While the 2022 World Cup did provide us with one of the greatest finals we’ll ever see and Lionel Messi completing the ultimate fairytale, it did rob Premier League lovers of the most exciting period in the calendar.
While the rest of Europe put their feet up and enjoy the festivities, the English do it a little differently. Winter breaks are for the weak, the FA have long echoed, and while the Premier League will enjoy a mini-break in January, we’re set to enjoy a proper festive schedule in 2023.
The games come thick and fast while St. Nick prepares for and recovers from his annual global voyage, with the multitude of Premier League TV broadcasters ensuring that the majority of these fixtures will be available to watch.
Here’s the TV schedule for the 2023/24 Premier League festive fixtures.

We’re going to be treated to a full round of fixtures just before Santa comes knocking with Christmas Day falling on a Monday.
The Gameweek begins with an A23 Derby at Selhurst Park between Crystal Palace and Brighton before Aston Villa host Sheffield United on Friday Night Football.
The weekend’s action kicks off with a tasty bout between West Ham and Manchester United in east London before Liverpool host Arsenal in the highlight clash of the round. Then, for the first time since 1995, the Premier League have pencilled in a Christmas Eve fixture with Chelsea visiting Wolves.
Manchester City’s participation in the Club World Cup means they’ll be absent from this round. They were scheduled to play Brentford at the Etihad just before Christmas.
