What is the Premier League winter break, and when does your team play?

  /  autty

The 2023-24 Premier League campaign will see the return of the winter break, following several disruptions in the schedule in recent years.

Last season saw the World Cup take place in Qatar in the winter - with leagues across Europe being affected by the tournament.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool currently top the table and are currently three points ahead of Aston Villa - and five ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal.

Sheffield United currently sit bottom of the pile - with just two wins all season - and are closely followed by Burnley and Luton Town.

Mail Sport breaks down when the winter winter break fixtures will take place and when your team will play.

When is the winter break?

Over the last few seasons, the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the Premier League schedule. Last season also saw the World Cup take place in the winter - with the league taking a month long break to factor in the tournament.

This season will see the return of the winter break that will take place between Sunday, January 14 and Monday, January 29.

In order to avoid a congested schedule across the Christmas period, the Premier League confirmed that no town rounds will take place within 24 hours of each other.

In Spain, Germany and France, the league tends to stop completely over the winter. However, in England, this will not be the case, and instead, the break will be split over two weekends.

Therefore Gameweek 21 will will take place over two weekends, with five games in each week.

That means 10 teams will feature one weekend and get the following off - with the other 10 having a break before playing the following weekend.

What are the fixtures?

Five games will be held across 12-14 January - with the other five taking place across 20-22 January.

The league will return in full with midweek games on January 30 and 31.

The full fixtures during the winter break is as follows:

Friday 12 January

Saturday 13 January

Sunday 14 January

Saturday 20 January

Sunday 21 January

Monday 22 January
