The international break comes just weeks into the Premier League season – and there are plenty across the season. They're some of the dates football fans look for most when the fixtures come out every season, to find out just when their beloved clubs will be out of action for two weeks as international football takes centre stage. The international breaks always come thick and fast once the Premier League season gets underway, and there will be just four weekends of action before the first break in September for a mixture of competitive Euro 2024 qualifiers and friendly matches, which will see Gareth Southgate’s England cross the border to face Scotland in a tantalising friendly encounter. In among the start of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League group stages, further breaks follow between October 9 and 17 – and November 13 and 21, when England will host both Italy and Australia in the former. One major disruption for clubs around Europe this season is the Asia Cup and Africa Cup of Nations early in 2024, running from January 12 to February 11, meaning several clubs will be without key players. This will have an effect on the likes of with Son Heung-Min, with Mo Salah and with Thomas Partey, as well as a whole host of other stars around the league. The last international break comes between March 18 and 26 as national teams around Europe will be in final preparations for next summer Euro 2024 in Germany, which kicks off on June 14 and will end on July 14 – the same dates as the Copa America in the United States. In what is set to be another busy season, players around the world will once again find themselves juggling club and country responsibilities a-plenty throughout the campaign, but it will be a bigger year than most with major competitions set to take place across the globe, culminating next summer. The Premier League season ends on May 19 2024.
