Club rounds, and league seasons, that fall inside a FIFA window of the same sex, and each tournament against the league seasons running across its dates. Wikipedia does not date individual league rounds, so a league is tested only where its season runs across a window or stops for a stated break.

Sources and method

Every block comes from an English Wikipedia article, refreshed once a week. A league season is the lighter regular season, drawn in pieces so a winter break shows as a gap, plus the solid play-offs where there are any. The diamond on a league lane is a domestic cup final.

A FIFA window is a run of international dates with no gap of more than a few days. The men's windows are the shaded bands and cross every lane. The women's windows are bands too, but they shade only the women's lanes. Dashed blocks are a usual window worked out from the two previous seasons, not confirmed dates.

European leagues are ordered by the UEFA country coefficient (the live five-year race).

Men's window 2026-09-24 to 2026-10-06 read from the UEFA Nations League matchdays (the FIFA table lists upcoming windows only)

Not drawn: the Club World Cup (next edition summer 2029), Euro 2028, Copa América 2028 and the 2028 Olympics (all after the window), the Women's Euro (2029), and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2026 (Wikipedia gives only 'August to December').
