Here is the English and European football schedule for the 2022-23 season. We have tried…
When Are the Next International Breaks in English and European Football?
When are the international breaks in English and European football during the 2022-23 season and beyond?
These are weekends when FIFA calls time on domestic league schedules, so during international breaks there are no Premier League fixtures.
International breaks are scheduled well ahead of time, so that national teams and domestic leagues can plan for many top players to move around the world. They will travel, for example, to take place in FIFA World Cup qualifying, the UEFA European Championships, the Africa Cup of Nations, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, etc.
And since this would leave, for example, many Premier League clubs without top players, fairness dictates that all top leagues stop playing. In England, this includes the Championship. An international break would also mean no UEFA Champions League or Europa League fixtures.
Technically, an international break is from a Monday through the following Tuesday, but for domestic league fixtures, it really means you miss one weekend. So for the lists below, we give the Saturday in which there will be no fixtures in domestic leagues such as the Premier League, Championship, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, etc.
