Some people reckon Boxing Day is for shopping, but we reckon it’s all about relaxing on the couch with some delicious Christmas leftovers and sinking your teeth into a ripping day of sport.
The Boxing Day Test and the Sydney to Hobart are the main events, but we’ve also got some BBL and NBL action in the evening – as well as more Test cricket from overseas – while US sport lovers have an NBA quintuple-header to salivate over. Later at night, there’s Premier League action kicking off too.
It all starts at 4am, with the Boston Celtics tackling the defending-champion Toronto Raptors in the NBA. Ben Simmons’ Philadelphia 76ers are next on the list when they tackle the Milwaukee Bucks in a potential Eastern Conference final preview.
We’ve got more basketball throughout the day, before the second Australia-New Zealand Test takes centre stage. Everyone scrambles for the remote at lunchtime to see the Sydney to Hobart get underway, before flicking back to the cricket.
As always, The Roar will have you covered with live scores, blogs, opinion, analysis and video highlights from all the action on what’s easily one of the best days on the sporting calendar.
