What football is on TV on Boxing Day? The ultimate guide to ensure you don't miss a moment of festive action

Boxing Day football is as much of a tradition as sprouts, stockings and Santa.

And fans this year can enjoy a packed day of almost wall-to-wall games as you begin to tuck into those turkey sandwich leftovers for the first time. There's a full fixture card in the Scottish Premiership with an Edinburgh derby to look forward to as both Hearts and Hibs look to pull clear of the drop - and force their rivals deeper into relegation danger. Fans can also watch Rangers take on St Mirren or choose from a whopping five 3pm kick-offs in the English Premier League.

If the English Football League is more your thing, then almost every single club is scheduled to be in action - and all on TV - whilst the more adventurous fan could even enjoy matches from the Welsh or Indian top flights if they were keen to find something different to keep them entertained. Feeling overwhelmed? Fear not, Record Sport has compiled a list to help you navigate the options - and work out how best to spend December 26.

Fans can start their Boxing Day by watching Manchester City against Everton on Amazon Prime if Premier League football is their thing. Or they can choose the more sensible option and pick a blood and thunder Edinburgh derby to test just how quickly the season of goodwill ends as Hearts welcome Hibs to Tynecastle. There are a few more left-field early options too from both the Indian and Welsh top flights.

Okay, this is where the choice becomes a bit overwhelming - with more than 50 3pm kick-offs available to stream or watch from the top six (yes, six!) divisions of English football. Every match from the EFL Championship, League One and League Two is available on Sky Sports +. That includes Ben Doak's Middlesbrough against Sheffield
