"Three matches into the new Premier League season, the players went their separate ways to compete in friendlies and qualifiers with their international teams. England are scheduled to face Andorra and Serbia in the September international match window, which this year runs from September 1 to September 9, and by the end of it some players will have played as many national team games this season as club fixtures. Then, in the second week of October, they'll do it all over again."

FIFA president Gianni Infantino The penultimate men's international window of 2025 runs from October 6 to October 14 and will be followed by a last match window between November 10 and November 18."
"There's a World Cup in the summer of 2026, before which the traditional two-match international windows will take place in late March and early June. After that, it's all change. There will only be two international match windows in the first half of the 2026-27 season, but there's a twist that's sure to drive some fans to despair.

Three Premier League matches into the season, players dispersed to national team friendlies and qualifiers. England will face Andorra and Serbia in the September international window from September 1 to September 9, and some players may finish that window having played as many international games as club fixtures. International football divides Premier League supporters, and the September window often frustrates fans, especially after major summer tournaments. The penultimate 2025 men's international window runs October 6–14 and the final window runs November 10–18. A 2026 World Cup precedes a restructured 2026–27 calendar with only two international windows in the first half of the season and a planned merging of the September and October breaks.
