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.
The season will conclude on 22 May 2022, with all 10 games kicking off
simultaneously.
The current 2020-21 Premier League season did not start until September 12
as a result of delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and will run until May
23 this year.
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.
