Premier League 20/21 Season Start Date

Post by ffstuff »

I see they have finally agreed the start date

Premier League Shareholders today agreed to start the 2020/21 #PL season on 12 September

The final match round of the campaign will take place on 23 May

The Premier League will continue to consult with
@FA
and
@EFL
regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions

Will be an interesting start to all FF comps if the teams still in Europe have a delayed start.

We'll all pile into Liverpool and co.

I think the TW will be open until early October.

Also there is something about players having 21 days off between seasons - not that I know when the E\CL Finals are.

Last-16 ties in the Europa League - featuring Manchester United and Wolves - resume on 5 August, with the final scheduled to take place on 21 August.

Remaining Champions League last-16 ties resume from 7 August, with Manchester City and Chelsea still in the competition.

The final will take place on 23 August.

And the end of the season is mad with the Euros starting in Mid July a few weeks after the Leagues and with E\CL Finals to fit in.


They are also going to try to play that National League thing this summer.

Excerpt:

If the proposals go through as planned, should Manchester City or Chelsea make the Champions League final on Sunday August 23, their first Premier League game would not be until Tuesday September 22 - 10 days after the official start of the new season.

For Manchester United and Wolves, if they qualify for the Europa League final on Friday August 21, their first Premier League game of the new season could not take place before Sunday September 20.

Is that a potential start of the season with a blank game week for 2/4/6 clubs?

Don't the players need to get some time off by law?

Think those not in Europe can now have 3 weeks off then a near 4 week pre-season.

I am sure it was 3 weeks from a late Euros\WC in the last few years. Jose made a big point of the time off, then Pep (from aged memory).

Are we actually out of the EU yet to By Pass this?
