FIFA World Cup 2022: How will the World Cup affect the Premier League schedule next season?

Qatar World Cup 2022 will not only be the first-ever World Cup to be held in the Middle East, but also the first to be held in the Northern Hemisphere in the winter months of November and December (the match was held in the summer of June and July in the past). Qatar World Cup fans can buy FIFA World Cup Tickets from our website.

SuperSport spectators on DStv and GOtv will have a countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, which runs from November 21 to December 18 and features the most exciting sublime of the “Beautiful Game”.

The 2022 World Cup starts on November 21 and the Premier League will be suspended

DStv and GOtv are the ones and only football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action unmatched by any other competitor, simply "football like no other"! If you spend your money on something, you better spend it on the best football in the world.

That means major European competitions such as the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A will have to be suspended for the duration of the 2022 World Cup, which will bring major changes to the 2022-23 schedule.

The 2022 World Cup starts on November 21 and the Premier League will be suspended about a week ago. Round 16 is the final round before halftime, which will take place over the weekends of November 12 and 13. The call-up period will then begin on Monday, November 14, when the international managers will select their teams.

The season will be tweaked slightly to accommodate the competition, with the opening day now slated for early August 6.

The 2022 World Cup final will take place on Sunday, December 18, 2022. Premier League players will not have long to recover as Boxing Day December 26 marks the resumption of the 2022-23 season.

As a result of the above adjustments, the Eredivisie will end later than usual on May 28. Other competitions from August to May are expected to follow a similar schedule to the Premier League.

UEFA Champions League will complete its preliminary rounds at the end of August

The Champions League, Europa League, and Europa League are also being adapted to the World Cup. For example, the UEFA Champions League will complete its preliminary rounds at the end of August, while the group stage will be played between September 6-7 and November 1-2.

The knockout stages will continue after the World Cup in February 2023, but the final will take place on June 10, 2023 (Western League final on June 7 and Europa League final on May 31).
