The Premier League 2020/21 season has been given the all clear to resume on 12th of September.

The Premier League has now decided that a seven-week break will be enough for top-flight teams before the start of another campaign.

A statement on the association’s official website read: “Premier League Shareholders today agreed to start the 2020-21 Premier League season on 12 September 2020.

“The final match round of the campaign will take place on 23 May 2021.

“The Premier League will continue to consult The FA and EFL regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions.”
