The NFL will be playing three games on Christmas in 2025, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said “that’s the plan for every year in the future as well.” Goodell during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday said that the league “plans to keep the three-game schedule in place regardless of when Christmas falls in the week.” Goodell added that the league likely will “continue to rotate” the teams that play that day. The league scheduled a pair of games when Christmas fell on Wednesday in 2024. NFL VP/Broadcast Planning & Scheduling Mike North had previously said that the league “might stick with two games on a Tuesday or Wednesday” (PROFOOTBALLTALK, 4/25).
