Leeds United given dates for historic Premier League campaign

United are heading for top-flight football for the first time since the club's relegation in May 2004 having romped to the Championship title by finishing ten points clear of second-placed West Brom.

United's season and 16-year stay in the EFL only ended on Wednesday after a 15-week pause to the campaign due to the country's battle against coronavirus and Premier League Shareholders have now agreed to start the 2020/21 Premier League season on September 12.

The final match round of the campaign will take place on May 23 next year and the Premier League will continue to consult with the FA and the EFL regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions.

The current Premier League season will finish with the final round of games on Sunday with ten 4pm kick-offs.

The EFL have also confirmed that the 2020/21 EFL Season will also get underway across the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two on the weekend of September 12.

The 2020/21 EFL season will conclude on the May 8 and May 9 2021, with the Sky Bet play-off finals reverting back to the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.
