occupying playoff spots in the AFC, so this game should have massive implications for playoff seeding.

Later that night, the Baltimore Ravens head to the “Frozen Tundra” to play the Green Bay Packers. This game will stream on Peacock at 8 p.m. ET.

The Ravens are on life support after falling to the Steelers, moving to 6-7. The Ravens must keep pace with the Steelers if they want to stay in the hunt for the AFC North.

Meanwhile, the Packers picked up a crucial win over the Bears to move into first place in the NFC North. The Packers, Bears, and Lions are all jockeying for playoff positions, so expect that race to come down to the wire.
