The NFL is coming for the NBA's Christmas Day. They don't care about the other leagues. I'm very intrigued about how the NBA will react.

Would love to see the NBA schedule games on Thanksgiving. This NFL vs NBA rivalry is great for the fans. NFL seems like it's lightyears ahead, but the NBA isn't too far behind in the young demos.

The NBA might be in trouble in a couple of years without LeBron and Curry if the NFL keeps pushing them out of Christmas so it will be very intresting how they will answer.

NFL planning unprecedented Thanksgiving-style tripleheader for Christmas next season - Yahoo Sports

Bad news for the NBA.

And in 2023, Christmas is on a Monday. Could be double header then.

Well, I guess that means no midday Die Hard when there’s football on for our household going forward.

The NFL has done Christmas games before but those were always prime-time games. Think they did one last season (Saints vs Vikings I believe?) and another one 5 years ago when Christmas fell on a Sunday (Chiefs-Broncos?)

This is, different and the NBA I'm sure isn't happy but they'll live.

Why would they, they'll get blown out.

This is great, Christmas Day has always been super boring. The NBA is unwatchable until the playoffs.

Both NHL and NBA used to have Thanksgiving games at night after the traditional Lions and Cowboys games for years. But once NFL decided to add a 3rd game at night that’s when both leagues decided against having games

Not going to happen unless the laws are changed. The NFL is legally prohibited from playing on Friday and Saturdays until the third week of December. That is why Thursday Night Football exists to begin with.

Although maybe the it isn’t considered “broadcasting” under the law for blackouts because it is streaming.

Cause Xmas is on Sunday. Getting most of the games played on the 24th Saturday.

When the game is on Monday next year it might be a double header but once it lands on a Tues & Wed no games.

The blackout only applies to Friday evenings.

The Xmas night game this year should be Rams-Chargers
