Premier League 2023-24 season to kick off on Aug 12

The 2023-24 Premier League season will kick off on Aug. 12 and will have a mid-season player break in January, the English top-flight league said on Tuesday.

This season will be paused after the coming weekend’s games for the mid-season World Cup in Qatar, and it will resume on Dec. 26 with Boxing Day



fixtures.

The final match round of the season is scheduled for May 28, giving players nearly 11 weeks before the next season kicks off.

“The season schedule returns to normal following the COVID-19 pandemic and the FIFA World Cup 2022, which provided disruption during the previous three seasons,” the league said.
