The Billboard Women in Music 2025 event is set to be a star-studded affair, celebrating the achievements and contributions of female artists in the music industry. With performances, awards, and special tributes, this event promises to be a night to remember.
In other news, Amazon’s Prime Video is gearing up for the NFL 2025 season with a special Christmas Day football game. This marks a new addition to their “Thursday Night Football” lineup, with the game falling on a Thursday in 2025. Joining them on the streaming front is Netflix, who will once again have two games on the holiday, continuing their partnership with the NFL.
While the matchups for the Christmas games have yet to be announced, fans can expect an exciting lineup of teams battling it out on the field. The NFL is set to release the 2025 schedule in mid-May, giving viewers plenty of time to plan their holiday viewing.
Netflix made waves in 2024 with their livestream of two NFL games on Christmas Day, attracting a significant audience of 24 million viewers in the U.S. The addition of a halftime show featuring Beyoncé further elevated the viewing experience, showcasing the star power and entertainment value of these special events.
Looking ahead, Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos has expressed interest in continuing to offer special events like the NFL Christmas Day games, rather than pursuing full-season sports rights. This strategy aligns with the streaming giant’s focus on providing unique and compelling content to attract and retain subscribers.
As the landscape of streaming and sports entertainment continues to evolve, partnerships between platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix with major sports leagues like the NFL are reshaping the way fans engage with their favorite teams and players. With more exciting developments on the horizon, viewers can look forward to a diverse range of programming options to suit their interests and preferences.
