NFL Christmas Day Games History
The NFL first played on Christmas Day back in 1971 with the Cowboys vs. the Vikings. But, unlike the league’s Thanksgiving tradition, Christmas Day games are not an annual occurrence since Christmas doesn’t always happen on the same day of the week. Because of this, there have been just 24 Christmas Day NFL games to date, making this year’s tripleheader all the more special.
Be sure to sign up for one of the above streaming services if you want to watch Christmas Day NFL games online today.
