No EPL Matches Today as Premier League Takes Temporary Break

Football fans looking forward to English Premier League action will have to wait, as there are no EPL matches scheduled for today, Monday, September 21, 2026.

The league is taking a temporary break after Matchweek 5, which concluded over the weekend with several closely contested fixtures. Among the notable results was Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Fulham, a result that left both sides sharing the points after an entertaining encounter.

Manchester United’s latest draw has continued to attract attention, with manager Michael Carrick discussing the performance and the situation surrounding forward Marcus Rashford following the Fulham match. The result also means United will have to wait until the Premier League resumes before attempting to build further momentum.

The absence of Premier League fixtures today gives players and supporters a brief change of pace following a busy opening period of the season. Clubs will use the break to prepare for their next league assignments, while some players will turn their attention to international football.

For fans who still want to watch top-level English football this week, attention now shifts to the England national team. The Three Lions are scheduled to return to action this Saturday, providing an opportunity for supporters to follow international football while the Premier League is on hold.

The temporary pause also gives football fans a chance to reflect on the opening five matchweeks, with the early-season table beginning to take shape. However, with plenty of football still to be played, the current standings are unlikely to tell the full story of the campaign.

Premier League action will resume after the break, with clubs returning to domestic competition and continuing their push for points.

For now, Monday is a Premier League-free day, but football fans do not have to wait long for the next major fixture involving England.
