Premier League clubs will take the knee for next two gameweeks as part of No Room For Racism campaign after ditching gesture at start of season
Players in the Premier League will take the knee over the next two weekends as part of the No Room For Racism campaign.
All 20 fixtures between 8 and 16 October will be used to highlight the ongoing commitment to tackling discrimination and promotion equality, diversity and inclusion.
This comes after the decision to scrap the gesture for every Premier League fixture due to concerns that the demonstration had lost its gravitas.
Ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, captains of all 20 Premier League clubs collectively selected key moments in the season in which to take the knee to demonstrate that racism won't be tolerated, also opting to show their support for the Boxing Day fixtures, No Room For Racism matchdays and the final day of the season.
They also agreed to take the knee for the FA Cup and EFL Cup finals.
CEO of the Premier League, Richard Masters, said: “Fighting racism and all forms of discrimination is always a priority for the Premier League and our clubs.
"We urge everybody to play their part and demonstrate that racial prejudice is not acceptable in football or wider society.

“We support the decision made by players to take the knee at specific moments during the season and we will use these matches to further promote anti-discrimination and educate fans.
“We continue to work hard to address discrimination and improve opportunities within the game, in line with our No Room For Racism Action Plan.
"We know more can be done to remove barriers to make football more inclusive, and that football will benefit from greater diversity across all areas of the sport.”
Among the fixtures to take part are Manchester City's clash with Southampton on Saturday, Everton vs Manchester United on Sunday and Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa on Monday, all of which are exclusively live on the talkSPORT network this weekend.
