The new season's schedule and venues for the Chinese Super League have been up in the air due to the epidemic. Recently, it was rumored that Kunming, due to the pressure of epidemic prevention and control, is unwilling to serve as the host of the Chinese Super League this season.

Meizhou, although the site needs some renovation, but the willingness to host the tournament is strong; Dalian, regardless of the site or experience in hosting the tournament are first-class, no surprise, Dalian is expected to undertake the super A two-tier league. Originally as the third tournament in Kunming, due to the epidemic and epidemic prevention pressure, the local government of the hosting tournament concerns, after many rounds of negotiations, has not been able to reach a consensus, the Chinese Football Association had to find another way out.
