The competitions will proceed subject to COVID 19 guidance which is due to be released imminently by The Football Association, with the approval of DCMS.   The ESFA will keep member associations updated regarding this information.

In the meantime, associations are encouraged to make provisional arrangements for the first round of fixtures which are due to be played on Saturday 24 April.  It is critical for participating associations to understand that fixtures must be played on the scheduled play-on date and there will be no permission granted for matches to be played beyond the published dates as the ESFA is required to apply a strict date structure in order to successfully complete the competitions before the end of the summer term.  Matches can be played in midweek, before the deadline date, where there is a MUTUAL agreement in place between both teams.
