Manchester City travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League, Arsenal take on Crystal Palace and Tottenham host Liverpool among the games live on Sky Sports.

EFL teams are also in action across the channels right up until the 23rd December when the break begins – but we're back with an avalanche of football after the big day.

A grand total of 88 of the 92 teams in the top four divisions of English football will play live on TV this Boxing Day, with the remaining four in action on the 27th.

Sky Sports boast the lion's share of football TV rights in 2024/25, including a huge number of Premier League and FA Women's Super League games, as well as a new deal that will broadcast over 1,000 English Football League and Carabao Cup matches over the course of the season.

TNT Sports – formerly BT Sport – will show Premier League, Champions League, Europa League and Conference League action throughout next season, with all of the action available with a discovery+ Premium Monthly Pass.
