Here’s how many people tuned into Netflix’s Christmas Day NFL games

About 24 million for each game, according to Nielsen.

Netflix says it had a big audience for its live NFL games on Christmas Day, with Nielsen ratings designating them “the most-streamed NFL games in US history.” The Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers notched a 24.1M AMA (average minute audience), while the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens hit 24.3M AMA, totaling nearly 65 million total viewers. Though Netflix buckled under the weight of the more than 60 million households that tuned into the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul last month, its systems mostly held up during the two NFL games and star-studded performances from Mariah Carey and Beyoncé. Netflix has also confirmed it will add a standalone replay of the “ Beyoncé Bowl ” halftime performance to the service later this week after it registered 27 million live viewers — the game’s peak viewership.
