There’s only handful of games left of the 2021-22 season but it won’t be too long until football is back and with the World Cup taking place in November and December it means an early start for leagues across Europe this summer.
The Scottish League Cup is among the first to return, kicking off in just 48 days time. The week before that there’s European qualifiers with the road to the Champions League and Europa Conference League starting in earnest.
The key date on the Scottish domestic scene is July 30th when all four SPFL leagues begin, as does the English Football League. A week later the Premier League swings in to action, joined by Ligue 1 and the German Bundesliga the same weekend.
