Premier League reveals dates for 2021/22 season

The start and finish dates for the next Premier League season have been announced, with the opening game taking place on August 14, with the final round of games all kicking off simultaneously on May 22, 2022

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.
