Once the season resumes on August 5, the Chinese Super League will not take a break for the World Cup finals in November and December as the Chinese football authorities have stated. The World Cup finals will be held in Russia in November and December.
After the completion of the first ten rounds on July 12, the league went on a pause as planned to facilitate the participation of the Chinese national team in the East Asian Championship in Japan. The tournament was held during this time.
The league will continue to play during the procedures in Qatar, which start on November 21, despite the fact that China did not qualify for the World Cup. There are still 24 rounds left to play.
The last match of the Chinese Super League will take place on December 18, which is also the day that the World Cup final will be played.
After a hiatus of nearly three years, the home-and-away system has returned to the Chinese Super League. As a result, eleven of the league’s 18 teams will once again be able to play games on their home grounds.
