The SPFL has announced some key dates for the 2019/20 season and also confirmed the retention of the Ladbrokes Premiership winter break.
All four divisions will kick off on the weekend of Saturday August 3, with the Premiership shutting down from Monday, December 30 until Friday, January 17.
The season will begin with the group stage of the Betfred Cup in mid-July and the last 16 will again be played on a weekend to avoid clashing with UEFA competition dates.
Dates for next season's Challenge Cup competition will be confirmed shortly while fixtures for the 2019/20 league season will be published in June.

Once again no new year games - utter bollocks. Time for a fans campaign.

Starting the season on mid-July is just stupid.

Would make life planning a lot easier if we had the actual fixtures before mid June.

Better than playing friendlies. And with the nature of a lot of games the players don’t need to push themselves too much. Originally Posted by Keith_M

If we qualify for Europe it’s an early start as well.

It's essential if the utterly pointless winter break is to continue. Originally Posted by Keith_M

Winter break with the usual 3-4 international breaks in as well and we can look forward to the ridiculous fixture cramming in December ...when money is tighter for those attending away games and those who dont have seasons ..! SPFL / SFA listen to no one and learn nothing ....fans what do they know or matter ????

I've not seen it written anywhere but heard next years Scottish cup final won't be the last game of the season, there'l be 2 more league games after.

The winter break is terrible.
Let's have a 2 and a half week break but cram a load of fixtures in either side of it. Great idea.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

It's the international breaks that should be done away with. They should be the games that are squeezed in somewhere rather than club games. I know the national team is important to some but it shouldn't disrupt the club schedule to the extent it's allowed to do. A case of the tail wagging the dog IMHO Originally Posted by eastcoasthibby
