The Swiss Football League has published the outline programme for the 2026/27 Brack Super League season. The document anticipates the general structure of the next league and introduces a significant change related to the national team windows.
The main change concerns the merging of the September and October breaks into one long international break. A change defined by FIFA as early as 2023 and destined to come into force from 2026, with the aim of reducing the number of breaks and ensuring a more balanced distribution of matches in the central part of the season. This maxi break, which will result in tournaments stopping for two consecutive weekends, will allow national selections to play up to four matches in the same window.
On a general planning level, the new season will start on the weekend of 24-26 July 2026, a few days after the FIFA World Cup final scheduled for 19 July 2026 in New York. The winter break will last four weeks, from 20 December 2026 to 16 January 2027, while the first phase will end on Sunday 25 April 2027 with the 33rd matchday. Thereafter, the league will enter the usual division between Championship Group and Relegation Group, with the conclusion scheduled between 27 and 30 May 2027, depending on the schedule of the two groups. Finally, in the following week, the play-offs between the 11th ranked Brack Super League and the 2nd of ten Challenge League will take place.
The SFL will announce the detailed version of the calendar in the coming weeks, with the individual days and times as usual determined in agreement with the TV partners and the sporting criteria.
