The league\u2019s full 2026 holiday slate has leaked, and it\u2019s headlined by a mouth-watering Seahawks-Rams showdown on Christmas Day that doubles as a rematch of January\u2019s NFC Championship Game. For fans of both franchises and honestly, football fans everywhere this is the gift that keeps on giving.<\/p>\n

The leaked 2026 NFL Christmas schedule<\/a> reads like a primetime programmer\u2019s dream:<\/p>\n

Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24):<\/p>\n

Houston Texans<\/a> vs. Philadelphia Eagles<\/a><\/p>\n

Christmas Day (Friday, December 25):<\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers<\/a> vs. Chicago Bears<\/a><\/p>\n

Buffalo Bills<\/a> vs. Denver Broncos<\/a><\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams<\/a> vs. Seattle Seahawks<\/a><\/p>\n

The NFL has been pushing hard to make Christmas a full-blown football holiday in recent years, and the 2026 iteration looks like its most compelling yet. With Christmas falling on a Friday this year, the league is expected to spread games across a two-day window, making it one of the most content-rich holiday stretches in league history .<\/p>\n

The centerpiece is undeniably the Rams-Seahawks game, which carries enormous emotional weight heading into the regular season. Back on January 25, 2026, the <\/a>Seattle Seahawks<\/a> edged the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in a thrilling NFC Championship Game at Lumen Field, with Sam Darnold<\/a> delivering a vintage clutch performance and the Seahawks escaping on a disputed final-play ruling on Puka Nacua<\/a> that ended Los Angeles<\/a>\u2019 season. The Rams have had eight months to stew on that loss, and Christmas Day gives them their first opportunity to settle the score in front of a national audience.<\/p>\n

Both teams figure to be NFC West contenders again in 2026, and the bitter aftertaste of January\u2019s heartbreaker should ensure this matchup carries playoff-level intensity from the opening kickoff.<\/p>\n

The Bills-Broncos clash adds an AFC clash to the holiday, while Packers-Bears in Chicago, a rivalry as old as the NFL itself, gives the Christmas slate the kind of throwback tradition that perfectly bookends the marquee NFC West showdown. Eagles-Texans on Christmas Eve rounds out a slate that makes a very strong case for skipping dessert and planting yourself on the couch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seahawks-Rams NFC Championship game rematch highlights Christmas schedule appeared first on ClutchPoints.
