Boxing Day: the most wonderful day of the year. Christmas time is great, Christmas Day is fantastic, but let's face it; nothing can ever compare to Boxing Day.

The rituals of the 25th have subsided and calm descends on households across the land. There's nothing to do other than pick the bones – quite literally – out of yesterday's turkey while sitting in a fresh nest constructed of discarded wrapping paper.

And then there's the football. The sweet, beautiful game. From late morning to night, there will be football on TV and, really, does it get any better than that?

Amazon Prime Video boast the monopoly on Premier League action this Boxing Day, but football extends beyond the top flight, you know?

The Championship is more delicately poised than ever, League One and Two continue to sizzle away without a winter World Cup break, and there are plenty more games around the world to savour.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of Boxing Day fixtures across the leagues.
