The EFL are set to meet with their board this week to discuss the start date of the 2020/21 season.
Championship clubs are so far yet to learn when both their summer and the summer transfer window will end as the excitement grows ahead of the new season.
But the answers could be on their way as early as Wednesday with the EFL set to hold their weekly board meeting with the start of next season understood to be high on the agenda.
Reports have suggested that the start of the season could come during September with the transfer window stretching into October, but those dates are no more than speculation at this stage.
It is also expected that the Championship season will start as it has finished this term, behind closed doors.
Some clubs have budgeted cautiously ahead of next term as they prepare for a scenario in which no fans will be present until the half-way point.
