Premier League Confirms 2026 Boxing Day Fixtures

The Premier League has confirmed its festive schedule for Boxing Day, with 10 matches set to take place across December 26 and 27. The traditional Christmas period will feature several high-profile clashes, although the fixtures are spread across two days rather than being played entirely on December 26.

Saturday’s programme includes Aston Villa against Leeds United, Everton versus Sunderland and Tottenham’s meeting with Bournemouth. Liverpool travel to Hull City later in the day, while Newcastle United host Manchester City in one of the weekend’s standout fixtures.

Sunday brings three more games, with Chelsea visiting Coventry City before Manchester United take on Nottingham Forest. The round concludes with Crystal Palace facing Arsenal in a London derby that could prove important in the race for points during the busy festive period.
