World Cup Hangover Set to Disrupt Premier League Clubs Ahead of New Season

Posted : 31 July 2026

The 2026-27 Premier League season begins just 33 days after the World Cup final, leaving clubs with limited time to prepare players returning from international duty.

Teams including Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal face particular challenges, with several key players expected to return only after completing FIFA's mandatory three-week post-tournament break.

The compressed schedule is expected to affect pre-season preparations, squad fitness and selection decisions during the opening weeks of the campaign.
