Our Media Essentials Guide for the 2023-24 season is available to download now.
This guide is produced each year to support print, broadcast and online journalists to understand our Rules and Regulations. It is also intended to help ensure any reporting around them is accurate for viewers, readers or listeners.
Our general on and off-field regulatory and disciplinary processes that apply to football ‘participants’ during the 2023-24 season are explained in the form of step-by-step guides and timelines where applicable.
Relevant updates from FIFA and the International Football Association Board (IFAB) that could have implications for English football throughout the current season are also outlined.
Please contact our Media Relations team in the first instance if you have questions about any of these topics during the season by using: Media.Relations@TheFA.com
Our standard practice is to publish the details of misconduct charges and outcomes involving ‘participants’ under our jurisdiction, and regular updates can be found on:
