Boxing Day Matches, Tickets and Schedule 2022/2023: English Premier League

The day following Christmas Day in the UK is named ‘Boxing Day’ and traditionally there is a full fixture list in the English Premier League. The day is 26th December 2022.  Whilst many fans will still be in holiday mood from the day before, this is one of the most watched days of football in the season. The race for the title is fully underway and teams at this stage will be looking to accumulate as many points as possible. 

In last season’s boxing day matches, Liverpool FC, Manchester United, Leicester City, and Tottenham Hotspurs all dropped points in these fixtures. Even Chelsea were handed one of their only defeat by London rivals Arsenal.

It is well-known that the Premier League fixture list around Christmas and New Years is extremely packed with many teams playing 3 /4 games within a 10 day period. If you are looking to attend a Premier League game on Boxing Day, here is the complete list:
