EPL Give Date for Fixtures Fixing
The English Premier League EPL have said they will release the fixtures for the 2020-21 Premier League season on Thursday. The League is expected to resume on the12th of September and culminate on 23 May 2021. The new season will be five weeks shorter than usual because of the late end to 2019-20 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a result, the Premier League has scrapped its winter break because of fixture congestion. English Premier League clubs involved in the latter stages of European cup competitions will be delayed to start 2020/21 season. The likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Wolves who all advanced beyond the Round of 16 will be delayed to start 2020/21 EPL season.
A 30-day break has generally been accepted, which would mean all three clubs will not start their campaigns on 12 September. Fixtures for the Championship, League One and League Two will all be released on Friday at 09:00 BST.
