Two yellow cards equals a red card and in the Barclays Premier League and other competitions it will be a one game ban but if you get a straight red your suspension could be 1-10 weeks and even more. And if you eventually end up getting 5 yellow cards in that same season you will also serve a one match ban.

Only two cautions may be given to a single player in the same match. Once a player has has received two cautions in the same match he is automatically sent off, cannot return to the match, and cannot substituted for.
2 cautions (yellow cards) automatically earn a send off (red card). However in some leagues or competitions there is a difference in how many matches the player will be suspended from, a red resulting from a second yellow may suspend the player for one match while a red straight away may suspend the player for 3 matches. In other competitions like the FIFA World Cup there is no difference, both types of red will result in 1 game suspension.
A player may receive two cautions in the same match, at which point they will be sent off.
Every player on both teams can be given a yellow card if the referee thinks they deserve it, but for one player only two can be given then they will be sent off.
