Highlights

• Selected Nations League matches run from Thursday, November 12, through Sunday, November 15.

• The Premier League’s next scheduled round begins on November 21.

Which football matches stand out this week?

The following is a selection of high-interest senior Nations League fixtures, rather than a complete worldwide list. UEFA’s published schedule uses Central European Time; the table converts the listed 20:45 CET kickoffs to 19:45 UTC.

Use UEFA’s official fixtures list for the full programme, including other leagues and earlier kickoffs. England’s two dates are also listed on its official UEFA team page.

Why does international football lead the schedule?

FIFA’s men’s international calendar reserves November 9–17 for national-team matches. In Europe, Nations League Matchday 5 is scheduled for November 12–14, followed by Matchday 6 on November 15–17. The Sunday fixtures therefore begin the final round of league-phase matches, with the remaining games continuing after this guide’s November 15 cutoff.

These are group-stage fixtures with league positions at stake, rather than one-off knockout ties. The competition includes promotion and relegation, with the leading League A teams progressing toward the later knockout rounds. This makes the national-team programme the useful starting point for this particular week. Check the current group table alongside each fixture before drawing conclusions about a team’s qualification position.

Are there Champions League games from November 9–15?

No Champions League league-phase games fall within these dates on UEFA’s published calendar. Matchday 4 took place on November 3–4, and Matchday 5 is scheduled for November 24–25. The latter includes Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City vs Napoli on November 24. Those are dates to plan for after the international window, not fixtures being played during the week covered here.

Keeping the date ranges separate matters when searching for “football this week”: an upcoming European match can appear prominently in search results even when it is more than a week away. Always open the fixture page and confirm both the date and the competition.

When does Premier League football return?

The Premier League’s official November schedule moves from its November 8 games to the next round beginning Saturday, November 21. It lists Manchester City vs Fulham at 12:30 GMT that day, with Liverpool vs Manchester United scheduled for Sunday, November 22, at 16:30 GMT. Both are outside November 9–15. They belong in the following week’s club-football plans.

For other domestic competitions, use the league or club calendar for the team you follow. This guide is a selected European watchlist and does not claim that every league worldwide stops during an international window.

How should readers use the kickoff times?

UTC provides one consistent reference across countries. In the UK this week, UTC and GMT show the same clock time; in Central Europe, add one hour for CET. A fixture page or app may automatically display your device’s local time, so check its timezone label before comparing it with this table. Broadcast information should also be checked for the country where you will watch, rather than inferred from the kickoff time.
