This year it seems like Christmas and the Kansas City Chiefs have a real connection. First came the Chiefs-themed Hallmark holiday romance Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story (I came for the appearance from Donna Kelce, but I stayed for the cameo from a kitten named Catrick Mahomes) and this week, Santa is delivering a Christmas Day NFL game between the AFC West No. 1 seeded Chiefs and the AFC East’s top-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers. The NFL has teamed up with Netflix to deliver two Christmas Day games, the first of which is the Steelers vs. Chiefs kicking off at 1 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium. The second game of the day, the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans, will begin at 4:30 p.m. ET.

How to watch every NFL game this season:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
