"The significance of home crowds to clubs and fans also means that dates and venues in the back end of the campaign will be reviewed as the season progresses, in line with government advice and in discussion with our host broadcaster, Sky Sports."
The top-four play-offs are scheduled for mid/late-November, with the Grand Final at the end of that month.
