Premier League to allow five substitutes from next season
The Premier League officially confirmed that five substitutions can be made in a single match next season. The summer window transfer opens on June 10th
The EPL officials have confirmed that in the coming season, 2022-23, the EPL will use the five substitution rule, where a team can change up to five players in three substitutions in a single game, and the substitutions at halftime will not take up the substitution opportunities.
As the Qatar World Cup will begin this winter, the EPL’s next season will start a week earlier than in previous years, that is, in early August, so the EPL side has also brought forward the opening of the transfer window to June 10.

From April 4, the League will remove twice-weekly COVID-19 testing of players and staff and move to symptomatic testing only. Other key updates include the removal of the requirement for clinical passports to access previously restricted areas at training grounds and on match days as the Premier League returns to business-as-usual operations.
The wellbeing of players and staff remains a priority and the Premier League will continue to monitor the national COVID-19 situation and adapt League-wide protocols as required, in line with the latest guidance from public health authorities and medical experts.
