It's the most wonderful time of the year! Boxing Day means leftovers, it means remaining horizontal, it means football—and lots of it.
This year's slate looks a little different to those gone by. There's only one Premier League match on the schedule for the 26th December due to a quirk of the calendar.
However, every single Championship, League One and League Two team will be shown live on Boxing Day, enabled due to the new TV deal struck with Sky at the start of last season.
Yes, that's correct: 36 live matches of EFL goodness to choose from in one day.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of Boxing Day fixtures across the leagues.
