With just three games to go at the 2018 Russia World Cup (we don't really count the 3/4th place game do we ?), football fans around the world are starting to turn their focus on the big euro domestic 2018/19 campaigns.
Here's a brief rough guide as to when the major European leagues get underway:

The schedule for the 2018/19 season will be drawn at the meeting of the Real Federación de Fútbol (Spanish FA) HQ at Las Rozas in Madrid on July 24 when the schedule for the 1st and 2nd divisions will be released along with the allocation of teams for the fours 2B regional based groups. The season gets underway on the weekend of August 18th 2018 and runs through to May 20, 2019.
Premier League
The 2018/19 fixtures for the Premier League were released in mid June and the campaign gets underway on Friday August with a visit to Old Trafford as Manchester United welcome the former champions Leicester City.
