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.
