Netflix will bring football fans Down Under when it broadcasts the first ever NFL game from Australia in September, The Athletic reported Thursday.
The Los Angeles Rams are set to be the home team in a game against the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, Sept. 10.
The game is set to kick off at 8:35 p.m. ET, which will be Friday morning Melbourne time.
Multiple outlets have also indicated that Netflix will have rights for a game that will take place on the evening before Thanksgiving Day.
Those two games are in addition to two Christmas Day games that will be broadcast on Netflix. The Wall Street Journal reported in March that the television streaming service was in negotiations for an international game and a Thanksgiving-week game in addition to two Christmas games.
The Australia game will require a Netflix subscription to watch outside of the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets. For those two markets, an over-the-air TV option will be available.
