The Chinese Football Association recently sent a letter of consultation to clubs in the three leagues to resume home and away games in the new season.
After the expansion, the new season of the Chinese Super League needs to carry out 34 rounds of competition if it implements home and away matches. According to the current plan, this year's league will be held from April 23 to November 13, to ensure that the format is reasonable and the schedule is complete.

However, from the perspective of epidemic prevention, the cities where each team is located may be in different situations, so different epidemic prevention policies will be adopted. Therefore, the plan of home and away matches must still be approved by higher departments, otherwise it cannot be implemented. In other words, there are still variables in the format and schedule of the new season.
