🎆 The Week Ahead at Scallywags: Ringing in 2026 with a Sports Marathon (Dec 30 – Jan 5)

Can you believe it’s almost 2026? We’re wrapping up the year with a big cheers and kicking off the new one with an absolute sports bonanza. Whether you’re here for the bowls, the Premier League madness, or just in it for a cold Huda and some aircon — Scallywags has your week sorted.

🏈 New Year’s Bowl Games – Perfect Recovery Fuel

After the party winds down on New Year’s Eve (Wednesday night), we’ll be back Thursday morning bright(ish) and early for the Cotton Bowl — a College Football Playoff Quarterfinal likely featuring Miami vs. Ohio State. Doors open at 8:00 AM, and the game will already be in full swing — perfect timing to roll in for breakfast and football.

Friday morning (Jan 2) brings another playoff cracker: the Sugar Bowl, with Ole Miss vs. Georgia, kicking off at 8:45 AM. Settle in with a burger and a brew — this one’s going to be electric.

⚽ Premier League Super Sunday – The First Weekend Hits Hard

Just a few days into 2026 and we’re already serving up a Premier League triple-header:

• Leeds United vs. Man United – Sunday, Jan 4 @ 7:30 PM

• Fulham vs. Liverpool – 10:00 PM

• Man City vs. Chelsea – 12:30 AM (Late Night Session)

That’s a heavy Sunday lineup, and yes — we’re staying open late.

🏏 The Ashes + NFL Finale – Monday Morning Mayhem

Cricket fans, we’ve got you covered too. The 5th Ashes Test kicks off Sunday morning at 8:00 AM and continues through the week — we’ll have it live on the side screen, sound on request.

And for NFL fans — this is it. Week 18’s Sunday Night Football finale hits Monday morning at 8:20 AM, and it’s a do-or-die playoff decider. We’re talking “win or go home” energy — and you’ll want to be here for it.

🕺 Party Plans?

We’ll be open standard hours on New Year’s Eve, with no ticketed event — just good tunes, great food, and a fun crowd. Come warm up before midnight or keep it chill with a beer and burger. No pressure, no dress code, just Scallywags.

🍻 The TL;DR

• Thu Jan 1 @ 8:00 AM – Cotton Bowl (CFP Quarterfinal)

• Fri Jan 2 @ 8:45 AM – Sugar Bowl (CFP Quarterfinal: Ole Miss vs. Georgia)

• Sun Jan 4 – Triple EPL: Leeds v Man Utd, Fulham v Liverpool, Man City v Chelsea
