Noah Eagle is anticipated to serve as the play-by-play announcer for Netflix's NFL broadcast of the San Francisco 49ers versus Los Angeles Rams game in Australia on September 10, 2026. This event comes the day after NBC airs the Patriots-Seahawks rematch to launch the 2026 NFL season. Eagle has previous experience with Netflix broadcasts, having called games in the streamer’s NFL Christmas Day lineup, following in the footsteps of both himself and his father Ian Eagle.

Netflix is expanding its NFL coverage this season, securing rights to five games, including notable matchups such as the Packers-Rams on Thanksgiving Eve, Bears-Packers and Broncos-Bills over Christmas, and a yet-to-be-announced game during Week 18. NBC has assumed production responsibilities this year, succeeding CBS, which handled the NFL telecasts for Netflix in previous seasons.

The pairing of Eagle with a color commentator for the Australia game has not yet been finalized or announced. With Netflix continuing to invest in NFL content, the addition of the Australia fixture underscores the streaming platform’s aim to broaden its footprint in live sports broadcasting, particularly with international events.

This move highlights Netflix’s growing commitment to NFL coverage as it diversifies its sports portfolio beyond the traditional U.S. market. By leveraging established broadcast talent like Noah Eagle and partnering with major producers like NBC, Netflix is positioning itself as a significant player in streaming NFL regular season games in 2026.
