The 202021 Premier League will be the 29th season of the Premier League, the top English professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1992. Liverpool are the defending champions, having won their nineteenth league title the previous season, their first in the Premier League era. The season was initially scheduled to start on 8 August,but this was delayed until 12 September as a consequence of the postponement of the previous season's conclusion due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
It will be the second Premier League season to have a mid-season break in February, whereby five games of a normal round of ten will be played on one weekend and the remaining five the following weekend.It will also be the second Premier League season to use VAR.As was the case at the end of the previous season, there will be limited or no attendance from fans in the stadiums besides each team's staff and personnel.

The Reds have booked their place in the first game of the domestic season for the second year running after clinching the Premier League title.
In 2019, they took part due to Man City winning both the league and the FA Cup, but this month brings a more traditional matchup after Arsenal won the FA Cup on Saturday.
Mikel Artetas side will be the opposition at Wembley on Sunday, August 29, therefore, in a game that will kick off Liverpools seasontwo weeks before their title defence begins.
Liverpool have won the Community Shieldor the Charity Shield, as it was previously knowna total of 15 times in their history, with their most recent triumph being in 2006.
On five occasions they have shared the trophy, due to draws with West Ham (1964), Man United (1965, 1977 and 1990) and Everton (1986).

Tottenham borrow 175m from Bank of England amid coronavirus crisis
The use of a Covid Corporate Financing Facility has allowed the Premier League club to borrow the nine-figure sum amid the pandemic
Tottenham have borrowed 175 million from the Bank of England to help ease the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Spurs estimate they will lose 200m in the period up to June 2021 as a result of their new stadium being unable to host matches with fans in attendance.
As well as their own games being impacted, other sporting and cultural events which were due to be held at the venue have been cancelled.
Among the cancelled occasions at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium were two NFL fixtures, Anthony Joshua's world heavyweight championship boxing match against Kubrat Pulev and a Lady Gaga concert. Spurs also have a rebate to broadcasters to pay after three months without any Premier League action.
The 175m in funding has been borrowed through a Covid Corporate Financing Facility, which Tottenham were eligible for. It is repayable at an interest rate of 0.5 per cent.
Manager Jose Mourinho previously said Tottenham are "not going to spend rivers of money" on transfers, and these funds will not be used to sign new players, instead providing financial flexibility.
"We have always run this club on a self-sustaining commercial basis," said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. "I said as early as 18 March that, in all my 20 years at the club, there have been many hurdles along the way but none of this magnitude - the Covid-19 pandemic has shown itself to be the most serious of them all.
"It is imperative that we now all work together - scientists, technologists, the government and the live events sector - to find a safe way to bring spectators back to sport and entertainment venues.
"Collectively we have the ability to support the development of new technologies to make this possible and to once again experience the passion of fans at live events."
In April, Tottenham reversed their decision to use the government's furlough scheme amid a backlash from fans.
Spurs initially planned to use the system for 550 non-playing staff during the Covid-19 crisis, but after the reversal of the decision, Spurs insisted all affected staff would receive full pay in April and May, with only board members – including Levy – taking monetary reductions.
