Beyoncé is no stranger to NFL halftime shows and once again she will be gracing the stage in the middle of all the action. Her last two halftime performances were during the Super Bowl, but this time she will be performing on Christmas Day.

💭 Jay's thought bubble: With the Texans abuzz in the NFL and, almost more importantly, the prospect of witnessing a one-of-a-kind Beyoncé set for the cost of a subscription, Netflix's success Wednesday is paramount to appeasing Houstonians near and far.

Netflix will have one of its biggest days since the site launched in 1998 when it carries two NFL games for the first time on Christmas.

Beyoncé will be on the field at NRG Stadium in Houston to perform in her hometown. Netflix will air Beyoncé's full show live on its streaming platform. There are two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day in 2024, with both airing on Netflix.

Netflix is turning its Christmas Day NFL football games into a pop culture moment, with a Mariah Carey opening and a halftime Beyoncé performance in Houston. The global streaming giant tapped comedian Bert Kreischer as its tailgate correspondent: He'll be in Pittsburgh for the game between the Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs.

Over the past few years NFL Christmas Day games have seen a significant increase in viewership and the peak was the Raiders-Chiefs game that drew 29.49 million viewers and dubbed as the most-watched Christmas games since 1989. And the last three NFL Christmas Day games averaged 28.68 million viewers, which was a 30% increase from the previous year.

This Christmas will mark just the third and fourth Wednesday NFL games played since 1948. The most recent was in 2020 as COVID-19 delayed a game between the Ravens and Steelers so much that they had to play on a Wednesday.
