Drew Brees Returns for Netflix's 2025 NFL Broadcast

Drew Brees, former New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl champion, will return to NFL broadcasting as a game analyst for one of Netflix's exclusive Christmas Day games in the 2025 season, covering either Cowboys-Commanders or Lions-Vikings. This marks Brees' first major U.S. broadcast booth appearance since his one-season stint with NBC in 2021, which received mixed reviews. Brees previously worked on Netflix’s international NFL broadcast. The Christmas Day games will be produced by CBS, with Nate Burleson returning as analyst and Matt Ryan being considered for the booth. Rival networks are reportedly less willing to lend their top talent to Netflix amid increased competition among streaming platforms. Brees’s return underscores Netflix’s commitment to expanding its live sports offerings.
