The season has only just finished, but we're already gearing up for a new one.
The fixtures for the 2019/20 campaign are released today.
Premier League teams can start preparing for the new season as of today, as they will know where and when they are playing the other 19 teams home and away.
They will, however, have to wait until the TV fixtures are announced, so they can't quite make rigid plans just yet.
The full fixture list for all 20 clubs will be release at 9am and we will have all the details right here on football.london .
For now, here's some key information ahead of the new campaign.
Fixtures
The fixtures are decided on scheduling.
In any block of five fixtures, a team should play three matches at home and two away, or vice versa.
A team should never have more than two-consecutive home or away fixtures, and a club will never start or finish the season with two-consecutive home or away games.
Season start and finish
The new season is scheduled to start on Saturday August 10th and will conclude on Sunday May 17th 2020.
Community Shield
The Community Shield will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday August 4th, where Premier League champions Manchester City will face Liverpool, who finished runners-up in the league.
Winter break
A winter break will come into force in the Premier League for the first time in the 2019/20 season.
It will allow English players 10 days’ rest before the European Championship that summer, when Wembley will host seven matches, including the semi-finals and final.
The winter break will last two weeks, with the break for Premier League clubs set to be staggered over two weekends.
Ten teams will be playing the first weekend and the other ten teams will be playing the following weekend, which will allow all clubs to have a 14-day break from football.
