Rob DaviesThe EFL returns from a shorter break this summer on the 30th of July due to the World Cup in Qatar which starts on the 21st of November.
The 2021/22 campaign ends on the 7th of May, less than a month away, and pre season usually starts in mid June – although the break that players will have depends on whether the Swans will participate in the end of season play-offs (however unlikely that may be).
For the World Cup there will be roughly a month where the season is paused between November the 12th and December the 10th.
The new fixture list will also be revealed on the 23rd of June.
All the key dates are as follows:
