Keeping up with royal tradition!

Prince Harry and Prince William were good sports when they played a game of soccer in their annual Christmas Eve charity soccer match at the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.

While the two brothers normally play on opposing teams, they decided to switch things up a bit and play for the same team this year.

Both men logged in ample time on the field despite the rainy weather, and according to local reports, Harry was even tackled less than five minutes into the game.

But nevermind the bump start, both continued to play on ahead of their family's Christmas Eve celebration.

And while Kate Middleton, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were nowhere to be seen during the daytime outing, it's safe to say that the family will be reunited for the festivities.

Earlier this month, the family of four shared their adorable holiday card followed by Harry's very own special Christmas photograph.

"Merry Christmas from Prince Harry! Here's his Christmas card photo showing one of his favourite moments from 2015" Kensington Palace teased in a tweet

Happy holidays to the royal family!
