We know the Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day, an afternoon kickoff. We know for the first time, Netflix will host an NFL game, awarded rights to both Dec. 25h contests. What we don’t know? How the game will be broadcast or who will be on the call.
According to CNBC, Netflix is beginning to search for a broadcasting crew and production team. And they’re running into resistance.
“Netflix has been in touch with the broadcasters that currently air NFL games, including Disney’s ESPN, Comcast’s NBCUniversal and ParamountGlobal’s CBS Sports, said the people familiar, who asked not to be named because the discussions have been private,” wrote Lillian Rizzo and Alex Sherman.
