For the second straight year, the NFL is turning to Netflix to help broadcast their now annual slate of Christmas Day games. As the league celebrates the holiday, Netflix will be airing the first two of the NFL’s three Christmas Day Games.

Netflix will broadcast a game between the Cowboys at the Commanders at 1 p.m. ET followed by a matchup between the Lions at the Vikings at 4:30 p.m. ET. The holiday will conclude with the NFL’s final game—Broncos at Chiefs—taking place at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime.

As the holiday season approaches, here’s a look at the broadcast teams for the two Netflix games.

Netflix Announcers for NFL on Christmas

Game	Time (ET)	Play-By-Play	Analyst(s)	Sideline Reporter(s)	Rules Analyst
Cowboys-Commanders	1 p.m.	Ian Eagle	Nate Burleson, Matt Ryan	Sara Walsh, Melanie Collins	Gene Steratore
Lions-Vikings	4:30 p.m.	Noah Eagle	Drew Brees	AJ Ross, Dianna Russini	Gene Steratore

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.

Meanwhile, Noah will team up with Drew Brees, who has recently returned to broadcasting with Fox Sports. Brees also was part of Netflix’s broadcast crew last year, but will work as a game analyst this time. CBS Sports’ AJ Ross and The Athletic’s Dianna Russini will both work the sidelines on Christmas Day for Netflix for the first time. Rules analyst Gene Steratore returns for both games.
