The Premier League’s 35th season will get under way in August 2026

When the fixtures are unveiled, one major change to the schedule will come across late September and early October.

Traditionally, the opening months of the season have three two-week international breaks: one in September, one in October and one in November.

From next season onward, this is changing. November’s international break will continue as normal, but with September’s and October’s being merged into one larger break.

That will therefore mean a three-week break in the Premier League season after the weekend of September 19/20 until October 10/11.

As things stand, the longer autumn break will continue until at least the 2030-31 season.
