The 2021/22 Premier League season will begin on August 14 and finish on May 22, 2022, the league has announced.
After a condensed 2020-21 campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic, the league has revealed it will revert to its usual starting slot in the second week of August.
An earlier start date of August 7 had been reportedly discussed for the upcoming season, but clubs were against the idea due to the upcoming rescheduled Euro 2020 tournament – the final of which will take place on July 11.
Pushing the start back by one week means there is no overlap with the start of the English Football League season.
Earlier this month, the EFL announced the 2021-22 season will begin on the weekend of August 7.
In a statement, the EFL said the first fixture of the new campaign would likely be televised on Friday, August 6, with Sky Sports to broadcast 138 live games across the season.
When is the summer transfer window?
The Premier League says no decision has been made over dates of this summer’s transfer window, but they must take place between June 9 and August 31 in line with FIFA rules.
The league is considering another extension for transfer deals between its clubs and those in the EFL, similar to that which took place in 2020.
Last year’s main summer window closed on October 5, but deals between top-flight and EFL sides were permitted through to October 16, and a repeat is possible this summer. (Sky Sports)
