List of Premier League games postponed and when they will be played?

The Matchday 7 of the Premier League 2022-23 season were postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96. Arsenal faced FC Zurich midweek and Manchester United hosted Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League. Both the games held a one-minute silence before kick-off and wore black armbands as a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II.

There were doubts whether Matchday 8 would go ahead as planned or it would be postponed. But the Premier League announced that the Matchday 8 fixtures will be going ahead as planned. But three more fixtures and a Europa League clash. were postponed. The games have been postponed due to the security needs around the queen's funeral.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace was postponed last week due to a planned train strike and the game remains postponed. Liverpool's visit to Stamford Bridge is also postponed and Manchester United's visit to Elland Road (Leeds United's home ground) is also postponed. Arsenal vs Manchester City has also been postponed.

With the season's schedule already jam-packed due to the 2022 Qatar World Cup scheduled to start in November. Rescheduling the postponed matches will be a real hassle and no easy task.

When can the postponed matches be played?

The biggest problem to reschedule the postponed games is that there are no available dates in 2022. The English top flight schedule from now till the start of the 2022 World Cup is jam-packed with four rounds of European games, a full set of Premier League matches and the third round of the Carabao Cup. Arsenal vs PSV in the UEFA Europa League has been rescheduled for 20th October.

English football returns just two days after the World Cup final on December 20th with the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. After this are three rounds of Premier League matchday over the Christmas and holiday season. If two teams are eliminated from the domestic cup competitions, their matches and can be rescheduled midweek.

But if the English teams reach the later round of the European competition, there will be next to no midweek spot left to reschedule the games of those teams. The season cant also be extended as the FA Cup final is scheduled to go ahead on June 3, The UEFA Champions League 2022-23 final is scheduled for June 10. Right after that, there is an international break for Euro 2024 qualifying matches.

Fitting the postponed games in the current calendar will be more of a luck game rather than a sure and planned execution for the Premier League.
