Scottish Premiership football match between Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Stadium.
Hearts take on Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday 2 January, a Scottish Premiership clash that falls right in the middle of the New Year break. It's a home game for the Jambs, so the action stays in Edinburgh.
Coming so close to the turn of the year, it's one of those early-January fixtures that usually finds the city still shaking off the holiday. For Hearts, it's a chance to get the new year moving on home turf, with Kilmarnock making the trip up from Ayrshire for the afternoon. It's a standard Premiership meeting, so it'll be the usual ninety minutes of top-flight Scottish football, played out in front of the home crowd at Tynecastle.

If you're planning to head along, keep in mind it's a Saturday match, so it's a straightforward one to build a weekend around. The game is on 2 January 2027, and with Tynecastle being the home ground, you'll be right in the heart of the Gorgie area for it. It's a Scottish Premiership fixture, so it's part of the league run rather than a cup tie, and it's one of the first games of the 2027 calendar year.
