When is the next international break?
Radio Times is on hand with all you need to know about the next international break.
Domestic football seasons are always split up with international breaks and they often divide opinion, with most supporters preferring club football.
A lot of international breaks in recent years have been due to Nations League football, which was a seemingly avoidable competition that didn't need to clog up the calendar.
Players have publicly criticised it due to the amount of games they already take part in, with most people only tuning in when it involves a World Cup or the Euros.
Thankfully, the next break will feature World Cup qualifiers ahead of the 2026 competition in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Finally, matches that mean something!
Also, there is Nations League action, if that's your thing. We're not judging.
England, Scotland, Wales, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland will all feature in the next international break as they get their World Cup qualifying campaign under way, but when is it?
RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about the next international break.
