Every game taking place on Christmas Day with 26 leagues still in action

mirror.co.uk, 25 December 2022, 06:00
Christmas Day features fixtures in 26 leagues across 22 countries with former England star Dele Alli amongst those in action in the Turkish top flight as Brits wait for their Boxing Day football fix Dele Alli's Besiktas will be in action on Christmas Day

Can't wait until Boxing Day to find some football to follow? Well there are still some games taking place on Christmas Day!

The holiday means that games do not take place across the majority of major leagues - but 22 countries still host football on Christmas Day itself. The Turkish Super Lig, for instance, is the most high-profile with four games in the top flight including Dele Alli's Besiktas.

There are also games in the Middle East with the UAE Pro League, Saudi Professional League and Egyptian Premier League amongst those having a host of games. There's also action in leagues across Africa and women's football in the Japanese top tier.

Here's a run-down of all 80 fixtures taking place on Christmas Day - but unfortunately none are being shown on television in the UK.
