Demand: Seeking a status as regular Christmas Day event for the Chiefs
The National Football League (NFL) has finalised the schedule for its Christmas Day games in 2025, and among the lineup is a highly anticipated matchup featuring the Kansas City Chiefs. On Thursday, December 25, 2025, at 8:20 PM ET, the Chiefs will square off against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.
This prime-time game marks the Chiefs' inclusion in the 2025 NFL Christmas Day lineup. Although further details about additional Christmas Day games are yet to be disclosed, this key matchup has been officially scheduled. The full 2025 NFL schedule also indicates various other matchups throughout December, with the Chiefs' game against the Texans standing out as the prime Christmas game for them.
Beyond their Christmas Day game, the Chiefs' participation in other events, such as a potential matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, remains uncertain. This prospective game is a separate event from their scheduled Christmas Day games. The Chiefs have expressed a desire to be a permanent fixture in the NFL's Christmas Day lineup and aim to emulate the tradition of the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
In recent years, the Chiefs have demonstrated a knack for drawing significant viewership for their Christmas games. Their 2023 and 2024 Christmas games, for instance, attracted 24.1 million viewers across Netflix and local CBS stations. The potential game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, could offer another opportunity for international exposure, should it materialise.
It's worth noting that the Chiefs are being considered for an international game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which is scheduled for September 5, 2025. If selected, this would mark another international appearance for the Chiefs. However, this game is not part of the NFL's Christmas Day lineup.
The 2025 Christmas games will be broadcast on both Netflix and Amazon Prime, ensuring that football fans worldwide can enjoy the festive season action. The NFL has confirmed that three games will be played on Christmas Day in 2025, with two of them airing on Netflix, and the nightcap on Amazon Prime.
