The Premier League 2020/21 season has been given the all clear to resume on 12th of September.
The final round for the current campaign would come to a close on Sunday with all matches played at the same time.
With the coronavirus taking a global toll in almost all aspects, football was not left out as a forced three-month break had to come in play.
The Premier League then resumed action on June 17 and had to find a way to sandwich remaining games.
A flurry of games has seen the campaign completed as quickly as possible, with every effort being made to limit the impact on future events.
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.”
