Premier League Festive Fixtures Confirmed for 2026/27

The Premier League’s festive schedule is beginning to take shape, with Boxing Day football returning in force for the 2026/27 season and a packed run of fixtures taking clubs through Christmas and into the New Year.

After just one Premier League match was played on Boxing Day last season, seven games are scheduled for Saturday 26^th December this time around, with the remaining three matches in the round taking place the following day. Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are both at home on Boxing Day, while Liverpool travel to Hull City and Arsenal face Crystal Palace in London.

Enjoy Premier League Hospitality all year round

The festive period is one of the most popular times of the season to attend Premier League football, and Eventmasters offers official hospitality at a number of the biggest fixtures involving Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

From Boxing Day football at Villa Park and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to New Year matches at the Emirates Stadium and Anfield, supporters can watch some of the busiest weeks of the campaign with premium seating and hospitality. With demand traditionally high around Christmas and New Year, securing places early is recommended.

Aston Villa Host Leeds on Boxing Day

Villa Park will stage one of the first major fixtures of the festive programme when Aston Villa welcome Leeds United on Boxing Day.

Villa then remain at home for another eye-catching contest just four days later, with Liverpool heading to Villa Park on Wednesday 30 December. That gives supporters two opportunities to enjoy Premier League hospitality in Birmingham between Christmas and New Year.

Aston Villa’s festive Premier League run is currently scheduled as:

• 26 December: Aston Villa v Leeds United
• 30 December: Aston Villa v Liverpool
• 2 January: AFC Bournemouth v Aston Villa
• 6 January: Everton v Aston Villa

The Liverpool fixture in particular provides a major end-of-year occasion at Villa Park as Villa look to carry their domestic and European ambitions into 2027.

Tottenham Get Back-to-Back Home Festive Fixtures

Tottenham Hotspur also have the benefit of spending Christmas at home, with Bournemouth visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Boxing Day.

Brighton & Hove Albion then make the trip to North London on Wednesday 30 December, giving Spurs two consecutive home matches before the turn of the year. Tottenham then begin 2027 with away trips to Manchester City and Fulham.

Tottenham’s festive schedule is:

• 26 December: Tottenham Hotspur v Bournemouth
• 30 December: Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion
• 2 January: Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur
• 6 January: Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur

For supporters looking to make football part of their Christmas plans, the two home fixtures offer very different tests and two opportunities to experience matchday hospitality at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Arsenal Start 2027 With Two Games at the Emirates

Arsenal will spend Boxing Day away from home, travelling across London to face Crystal Palace before another capital fixture against Fulham on Wednesday 30 December.

The defending Premier League champions then return to the Emirates Stadium for two successive home matches at the beginning of 2027. Ipswich Town visit on Saturday 2 January before Brentford make the short journey across London on Wednesday 6 January.

Arsenal’s festive run is:

• 27 December: Crystal Palace v Arsenal
• 30 December: Fulham v Arsenal
• 2 January: Arsenal v Ipswich Town
• 6 January: Arsenal v Brentford

Those two home games provide the chance to begin 2027 at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal hospitality, including the Cannon Club experience available through Eventmasters.

Liverpool Return to Anfield for the New Year

Liverpool face a predominantly away-based Christmas programme, starting with a Boxing Day visit to Hull City before travelling to Aston Villa four days later.

Their first Premier League match of 2027 then brings Coventry City to Anfield on Saturday 2 January. Liverpool follow that with another away fixture against Sunderland on Wednesday 6 January.

Liverpool’s festive fixtures are:

• 26 December: Hull City v Liverpool
• 30 December: Aston Villa v Liverpool
• 2 January: Liverpool v Coventry City
• 6 January: Sunderland v Liverpool

The Coventry fixture therefore provides Liverpool supporters with their first chance of the calendar year to watch the Reds at Anfield, with hospitality available through Eventmasters for Liverpool home matches.

Boxing Day Football Returns

The fuller Boxing Day schedule marks a return towards one of English football’s longest-standing festive traditions.

Seven Premier League matches are set to take place on 26 December, including Aston Villa v Leeds, Tottenham v Bournemouth, Hull v Liverpool and Newcastle United v Manchester City. Arsenal’s trip to Crystal Palace is among the matches moved into Sunday 27 December.

The Premier League has also built its Christmas and New Year calendar so that no two match rounds take place within 60 hours of each other, part of efforts to manage an increasingly congested domestic and European calendar.

With fixtures on Boxing Day, 30 December, 2 January and 6 January, there will still be little shortage of Premier League football across the festive period.
