NFL Christmas Eve and Day Games

Christmas Day and Christmas Eve games in the National Football League are an occasional part of the league's schedule. As of 2021, there have been 24 Christmas Day games in the NFL's history. The first game on Christmas was in 1971 when the Dallas Cowboys faced off against the Minnesota Vikings and won 20-12. After the NFL held two Divisional Playoff games on Christmas Day in 1971, the league avoided any more games on Christmas Day until 1989. Since then, the NFL has held occasional games on Christmas Day in some years, as part of week 16 or 17 of the regular season. Two games were played each Christmas Day from 2004 to 2006 and then from 2016 to 2017.

The NFL has generally scheduled games on Christmas Day, December 25, only if it falls on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. If Christmas falls on a Sunday, the normal Sunday afternoon slate of games are moved to Saturday (Christmas Eve), with up to three games scheduled for Christmas Day. In rare cases when a game must be played on the evening of Christmas Eve, the game is typically hosted by a west coast team such that the game takes place in the late afternoon locally. Likewise, games played in the late afternoon on Christmas Day have usually been located either in the Eastern or Central Time Zones so that they would not start prior to 3:30 p.m. local time.
