Football Schedule Christmas Eve: What NFL & CFB Games Are on TV Today?

Today is Christmas Eve. Fans wondering if there are NFL or CFB games will be relieved. But there are no NFL games on Christmas Eve and just one college bowl. The Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl pits the California Golden Bears (7-5) against Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (8-4) at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu. Kickoff is 8 p.m. ET (3 p.m. HT), televised on ESPN (Spanish on ESPN Deportes) and on ESPN Radio. It’s the only game on Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Several bowls already finished this week. The Washington State Cougars beat the Utah State Aggies 34-21 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The Louisville Cardinals edged the Toledo Rockets 27-22 in the Boca Raton Bowl. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers downed the Southern Miss Golden Eagles 27-16 in the New Orleans Bowl. The Ohio Bobcats beat the UNLV Rebels 17-10 in the Frisco Bowl.

No NFL games tonight, but Christmas Day brings three streamed matchups. The Washington Commanders take on the Dallas Cowboys (1 p.m. ET), the Detroit Lions go head to head with the Minnesota Vikings (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Kansas City Chiefs will be against Denver Broncos (8:15 p.m. ET).
