TL;DR Summary
Netflix is reportedly close to a five-game NFL package for next season, including the two Christmas games already under contract plus a Week 1 Australia game and a Thanksgiving Eve game; a Week 18 Saturday game is also in play. YouTube’s planned five-game package remains uncertain, with reports that the two games it was set to receive are being shopped to traditional broadcasters, raising the possibility that YouTube winds up with nothing as the NFL shifts sales to CBS, NBC, ESPN and Fox. The situation remains fluid ahead of the 2026 schedule release.
