Premier League 2020/21 season start and end dates confirmed

The 2020/21 Premier League season will start on September 12, 2020 and end on May 23, 2021.

The 20 top-flight clubs gathered for their final shareholders' meeting of this season on Friday, with the final round of games taking place on Sunday.

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.

Across the course of these games, Liverpool have been crowned champions for the first time in Premier League history while Norwich City have been relegated.

The final two relegation places will be taken by two of Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth after the last round of games this weekend.

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.
