In the evening hours of May 11, veteran soccer reporter Zhao Yu shared the latest news about the new season's Chinese Super League match system on his social media. He pointed out that the dust has settled on the three main divisions of the new Chinese Super League season, namely Dalian, Meizhou and Haikou, and that the league's fixture system will adopt a unique 8+8+8+10 points model, with the prospect of a return to the home-and-away system in the future.
Zhao Yu revealed in the article:
The new season of the Chinese Super League is expected to start in early June, when the three major divisions will have a fierce competition. Regarding the schedule, Zhao Yu revealed that a total of 34 rounds of matches are planned, using the 8+8+8+10 system. The first 8 rounds will be played in a closed area, and then the home and away system will be gradually restored. Given the late start of the tournament and the tight schedule, it is expected that the first 16 rounds of matches will be mainly concentrated in the district, providing teams with a short time to change the district. As for the exact timing of the resumption of the home-and-away system, it will have to be considered in the light of the actual situation. Under the influence of the epidemic, the start of the new Chinese Super League season will undoubtedly face many challenges.
