The 2020–21 Bundesliga is the 58th season of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier football competition. It began on 18 September 2020 and will conclude on 22 May 2021.[1] The season was originally scheduled to begin on 21 August 2020 and conclude on 15 May 2021,[2] though this was delayed due to postponement of the previous season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fixtures were announced on 7 August 2020.[3]

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

On 3 September 2020, the DFL General Assembly voted to extend the use of five substitutions in matches to the 2020–21 season, which was implemented at the end of the previous season to lessen the impact of fixture congestion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The use of five substitutes, based on the decision of competition organisers, had been extended by IFAB until 2021.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season is expected to begin with matches behind closed doors or at reduced capacity due to restrictions across German states. Leipzig will allow up to 8,500 spectators to begin the season, while regulations in Berlin allow for up to 5,000 supporters.[6]
