There are three United Rugby Championship fixtures on December 26 while the Gallagher Premiership completely avoids the Boxing Day slot.

Rugby fans have a feast of festive fixtures to sink their teeth into between Christmas and New Year.

The Welsh derbies in the United Rugby Championship kick off on Boxing Day, with Dragons hosting Cardiff before Ospreys welcome the Scarlets. Wales' four regions are in action again on New Year's Day.

As for England's top league, the Gallagher Premiership has dodged December 26 fixtures altogether, with Harlequins hosting Bristol Bears (both men's and women's) on Tuesday, December 27, being the first post-Christmas Premiership match.

URC games will be broadcast live across a mix of Premier Sports (Viaplay if you're live streaming), BBC Two Wales and S4C, while the Gallagher Premiership is mostly on BT Sport.
