Noah Eagle is expected to be the play-by-play broadcaster on Netflix’s NFL telecast when the 49ers face the Rams in Australia, sources told Front Office Sports. 

Netflix declined to comment.

Eagle and his father, Ian, have each called one game apiece on Netflix’s NFL Christmas doubleheader the last two seasons. 

It is not yet known who the color commentator will be for the game, which takes place on Thurs., Sept. 10, the night after NBC airs the Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl rematch to kick off the 2026 NFL regular season.

Netflix will have five games this season. In addition to 49ers-Rams in Australia, it will also have Packers-Rams on Thanksgiving Eve, Bears-Packers and Broncos-Bills on Christmas, and a to-be-determined game on Saturday of Week 18. 

NBC is producing the NFL slate for Netflix this season; CBS had produced it in the past.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
