Consideration for “Boxing Day”: Premier League announces key dates for World Cup season

The Premier League has announced the key dates for the 2022/23 season. The World Cup in the winter and an English tradition dont get in the way.

The Premier League will kick off its new season on 6 August 2022, it announced late on Thursday afternoon.

The 2022/23 season will be dominated by the Winter World Cup in Qatar, for which play will also be suspended on the island – in November and December. The 16th matchday on 12 and 13 November will be the last before the continental tournament.

As the World Cup final will take place on 18 December, the major event will end just in time not to collide with the “Boxing Day” traditionally played in the Premier League, the match day on Boxing Day (26 December).

The Premier League will therefore resume play on “Boxing Day”, with the 38th and final round being played on 28 May 2023.
