Premier League Boxing Day 2026: 7 Matches, Kick-Off Times in ET

Seven Premier League matches are set for Boxing Day, Saturday, Dec. 26, 2026, and the first, Aston Villa v Leeds United, kicks off at 12:30pm UK time, which is 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), on Turner Network Television (TNT) Sports, according to the Premier League. The league’s festive fixtures list runs to Thursday, Jan. 7, 2027.

The tables below give all 40 matches in UK time (Greenwich Mean Time, GMT), ET and Pacific Time (PT), with the UK channel where the league lists one. The league’s fixture schedule release of 19 June 2026 said there would be “a fuller schedule of Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day this season”. A printable sheet is further down.

Boxing Day 2026 kick-off times

The UK is on GMT in this window, which is UTC+0, so ET is the UK time minus 5 hours and PT minus 8 hours. Those columns are worked out by Fresh Calendars from the league’s UK times; the league’s page lists no US channel. UK clocks went back on 25 October 2026 and go forward on 28 March 2027, per GOV.UK, so no festive match falls in a clock-change week. The league’s page lists no UK broadcaster for the four 3pm matches. Home club first.

Which US channel shows the festive matches?

Not yet announced. In its release of 21 July 2026, NBC Sports said that “throughout the 2026-27 season, Premier League coverage will be featured across NBC, Peacock and USA Network.” The US channel for each festive match has not been named, so the table shows only the UK broadcaster.

What time is Newcastle v Manchester City on Boxing Day?

Newcastle United host Manchester City on Saturday, Dec. 26 at 8pm UK time on Sky Sports, per the Premier League. That is 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT, the last of the day’s seven matches. Hull City v Liverpool is the one before it, at 5:30pm UK time (12:30 p.m. ET) on Sky Sports.
