Football Matches on Boxing Day 2024: Manchester City vs Everton, Chelsea vs Fulham, Liverpool vs Leicester City and Other Games To Be Played on December 26

What initially started as a day of gift giving centuries ago is now primarily focused on sporting icons enthralling the fans around the world with action on the field. Being a bank holiday in many parts of the world, there is a different buzz for the boxing day fixtures. Football being one of the most popular sports also has some interesting games lined up in the English Premier League, which has never opted for the winter break unlike the Spanish La Liga. The Italian Serie A has also avoided football on the boxing day. EPL 2024–25 Points Table Updated.
