The Premier League has released its full slate of holiday fixtures for the current campaign, offering supporters a total of 29 live matches on Sky Sports between Boxing Day and the 7th of January. The decision to publish the schedule more than three months ahead of time was driven by a desire to give fans ample notice to organise travel and accommodation during one of the busiest periods of the year.
The league consulted with the Football Supporters' Association as well as representatives from each club's Fan Advisory Board before finalising the programme, ensuring that supporter interests were taken into account. On Boxing Day itself, the top flight will deliver seven matches.
The day kicks off with Hull City taking on Liverpool at 5:30 pm, followed later in the evening by Newcastle United versus Manchester City at 8:00 pm, both of which will be shown as a double‑header on Sky Sports. The following day, known as Super Sunday, will feature a triple‑header on the same channel. The first game begins at 2:00 pm with Coventry City, managed by former Chelsea star Frank Lampard, hosting Chelsea.
Two and a half hours later, Manchester United travel to face Nottingham Forest at 4:30 pm, and the evening concludes with Crystal Palace meeting Arsenal at 7:00 pm. In addition to the weekend fixtures, the league has scheduled two mid‑week rounds in which every match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. The first of these takes place on Tuesday, 29 December and Wednesday, 30 December, while the second set runs from Tuesday, 5 January through Thursday, 7 January. This ensures that fans who cannot attend in person still have access to every game during the festive period.
For viewers who prefer streaming, Sky Sports can be accessed flexibly via the NOW platform, allowing a personal video feed through the Sky Sports app on a range of devices. The programme also includes a selection of prime‑time fixtures on the intervening weekend. New Year’s Day will see Leeds United face Everton in the Friday Night Football slot, while Saturday Night Football on 3 January will showcase Bournemouth against Aston Villa at 5:30 pm. The following Super Sunday on 4 January features Chelsea versus Newcastle at 2:00 pm and Manchester City taking on Tottenham Hotspur at 4:30 pm.
