ET on Amazon Prime. As the holiday season approaches, here’s a look at the broadcast teams for the two Netflix games. The Netflix Christmas Day broadcasts will be a family affair once again for CBS Sports’ Ian Eagle and NBC Sports’ Noah Eagle, with the father-son duo each calling a Netflix game this year. Both Ian and Noah also called games for the NFL on Christmas last year. Ian will be joined in the booth by CBS Sports’ analysts Nate Burleson and Matt Ryan. Burleson and Ryan typically work on the CBS pregame desk, but they will get the opportunity to call a game this Christmas.

CBS Sports’ Melanie Collins will return to the sidelines on Christmas this year while NFL Network’s Sara Walsh joins the Christmas broadcast for the first time. Netflix is preparing its second annual holiday broadcast, bringing back the father-son announcing team of Ian and Noah Eagle to call the Christmas Day doubleheader. While the production is handled by CBS Sports, the streamer has assembled a unique, cross-network crew of play-by-play callers, analysts, and studio hosts, blending established voices with new talent. The two-game slate features a distinct team for each matchup, including the return of former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees to the broadcast booth for the afternoon showdown. There is a diverse roster featuring NFL legends and people who are in the booth regularly. Here's who will be calling the Christmas games on Netflix.

Netflix is set for its second year of exclusive Christmas Day NFL coverage with the familiar father-son broadcasting duo of Ian and Noah Eagle leading the play-by-play. The broadcasts, produced by CBS Sports, feature a mix of established network analysts and new voices for the two NFC matchups. For the early game, Ian Eagle is paired with analyst Nate Burleson and former NFL MVP Matt Ryan. In the afternoon, Noah Eagle will be joined by analyst and former Super Bowl champion Drew Brees. The rest of the crew features sideline reporters and rules analysts pulled from various networks. We don't know if there'll be snow, but some NFL teams will be having a cup of cheer – especially at Netflix and Amazon.

The league is gifting the streamers a tripleheader of games for Christmas, building off the doubleheader they featured in 2024. Division matchups are the theme for this year's festivities as the Washington Commanders host the Dallas Cowboys followed by the Minnesota Vikings taking on the Detroit Lions. The slate wraps up with the Denver Broncos visiting the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs. It's a trio of games that has lost some luster – and star power – over the course of the season, but that doesn't mean that Netflix and Amazon aren't bringing their "A" game. Netflix has stepped it up with a loaded lineup of talent, personalities and more for their two games of the day. With a dedicated pregame show on-site at each game, the streamer is making each game feel like a special occasion.

Amazon is set to feature its traditional "Thursday Night Football" crew for the nightcap in Kansas City. Just like the gifts under the tree, there is something for everyone on the broadcast this year. Here's a look at who will be on the call for the NFL's Christmas games in 2025.
