Festive Football Schedule On Express FM

A full guide to your football fix on Express FM across the festive period!

As ever, the Christmas and New Year period brings with it plenty of changes to the footballing schedule up and down the country. Whether it's cup competitions causing rearrangements or the festive period clashing with normal show scheduling, December typically causes our football shows to move to some abnormal days of the week to accommodate for the busy time ahead.

2023 is no exception to that rule, so we have provided you with the lowdown on when shows such as Pompey Live, The Football Hour and Over The White Line are planned to take place over the course of the holiday period.
