Overall, there are a total of 6 double-header weekends, most of which are in the first half of the season. However, the schedule does look quite draining as we head into the second half post-summer break.

There will be two back-to-back triple-headers starting from Belgium and ending with Japan before closing out the season with tw0 back-to-back double-headers. So, a very tough campaign ahead for the teams and the working staff. But, for the fans? Well, we are in for an absolute treat.
