"A two-week Premier League mid-season player break in February has been approved to start from the 2019-20 season, the FA has announced.
The winter break ensures that Premier League matches will still be played over the period, with five top-flight games to be staged on the first weekend and five on the following weekend.
The FA has agreed to move FA Cup fifth-round matches to midweek in order to accommodate the planned break and, from the start of the 2019-20 season, fifth-round replays will be removed and replaced with extra-time and penalties.
"This is a significant moment for English football and one that we believe will greatly benefit both club and country," said Martin Glenn, chief executive of the FA.
