How to Watch Sports Non-Stop This Christmas

Whether its the NFL, NBA, college football, soccer or even rugby, you have plenty of sports viewing options this Christmas.

Sports fans are in for a treat this Christmas. Because the holiday falls on a Monday, you have a full slate of NFL games in addition to the usual Christmas Day NBA action. Add that to a host of bowl games, college hoops and world soccer, and you’ve got yourself a jam-packed weekend of sports action.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that you wanted to avoid as much contact with your family as possible and just watch sports from Christmas Eve through Boxing Day. Could you do it? Yes, absolutely! Let’s lay out how. (All times eastern.)
