South Wales derby dates revealed as Cardiff City and Swansea City fans given hope of attending

The first South Wales derby of the 2020/21 Championship season will take place in the Welsh capital on December 12.

Cardiff City will host bitter rivals Swansea City in the final month of 2020, just 13 days before Christmas.

As for the reverse fixture, the Swans will battle it out with the Bluebirds at the Liberty Stadium on March 20 next year.

Both fixtures are currently scheduled to get under way at 3pm, although it's likely the kick-off times will be changed in conjunction with South Wales Police.

The later dates for this season's Welsh derbies will no doubt come as a boost to fans who now have a greater chance of attending the matches in person.

Supporters have not been at games in the second tier since the beginning of March, although they could well return to stands later this year if pilot events with crowds in England, the results of which are being monitored by the Welsh Government, are successful.
