Major changes to English football schedules – The World Game
Big changes have been made to the English football schedules to help ease fixture congestion caused in the shorter 2020-21 season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League will begin one month later than usual because of the July finish to its delayed 2019-20 campaign, and the UEFA competitions continuing to August 23.
Replays in the FA Cup have been scrapped “to assist in easing pressure” on the tight program, the Football Association said on Thursday.
In the English League Cup, two-leg semi-finals have been replaced by a single match in January.
Also, the first four rounds are scheduled to take place on consecutive weeks in September.
