which means season stops on 13th to allow a week before. unless they want some friendies to warm up, so right off the whole of November. no games the week after the end (Christmas), so first game back will probably be new year. possibly boxing day.

I would imagine it will be October - Jan

Could be wrong, but I think there are FIFA rules on this and the players need to be released something like three weeks before

They're also binning-off the two Euro qualifiers that would normally have taken place in October 2022. These are being brought forward, and will be played between 30th May - 14th June in a 4-match post season International series.

Carnage.

This would be a perfect chance to re-do the whole qualification process and finally bin San Marino etc to a pre qualification group

Has it been established what happens to Championship and lower division sides that get international call-ups? Will all the leagues be on a break? If not, will those clubs have to be without their international players for that period or will they just not play and end up 5 or 6 games behind other teams?

JUst looked it up ... it's the Monday the week preceding the start of the tournament. - which could be six days or 12

They must be released by Monday 14th November - 7 days before the opening game.
