The NFL on Christmas will feature a doubleheader with the Chiefs playing the Raiders at 1:00 PM on CBS and the Eagles facing the Giants at 4:30 PM EST on Fox. The Chiefs /Raiders game will have special kids-oriented “Nickmas” coverage on Nickelodeon (more on that in a minute.)
Since Christmas falls on a Monday Night, there will also be a Christmas edition of Monday Night Football where the 49ers will face the Ravens at 8:15 PM EST on ABC. Read on to learn how to watch all three games and the special NFL Nickmas coverage this Christmas.
Want a Quick Answer?
If you just want to watch the Chiefs play the Raiders with kid-friendly coverage on Nickelodeon at 1:00 PM this Christmas, then watch the game for free with this 1-week free trial to Philo. You can watch traditional coverage of that game on CBS with a 1-week free trial to Paramount+.
DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, and fubo will provide you with Fox and ABC for the Eagles vs. Giants game on Fox at 4:30 PM and the 8:15 PM Ravens vs. 49ers game on ABC. Those services also have Nickelodeon and CBS, so you can watch either version of the 1:00 PM game.
Watch The Chiefs vs. Raiders Christmas Game on Nickelodeon
- When: Monday, December 25, 2023 at 1:00 PM ET
- Matchup: Chiefs vs. Raiders
- Networks: CBS and Nickelodeon
This game will have a special “Nickmas” broadcast that will see the Ninja Turtles joining Nate Burleson and Noah Eagle as they provide commentary in an augmented reality environment complete with virtual snowballs, slime cannons, a cartoon yeti, and Santa!
The Nickmas coverage will also explain more complicated aspects of the game so kids can learn the nuances of the game. Plus, given that this is a Chiefs game, we may even get a chance to see Taylor Swift.
If you want to watch the “Nickmas” coverage of the game for free, then try this free trial to Philo. The service provides a 1-week free trial and carries Nickelodeon, so you can watch the game and Nickmas coverage live.
If you cancel before the trial ends, you won’t be charged for your first month. Otherwise, Philo will cost you $25 per month until you cancel the service. You can watch Philo on iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and more. See my review of Philo for more information.
If cartoon slime and Ninja Turtles aren’t your idea of a good time, then there will be traditional NFL game coverage on CBS, which you can watch live and for free with this 1-week free trial to Paramount+.
CBS and Nickelodeon are also available to stream live on DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, and fubo. You can read my review of these services using the links in the list below:
