New football season starts tomorrow!

Bear in mind that there was neither a men's senoir European Championship or World Cup, the summer should have been fairly football free.

But you may have noticed the opposite.

There were the U19 and U21 Men's European Championships, and as England won both last time out, all of both competitions were screened on TV. England won the U21.

Then there was the World Club Cup in the US which I watched almost nothing of.

And finally, there was the Women's Euros which ended on Sunday with England again winning.

Just over five days later, Luton play Wimbledon in the first League 1 game of the season, on TV.

Over the weekend, both the rest of League 1 and League 2 will play their first games. Next weekend, The Championship begins on Friday, with the Charity Shield on Sunday, before the week after, the Premier League begins.

I once said to my friend in Arkansas, Jason, that we had almost 365 days of football, and how he said that sounded like heavan. But it isn't of course, no time to rest, to savour triumphs or recover from poor seasons, just the same three months on.

League football will carry on until the end of May 2026, have a week or two off, then the 48 team World Cup will begin in Mexico, the US and Canada.
