The RPL has set new dates for matchday six of the RPL and made adjustments to the schedule of several games on matchday five.

Matchday six was moved from 28-29 August to 26-27 August at the request of the RFU to prepare the Russian national team for the September matches of 2022 World Cup qualifying.

The updated matchday five and six schedule takes into account the need to synchronize the teams' match cycles, the predicted hot weather in some regions, as well as the schedule of previously scheduled sports broadcasts of the main broadcaster.
