The NFL announced it will play two more games on Christmas 2024 — even though the holiday falls on a Wednesday this year.
Wednesday football is coming to the NFL next season. The NFL will play two more Christmas Day games in 2024, the league announced, despite the holiday falling on a Wednesday this year. Matchups and broadcast details for the games have yet to be determined. The four teams featured in the games will play the previous Saturday in order to have recovery time comparable to a short-week post-Sunday turnaround for the league's weekly Thursday night games.
The middle window of those games, an NFC East matchup between the division rivals Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants, averaged just over 29 million viewers on FOX. It was the network's most-watched Christmas Day programming of any kind. The NFL, though, has rarely played Wednesday games, though several exceptions were made during the 2020 and 2021 seasons as the COVID-19 pandemic forced schedule-makers to adjust amid outbreaks of the virus.
