The 2020-21 Premier League season to start on 12 September

Date:

The 2020-21 Premier League season will start on 12 September and finish on 23 May.

The current campaign will end on Sunday after it was suspended for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Premier League said it would “continue to consult” with the Football Association and English Football League (EFL) “regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions”.

A statement from the Premier League read: “Premier League shareholders today agreed to start the 2020-21 Premier League season on September 12, 2020.

“The final match round of the campaign will take place on May 23, 2021. The Premier League will continue to consult the FA and EFL regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions.”

The current campaign was forced into a three-month hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic, with matches resuming on June 17 with the majority of clubs facing the final nine matches of their season.

 

Leeds United have secured promotion to the Premier League after winning the Championship, with West Bromwich Albion going up in second place.

The final promotion place will be decided via the playoffs as usual, with Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff and Swansea all vying for a place in the Wembley final when they get underway this weekend.

When the Premier League season finishes on May 23 last year, then many players will have around a three-week break until the delayed Euro 2020 finals.

That is still scheduled to take place in venues across the continent between June 11 and July 11 next year.
