The 2025 NFL schedule drops on Wednesday evening, with the league announcing its full 272-game slate for the upcoming season. And the calendar is chock-full of anticipated matchups, including the Dallas Cowboys playing host to the Kansas City Chiefs in a Thanksgiving special on CBS and Paramount+.
Thanksgiving isn’t the only holiday featuring multiple marquee games, however. For the third time in NFL history, Christmas Day will also be home to a regular-season tripleheader in 2025.
The NFL has hosted at least one Christmas game annually since 2020, but the league expanded its presence on the holiday in 2024, when the Chiefs played the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens visited the Houston Texans despite Dec. 25 falling on a Wednesday.
Now we have the full schedule for this year’s Christmas matchups, all three of which are division rivalries and could help crystallize the 2025 playoff picture as they fall in Week 17. Here’s a rundown of the games, with all the details on when and where they’ll be played, plus how to tune in:

The Washington Commanders are equally as noteworthy, though, given their rapid ascent to NFC powerhouse by the end of Jayden Daniels’ magical rookie season. Now featuring Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil on their restocked offense, they might be the favorites to challenge the Philadelphia Eagles in the conference.
