Bristol Bears’ 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership fixtures are out.
There are just 28 days between the final game of the 2019/20 season and the first game of the 2020/21 season as the Covid-19 pandemic has delivered two back-to-back seasons unlike anything we have seen before.
Midweek rugby is not done with in 2020/21 either with plans to play the Premiership Rugby Cup in between the packed weekends of league and European rugby.
Rather optimistically, it seems the schedule has not been set with restrictions on crowds at stadiums like we have seen since the restart of rugby in August, in mind with no apparent plans to show every game live as has been the case since Round 14 of the current season.
The date and times of the first six rounds of the 2020/21 competition have been set with BT Sport making their selections to be shown live on television.
