Why are there no Premier League games this weekend?

The Premier League is taking a break for the weekend of September 7-8 due to a scheduled window for international fixtures.

For most players in England, the international break means exchanging Premier League for UEFA Nations League action or 2026 World Cup qualifying, while others represent their countries around the globe in friendly matches. Those not selected for their national squads will remain at their clubs to train.
