    Premier League players could face the prospect of playing games nine days before the start of the 2022 winter World Cup in Qatar.

    Draft plans have been shared between clubs outlining the Premier League schedule around the tournament, being held from 21st November to 18th December.

    Fixtures could take place on 12th November and resume on 26th December, eight days after the final.

    The season would also kick off one week earlier and finish a week later.

    It means that there would be only six weekends without Premier League games.

    The issue will be discussed at the next Premier League shareholders' meeting in November.

    It is understood that Championship games will not take place during the World Cup, but the break for the second tier might not be as long as in the Premier League.

    Leagues One and Two will continue during the tournament.

    Wonder if that will happen if safc are still there and we lose a few if the likes of Scotland and Northern Ireland qualify?

    hopefully though by then we will be at least championship level so it won’t matter

    Yeh I did think that but expect us to be away from the third tier by then

    It is still a 32 team event for now, so if we are still in L1 I don’t think we should have an issue
