Nuked Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s Nuked here, and I’ve got some exciting news about Netflix’s holiday lineup that’s sure to light up your screens. So grab your popcorn, and let’s dive in!
Netflix has reported a huge turnout for its live NFL games on Christmas Day, capturing the title of “most-streamed NFL games in US history,” according to Nielsen ratings. The Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers game drew an impressive average minute audience (AMA) of 24.1 million, while the matchup between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens saw even higher numbers at 24.3 million. In total, nearly 65 million viewers tuned in to catch all the action!
While Netflix faced some challenges last month with over 60 million households watching the boxing showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, it seems the streaming platform managed to handle the pressure during these NFL games. Plus, fans were treated to dazzling performances from none other than Mariah Carey and Beyoncé!
In a special treat for viewers, Netflix announced it will soon add a standalone replay of the “Beyoncé Bowl” halftime show. This electrifying performance attracted 27 million live viewers, marking it as the peak viewership for the game. Talk about a star-studded affair!
Looking ahead, NFL games will remain a part of Netflix’s offerings for at least the next two years due to a broadcast deal with the league. This means even more thrilling football action for fans to enjoy!
Meanwhile, the NBA also had a strong showing this Christmas despite competing with Netflix’s broadcasts. They reported their most-watched Christmas Day in five years, averaging 5.25 million viewers per game across five exciting matchups—an impressive 84 percent increase in viewership from last year.
On Wednesday, the NFL teased some preliminary viewership stats, revealing that the Chiefs vs. Steelers game has already become the second most popular live title on Netflix. Interestingly, one-third of all Netflix viewers at that moment were glued to that particular game!
So there you have it! A thrilling holiday season on Netflix that combined sports and entertainment in a way that kept fans cheering! Until next time, keep streaming and stay techy!
