Aug 9 (Reuters) - Paramount Global ( PARAA ) owned CBS

Sports will produce the two National Football League (NFL) games

set to be aired on Netflix ( NFLX ) on Christmas Day this year,

the video streaming platform said on Friday.

CBS has the broadcast rights for over-the-air television in

the competing-team cities while NFL+, league's live streaming

service, will show the games on mobile devices in the United

States.

In May this year, the company had announced it will stream

at least one game on Christmas Day in 2025 and 2026, as part of

its exclusive three-season agreement with NFL.

The NFL deal marks the first time Netflix ( NFLX ) has licensed the

rights to one of the world's biggest sports leagues and also the

first live football streaming on the platform.

NFL is the most-watched sports league in the U.S., with this

year's Super Bowl game between Kansas City Chiefs and the San

Francisco 49ers having drawn a record 123.7 million U.S.

viewers.
