The football Christmas period has become something of a tradition, especially since the Premier League era kicked off. With fixtures galore, chopping and changing league positions and a match on seemingly all the time, it has become a staple of Boxing Day and through into the early New Year. To make sure you get your festive football fix, we've made this guide to help you live stream every single Premier League game. Even all those 3pm Saturday kick-offs are being shown somewhere.
The Premier League is often billed as the most entertaining league in the world and the 2018/19 season has not disappointed so far. In line with many predictions, Man City and Liverpool have set the pace for the first phase of the season, but the London trio of Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are playing impressive football and find themselves right in the mix at the top of the table.
In the lower reaches of the division, it's some of the more established sides that have struggled the most. Burnley and Southampton are both still battling to remove themselves from the relegation mire, along with new boys Cardiff City and Fulham. While the likes of West Ham, Wolves and Bournemouth have been the surprise packages. As have Manchester United - just for very different reasons.
Whatever happens in the coming months, we're here to help you catch all the games via a live stream wherever you are in the world, so keep scrolling down for all the Premier League live stream info.
