Update:

This year’s Christmas Day NFL schedule has three exciting matchups, guaranteed to bring some festive cheer to your celebrations.

For the sixth consecutive season, there will be live NFL regular season games played on December 25 in what is becoming a real tradition. This year’s schedule brings Cowboys - Commanders (1pm ET), Lions - Vikings (4:30pm ET) and Broncos - Chiefs (8:15pm ET). Of course, alongside the sporting action there will also be performances from big stars.

The first game of the day will be the Dallas Cowboys’ trip to the Washington Commanders, the first time that the Commanders will have played on Christmas Day.

The action will begin with a pre-game performance from Kelly Clarkson, a big start to the NFL’s slate of festive broadcasts. At time of writing, there is no halftime performer announced for the Cowboys - Commanders game. However the Netflix listing for the game does promise a “live halftime spectacle” so make sure you stick around for the entertainment.

Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg will be at the center of the halftime action for the Lions - Vikings matchup, headlining Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party. Also taking part in the show will be artists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, best-known for providing vocals for the ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ movie.

Finally, the Broncos - Chiefs game will feature a special holiday performance by the Kansas City Symphony, ranked one of the best 25 orchestras in the United States.
