Boxing Day is one of the favorite days of the season for fans of the English Premier League. And this year will be special for two reasons. First, it features the first Premier League games after the World Cup break. Second, the entire NBC Sports studio team will be in England. They will be announcing games and reporting from court side desks.
The Boxing Day tradition, the day after Christmas, is uniquely British. The national holiday is a time for families to spend more time together. And if you’re a soccer fan, it always means a selection of many games to choose from that are played across the entire British soccer pyramid.
For Boxing Day 2022, NBC Sports has many holiday events planned for soccer fans across the United States of America.
