### Premier League Christmas fixtures: Seven games on Boxing Day

The Premier League has announced it will stage seven matches on Boxing Day this year after releasing its festive schedule. Four fixtures will be staged at 15:00 GMT, with further matches played at 12:30, 17:30 and 20:00. The fixture programme for 26 December, which falls on a Saturday in 2026, is considerably bigger than last year, when one game was held.

Three matches will be played on Sunday, 27 December, while three further rounds of games will be held over a period up to Thursday, 7 January. A round of evening midweek fixtures will be staged on 29-30 December, while Leeds will host Everton (20:00) for the only match on New Year's Day. The remainder of that round will be held over the weekend of 2-3 January, with the fourth round of games spread across the evenings of 5-7 January.

The Premier League has brought forward the announcement of fixture scheduling over the Christmas and New Year period after consultation with both broadcast partners and the Football Supporters' Association and representatives from club Fan Advisory Boards. Television scheduling for Premier League fixtures has been announced up to Monday, 2 November, with broadcast selections for the remaining games in November and December to be announced in the weeks commencing 21 September and 19 October respectively. The Premier League has guaranteed clubs at least a 60-hour break between fixtures over the festive period to address the concerns over a congested festive schedule that follows recent expansions of the European and international calendars.
