Your complete guide to football on New Year’s Day 2024, including TV schedule and kick-off times.
When is bin day? Nobody knows. In fact, what day is it? Again, nobody actually knows.
The New Year has arrived following a hazy week of brandy cream, turkey remnants and discovering wrapping paper shards in places you couldn’t imagine.
While the nation stirs from its leisurely slumber, one thing is for certain: football, that great marker of time and date, will keep us entertained.
Just like Boxing Day, New Year’s Day boasts almost 10 hours of consecutive football.
2024 kicks off with a fascinating Championship play-off contender battle between Sunderland and Preston North End and culminates in a high-flying Premier League showdown between Liverpool and Newcastle United at Anfield – with plenty in between.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of New Year’s Day fixtures across the leagues.
