Daily Mirror

Just one Premier League game will be played on Boxing Day due to constraints with European competition this season

While there is only one Premier League fixture available on Boxing Day, there are plenty of other games to tune into this festive season. The top-flight league has been restricted due to European competition expanding across this season, resulting in more Premier League games being played on Saturdays and Sundays.

Only Manchester United and Newcastle will take to the football pitch on December 26. The Red Devils will host Newcastle at Old Trafford with an 8pm kick off.

However, there are over 60 other games taking place across the country and abroad on Boxing Day, ranging from the Championship to the Northern Irish Premiership.
