KHL announces preliminary start date

The KHL has informed clubs of the planned start date for the 2020-21 Kontinental Hockey League season. The action is scheduled to begin on Sep. 2, 2020. 

The date has been agreed with the Russian Hockey Federation. However, the league also asks everybody to take note of the following: the start date for next season’s championship, first and foremost, depends on the on-going public health situation concerning the coronavirus pandemic and the continued easing of restrictions across Russia’s regions and in the other nations represented in the KHL.

The KHL continues to monitor the situation closely and, in the event of any changes in restrictions affecting the staging of games or any increased risk to the health of the participants of the championship, will respond swiftly to make any necessary adjustments to the schedule and circumstances of the season.
