It has often been mentioned, but this time for sure. In 2022-2023, Ligue 1 will experience a “boxing day” made almost compulsory by the shortening of the season caused by the organization of the World Cup between November 21 and December 18, 2022. As decided, this Wednesday morning, the board of directors of the LFP, a day will take place on Wednesday December 28, 2022 (the 16th) and another on January 1, 2023 (the 17th). Ligue 2 will also play on December 27, 2022 and January 1, 2023.
In detail, the L1 season will start on August 7, 2022 and end on June 4, 2023. There will be four days during the week (one before the World Cup and three after). And there will be 45 cut-off days between the 15th day (November 13, 2022) and the 16th (December 28, 2022). Note that next season, there will be no play-offs and no play-offs.
