Are there Premier League games on Boxing Day?
Yes. However, the 2025/26 season features only a single Boxing Day fixture due to the way the calendar falls and the league's scheduling arrangements. Manchester United will host Newcastle United in the sole match on Friday 26th December.
Most other fixtures from this round are played on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th December, making this an unusual year compared with the traditionally full Boxing Day schedule.
Premier League table at Christmas
The league table at Christmas is often regarded as a milestone that helps indicate which clubs are genuine title contenders and which sides may be facing a relegation battle. Historically, being top on Christmas Day has provided a strong advantage, although many teams have gone on to lose that lead during the second half of the campaign.
Similarly, being bottom at Christmas has often proven difficult to recover from, though there have been exceptions. The table for 2025/26 will become clear once the final pre-Christmas fixtures have been completed, giving supporters a clear view of the season’s developing storylines.
Has there ever been a Premier League game on Christmas Eve?
Yes — but it is extremely rare. Traditionally, the Premier League avoids Christmas Eve fixtures due to travel considerations and fan commitments. Christmas Eve matches have only happened on very isolated occasions in modern top-flight history.
For the 2025/26 season, no fixtures are scheduled for Christmas Eve, maintaining the long-standing convention.
