The NFL released its 2025 schedule on May 14, and there were plenty of quirks to tackle on this year's slate. The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills dominate the marquee matchups, while the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles play on nearly every day of the week.

The Detroit Lions will be busy this year on the holidays, playing the Vikings on Christmas Day on Netflix in addition to the annual Thanksgiving game.

Ahead of the NFL's full 2025 schedule release Wednesday night, Netflix announced its Christmas Day slate of games.

The Minnesota Vikings will be playing a Christmas Day game on their home turf for the third time in franchise history.

The Cowboys/Commanders game will air 1 p.m. ET on Christmas Day, while the Lions/Vikings will face off at 4:30 p.m. ET. CBS Sports will produce the game coverage with NFL Media producing pregame, postgame and studio halftime programming.

The NFL released its complete 2025 schedule on Wednesday, and while there are literally dozens of exciting matchups on the slate, the holiday schedule is particularly intriguing.

Detroit has played twice previously on Christmas Day and is 0-2, with losses in 1994 and 1999. The rumored game against the Vikings would be part of a Christmas tripleheader streamed live on Netflix. One other game has been announced for that day, a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos.

According to Fox insider Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions are scheduled to play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 1.
