The Premier League have released the latest fixture amendments and matches selected for live UK TV broadcast from 26th December to 8th January, 2026.
The announcement confirms that Newcastle’s trip to Man Utd will be the only Boxing Day fixture this year, kicking off at 8pm and shown live on Sky Sports from Old Trafford.
This sees the match brought forward, moving from Saturday 27th December (3pm) to Friday 26th (8pm), meaning a manic day for Newcastle United fans who have been let down here once again by poor planning and a real lack of consideration.
Elsewhere, our trip to Burnley on 30th December will now kick off at 7.30pm, not 8pm, with Sky Sports also set to screen the game at Turf Moor.
The final change, for now, sees our home clash with Crystal Palace moved from Saturday 3rd January to Sunday 4th January, with the game at St James’ Park due to be shown on Sky Sports at 3pm.
