I'm assuming that as Boxing Day is on Wednesday (Arsenal H) there's no way that'll be moved from the 26th, being as we're playing on the Saturday as well ? Unless they decide to bump our entire Christmas schedule back a day, which isn't entirely beyond the realms I suppose, being as Sky/BT seem to have a permanent hard-on over us.

i think they might move or at least televise the Arsenal game just as it's logistically easy for TV. They don't want to be spending too much money on overtime etc..

So in other words, fixtures will be announced on 17 October, Huddersfield tickets on sale 23 October

Given that we play Palace at home on 4 December, the Huddersfield game won't be moved to Monday night and isn't that attractive for TV other than perhaps Saturday 12.30 even then I would be surprised
Chelsea at home on 15th could well be a TV game, and given that Sky like South Coast derbies (I know it isn't) Bournemouth away on 22nd could be another TV game
Liverpool 12th January at home could well be another TV game, and given our home record against Utd would the away game 19th January also be picked up by TV.
December and January could be a festive feast of armchair Albion fans

Chelsea at home won't be a Saturday game as they are in the Europa League on the Thursday before.

Thanks for heads up as was stressing over the timing of that game.
Is it this season where Amazon have the rights to all Boxing Day games and can show all 10 simultaneously?

So do we still think the Arsenal match will be on Boxing Day?

Definitely maybe
No - next season.
(Well - one bank holiday anyway. I'm not sure I heard it was definitely Boxing Day)
Here you go:
Amazon will show 20 Premier League matches a season for three years from 2019, after winning one of the final two broadcast packages.
The online streaming service won the rights to show every game from the first round of midweek fixtures in December and all 10 matches on 26 December as part of a three-year deal.

Personally hope the Arsenal game is moved as if Southern run true to form, there won't be any trains on Boxing Day.
Quite why Public transport comes to a stop over Christmas in this country is beyond me.

Heard a rumour whilst in Manchester on Saturday that the Arsenal game is being lined up for the Boxing Day tea time slot.

Quite why we still insist on matches being on Boxing Day I have no idea. I've never understood it, even before being a parent myself.

Competition would work, but only without the exclusive rights deals we have now. Currently we have the worst of both worlds from the comsumer's perspective.
