Don't miss your favourite teams' matches: you'll find a comprehensive schedule below

The holiday period will soon come to an end and the players are set to return to their teams’ bases. The footballers will not only be involved in pre-season training in camps but also have a number of friendlies around the world before a new 2023/2024 campaign that starts in August. We’ll tell you everything you need to know (dates, kick-off times, opponents, locations, season start marks) so you don’t miss out on the high points of this off-season period.

Clubs traditionally arrange summer tours to increase their popularity. Of course, most of the spotlight turns to the USA and Asia. Let’s trawl through Europe’s top football leagues and chronicle how the ones-to-watch clubs from there will conduct their summer preparations.

All the kick-off times of the matches are provided in ‎India Standard Time (IST) which is GMT+5:30 for your convenience.

England (English Premier League):

Start of the 2023/24 EPL season: August 11-12.

This year, many of the EPL teams will have to spend a staggering amount of time travelling by plane. In total, English clubs will play 64 matches in 15 countries over 26 days. Together they will travel more than 170,000 miles (273,588km), which is 6.8 times the length of the equator. The clubs who finished the previous season in the top 6 will fly more than the others, but the highest achiever will be Tottenham, who will cover 19,960 miles (32,122km).

Amidst this footballing tapestry, watch as Mason Mount graces the hallowed grounds of Manchester United while the top transfer of the summer so far –  Declan Rice – paints his dreams in Red and White. Brace yourself for a symphony of skill, where new alliances bloom and legends take flight. Pre-season friendlies are a great opportunity to see the best of the newcomers already in action in the ranks of their new clubs. What prerequisites for the next season will they leave? Will the teams be able to uncover some under-the-radar talent that deserve more chances in the 23/24 campaign? We will find out all of this in the matches of the teams below.
