EverPass expands Netflix deal to distribute full NFL slate to bars, restaurants

EverPass has expanded its partnership with Netflix through a multi-year agreement that will make Netflix’s full slate of NFL programming available to commercial establishments across the United States.

The deal builds on an existing relationship between the companies that has brought Netflix’s NFL Christmas Day games and select live boxing events to bars and restaurants.

Beginning with the 2026 NFL season, EverPass will distribute all of Netflix’s NFL games and events to commercial venues. The schedule includes the league’s Week 1 game in Melbourne, the NFL’s first Thanksgiving Eve matchup, two Christmas Day games, a Week 18 contest and NFL Honors during Super Bowl week.

Netflix’s 2026 NFL schedule includes:

• Sept. 10, 2026: San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne
• Nov. 25, 2026: Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Rams
• Dec. 25, 2026: Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
• Dec. 25, 2026: Buffalo Bills vs. Denver Broncos
• Jan. 9, 2027: Week 18 game, matchup to be announced
• 2027 NFL Honors: Date to be announced

“Netflix continues to bring some of the NFL’s biggest moments to fans, and we’re excited to expand our partnership to make those events available to commercial businesses across the U.S.,” EverPass Media CEO Alex Kaplan said in a statement.

Kaplan said the agreement reflects the continuing shift of premium live sports toward digital platforms and gives bars, restaurants and other businesses an authorized way to offer streaming-exclusive events to customers.

Under a separate multi-year agreement, DirecTV for Business will market, sell and distribute the Netflix NFL package, along with other sports programming available through EverPass, to commercial customers.

The expanded Netflix partnership comes days after DAZN announced plans to acquire EverPass. The Aug. 26 deal would combine EverPass’ U.S. commercial sports distribution business with DAZN’s global sports platform, content portfolio and distribution technology.
