When is the Premier League winter break?

Rather than the league stopping completely - like we see in Spain, Germany and France for example - the break is split over two weekends.

That means matchweek 21 is over two weekends, with five games in each. It means 10 teams play one weekend, and get the following off, with the other 10 taking a weekend off before playing.

Half of the games are across 12-14 January, with the other five taking place across 20-22 January.

In 2020, the break took place across matchweek 26 so it is happening considerably earlier this season, and much closer to the hectic Christmas period, where the schedule is more condensed.
