The Premier League’s festive schedule has been confirmed after the top flight announced its TV tip-offs for December and January.

The 2024-25 season is in full swing with all Premier League teams having played seven games and are ready to return to action this weekend after the October international break.

And ahead of a hectic run of games, several top-flight fixtures have been changed in the coming months.

As with previous campaigns, all midweek games will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime from December 3rd to 5th.

Amazon Prime also has exclusive access to the 10 games of the Boxing Day game week, with the clash between Manchester City and Everton starting at 12:30pm.

However, Brighton’s game against Brentford and Ipswich’s trip to Arsenal have been postponed until Friday December 27th.

TNT Sports also has exclusive access to a midweek round of fixtures between January 14th and 16th, with Arsenal’s North London derby against Tottenham the highlight of the games.

Elsewhere, Everton’s Merseyside derby against Liverpool has been brought forward to 12.30pm on TNT Sports on Saturday December 7.

That same weekend, Tottenham’s game against Chelsea was rescheduled to Sunday December 8th at 4:30pm on Sky Sports.

Several other rivalries have also been postponed for broadcast reasons, with Manchester United v Manchester City now taking place on Sunday December 15 at 4.30pm on Sky Sports.

Strangely, however, both Chelsea v Brentford and Southampton v Tottenham are scheduled to take place on the same day at 7pm, an unprecedented kick-off time.

Many games were changed due to European commitments, such as Chelsea’s trip to Everton on Sunday 22 December, which was postponed from Saturday due to Chelsea’s participation in the UEFA Conference League.

Tottenham’s home game against Liverpool, a hugely dramatic encounter last season, takes center stage on the day’s games live on Sky Sports at 4.30pm.
