Netflix announced on Wednesday that they will be broadcasting two games on Christmas Day this year, as well as at least one game on the holiday for the next two years.
The Christmas Day games did not have any matchups announced before the complete schedule for 2024 was released on Wednesday night. However, the four teams participating this year will have the unique opportunity to play regular-season games on a Wednesday, which is quite uncommon.
