The NFL has not traditionally played games on Christmas Day, but there have been a few exceptions. The most recent Christmas Day game was in 2021, when the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals played. However, this was not a regular season game, but rather a special "NFL International Series" game that was played in London, England. Other than that, the NFL has generally avoided scheduling games on December 25th, preferring to give players and fans a break from the weekly grind of the season.
