If the weather outside is frightful, why not stay inside and watch the biggest holiday events that the sports world has to offer?
The Christmas Eve slate is light this year with only one college football game on the schedule: the Hawaii Bowl matchup between South Florida and San Jose State.
Christmas Day will feature non-stop action with five NBA games airing on national TV channels and two NFL games streaming exclusively on Netflix. College basketball’s Diamond Head Classic will conclude on Christmas Day as well.
Here is everything you need to know about watching sporting events on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, including TV and streaming options for games.
