A former NFL player will be joining Netflix as a lead analyst for the 2026 season. Luke Kuechly, a great from the Carolina Panthers, will enter this new role after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kuechly will team up with NBC's Noah Eagle for a game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

This game is one of five NFL games that Netflix will be covering this season, with Kuechly working on four of them. Further details about Kuechly's new role and Netflix's NFL coverage are available from The Athletic, which initially reported the news.
