The CS:GO Professional Players Association (CSPPA) has announced changes to the dates for both the 2020 Summer player break and the 2020/2021 Winter player break.

As for the 2020/21 Winter player break, it will take place from December 21 - January 17.

These changes were sought due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the CS:GO calendar, its players, and tournament organizers. Many events have been forced to cancel or postpone—the most recent changes being to ESL One Cologne and IEM Melbourne.
ESL One Cologne was set to begin on July 6 but will now take place from August 21-30. IEM Melbourne, on the other hand, was postponed to next year.
