Premier League announce start and end dates for 2020/21 season

The Premier League have announced the much-awaited start and end dates for the 2020/21 season.

2019/20 will draw to a close on Sunday when the Gameweek 38+ fixtures are played while European competitions will continue into August.

But we finally know how long of a gap we will have between our next two Fantasy Premier League deadlines.

Saturday, September 12 has been confirmed as the first day of the 2020/21 campaign, a little under two months after the end of 2019/20.

The next season is expected to have a similar level of compression that football fans have experienced since June 17 in order to finish in time for Euro 2020, set to be staged next summer.

Sunday, May 23 has been given as the date of completion for 2020/21, less than a few weeks after the usual climax of a Premier League season.

That should is sure to mean more short turnarounds between Gameweeks as of September…

As things stand, there is no confirmation on how FA and EFL competitions will integrate with the Premier League’s recently announced dates.

Premier League Shareholders today agreed to start the 2020/21 Premier League season on 12 September. The final match round of the campaign will take place on 23 May. The Premier League will continue to consult with the FA and EFL regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions.” – Premier League statement

    Sept 12 means a decent chance of DGW heaven as teams in Europe may well get a later start given the need for 3 weeks rest.

        It is

        But it requires teams to start immediately after a 3 week break - no training. There was something in the news a bit back that the Euro teams wanted a later start

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For the final time of the season, we need our Community Champion!

    As a reminder, each week our Scout picks tournament pits a different community champion against the Scout Picks team. The Community Champion is randomly selected from a lottery each week, who must then submit an XI (including a captain) who fulfils the standard FPL rules including being in a playable formation and costs no more than 85m.

    Whichever Gameweek champion beats the Scout’s team by the largest margin will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and entry to Fantasy Football Scout's Mods and Cons league for next season.

    If you're interested in applying, email Geoff (geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk) with your FFS username and FPL Team ID.

    As it's the last week, we know the winner will either be this week's champion, or the mighty gwitbrock who won by an impressive 23 points in their tie in Gameweek 25.

    But with the insanity that is GW38 on the horizon, is there a better chance to test your ability to find the perfect differentials?

    The Champion will be selected at 10am Saturday morning (UK time), and they'll then have 24 hours (so to 10am Sunday morning) to submit their team.

    Best of luck!
