40 Premier League matches in 17 days on Stan Sport – Premier League fans, prepare for an unparalleled run of football action, with 40 games of Festive Fixtures live and exclusive, kicking off on Stan Sport from 20 December.
The action is supercharged by a huge Summer of Tennis, which gets underway with exclusive coverage of Nick Kyrgios v Arnya Sabalenka in the blockbuster Battle of Sexes exhibition match, ahead of four tournaments on home soil in the lead-up to AO 2026.
Slated across 17 action-packed days, the Premier League Festive Fixtures kick off on Saturday night (AEDT) with a massive lineup of matches, including Chelsea v Newcastle at St. James Park, followed by Tottenham v Liverpool on Sunday morning (AEDT).
The battles continue as Chelsea and Aston Villa, who are both vying for Champions League qualification, go head-to-head on 28 December (AEDT), while competition leading Arsenal take on Aston Villa on 30 December (AEDT).
This year’s Boxing Day fixture breaks tradition, with a standalone clash as Manchester United host Newcastle United on 27 December (AEDT) in a high-stakes Old Trafford showdown. The match will either offer Manchester a crucial morale boost with a win or allow Newcastle to severely damage their rivals’ season while propelling their own.
Stan Sport Football Expert Mark Bosnich said:
“Festive Fixtures is every Premier League fan’s dream: 40 matches in 17 days. At this stage of the season, every single point matters, whether it’s the Boxing Day clash between Manchester and Newcastle, or the top four rivals fighting for their Champions League dreams. It’s the ultimate make-or-break period for all clubs.”
