“The Netflix Slam” will air, logically, on Netflix, this Sunday March 3rd. The program is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm ET. Netflix will likely advertise it at the top of their page the day of. Afterward, it’ll likely be kept in Netflix’s library and will be available to stream.

“The Netflix Slam” is the second sporting event that Netflix will be transmiting. The first was “The Netflx Cup,” which was a live golf exhibition match. Over the past month, Netflix tested out another live program, becoming the new home of the SAG Awards. While the streamer has experienced some technical difficulties over past live programs, it seems like it has a firm grip on them. We should expect no hiccups come Nadal and Alcaraz’s match this weekend.
