Here is the English and European football schedule for the 2021-22 season.
It shows schedules for the Premier League, Football League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, and international breaks.
(Disclaimer: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning Groundhopper Guides may receive some compensation if you make a purchase after clicking one of these links.)
A few things to keep in mind:
- League and Cup games will show here as being on one day, but they will actually be played over a few days that around that date. (Related: When does TV change the Premier League schedule?)
- “European games” means Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday, Europa League and Europa Conference League on Thursday.
- An International Break is when all the top leagues in Europe won’t be playing, so that would include the Premier League and Championship in England. Here’s a list of all international breaks for the next few seasons.
