The UAE Pro League has decided to start the 2020-21 football season with the Arabian Gulf Cup.

The tournament will begin on October 8, with the first match week of the Arabian Gulf League starting from October 16.

The UAE Pro League will soon announce the full schedule of its competitions, allowing enough time for all clubs to prepare for the new season.
