Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions in 2020-21 with three games to spare and their rivals are already plotting the overthrow of Pep Guardiola and Co. next season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United will have designs on glory, while the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool will be desperate to set things straight in 2021-22.

It may be a few months between the end of the season and the start of a new one, but with Euro 2020 in between, it will surely fly for football fans.

So, with the season ending and anticipation of the new one already building, Goal brings you everything you need to know.

When will Premier League 2021-22 start?

The Premier League 2021-22 season will begin on Saturday August 14, 2021.

It will kick off roughly a month after the conclusion of Euro 2020, with the tournament final taking place on July 11, meaning some players will have a very short break before getting back into pre-season mode.

Ordinarily, footballers have around two months of an off-season before returning for pre-season training a month before the season is due to commence.

Scheduling has returned to normal following the disruption to the 2020-21 season caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw the campaign start date moved back a month to September 2020.
