WASHINGTON — As part of its ongoing holiday tradition, the NFL is set to entertain viewers this Christmas Thursday with a trio of games streamed across popular platforms. Fans can enjoy these matches while engaging in holiday festivities, such as opening presents and gathering with loved ones.

Here’s a guide to the NFL festivities on Christmas Day.

The Cowboys enter the match with a faint hope of making the playoffs, whereas the Commanders are already out of contention, having failed to replicate last season’s success when they reached the NFC Championship Game.

Dallas enters the game with slim playoff potential, while the Commanders are already eliminated after falling short of expectations following last season’s NFC Championship Game appearance.

The middle game of the day kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET, also on Netflix, as the Detroit Lions visit the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. A year ago, this matchup carried major playoff stakes. This time around, Minnesota is officially out of contention, while Detroit is playing with low playoff chances. 

For this game, Netflix will feature a halftime show headlined by Snoop Dogg, with additional performances from Lainey Wilson and the singers of HUNTR/X from the hit film “Kpop Demon Hunters.”

The Christmas slate wraps up in primetime at 8:20 p.m. ET on Prime Video, with the Denver Broncos visiting the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Denver is closing in on its first AFC West title since 2015, while Kansas City’s season has unraveled following Patrick Mahomes’ season-ending ACL injury, marking a rare holiday game without playoffs in view for the Chiefs.
