Following an agreemenet with the FA, the 2024-25 Premier League season will start on the weekend of the 17th of Auguest, with the Community Shield the preceding week. The mid-season break has been removed to allow the season to start a little later, and I would bet that it will not return to the calendar in later seasons in light if the expansion of the number of UEFA matchweeks.

Matchweek 37 will take place on the same weekend as the FA Cup final, but will not have any fixtures on the Friday or Saturday; I would guess that matchweek will go into the midweek to make up for the FA Cup finalists' fixtures. There will be no Premier League fixtures on the weekends of the FA Cup fifth round and quarter-finals.
