The 2020-21 Premier League and English Football League seasons will start on 12 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the top flight, the campaign will end on 23 May, while the Championship, League One and League Two seasons will culminate on 8 and 9 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next season’s play-off finals will take place on the final weekend in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current Premier League season will end on Sunday after it was suspended for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The regular Championship season concluded on Wednesday, with the play-offs finishing on 4 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most League One and League Two teams have not played since March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Premier League said it would “continue to consult” with the Football Association and EFL “regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the start date for teams still playing in European competitions is still under discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It remains possible they will be given a delayed start, given they could be playing well into August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remaining Champions League last-16 ties resume from 7 August, with Manchester City and Chelsea still in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final will take place on 23 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
