It is extremely unlikely that the league will start in the first half of May, and even in the middle of the season is almost impossible. According to the analysis of those involved in the preparations for the new season

The earliest start of the league could be delayed until the end of May.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Super League clubs are actively preparing for the match. For example, two teams, Shenhua and Harbour, are scheduled to travel to Dalian for the match on May 7 and 8 and undergo medical isolation observation in accordance with regulations. This also means that if all the teams start at the same time, the earliest start time will be postponed to the end of this month.
According to the tournament organizers, the two Shanghai teams will be placed in the same group in the first stage of the new season. The other teams will be grouped according to the principle of "serpentine arrangement".
If the new season

The start of the league has been postponed to the end of May or even June, so will the schedule of the league be further shortened and will the number of rounds be reduced? In this regard, the organizers of the tournament said that they will "ensure that all 34 rounds will be completed". Since it is unlikely that the Chinese team will schedule any training or matches during the international match day cycle from May 30 to June 14, it is unlikely that the new season will be as long as the Chinese team has the opportunity to play.
