Premier League teams will return to action just a week after the 2022 World Cup final after plans for a revised 2022-23 calendar were revealed.
A winter World Cup in Qatar in 12 months' time wreaks havoc in the middle of European football seasons and so the Premier League have revealed how they will navigate the month-long tournament.
The action will start a week earlier than normal on August 6 before coming to a halt on the weekend of November 12-13.
International players will then join up with their national teams from November 14 and will look to go all the way to the World Cup final on December 18.
