Fans of Russian football are eagerly awaiting the start of the Russian Premier League season 2021-2022, studying the schedule of matches and the standings. Given the tight constraints, there is a risk that many tournament matches could be played without spectators.

Russian Football Championship RPL 2021-2022

On July 25, 2021, the 30th season of the Russian Premier League 2021-2022 opens. 16 domestic clubs take part in the Russian championship, 14 of which play in the major league, and 2 in the FNL. The two domestic teams that took first and second places in the results of the matches held within the RPL receive tickets to the Champions League, the clubs that took the 3rd and 4th places will move to the Europa League, and the teams that took the 15th and 16th e place, drop out of the major league in the FNL.

According to the results of the last season, two new clubs got to the RPL - Krylya Sovetov from Samara and FC Nizhny Novgorod.

The new RPL season will begin on July 25, 2021 and end on May 22, 2022. The games will have to be held in a difficult epidemiological situation, so there is a high probability that some matches may be played without spectators. This has already been announced by representatives of the Spartak club, pointing out that the game with the Rubin team will take place in front of empty stands.

Despite the fact that the main favorites in the 30th RPL season are the well-known Russian football clubs, experts promise that football at the Russian Premier League of the 2021-2022 season, judging by the schedule of matches and the standings, will be interesting and unpredictable.

Famous Russian FCs are the main contenders for the victory:

Zenit, the winner of the previous 29th RPL season;
Moscow "Spartak", which took second place in the last major league tournament;
Lokomotiv, which won the bronze medal in 29 RPLs;
CSKA.

Fans of Dynamo, Kazan Rubin, Krasnodar and the Sochi team expect a beautiful game from their football clubs. The appearance in the Major League of new football teams from the FNL (Samara Krylia Sovetov and Nizhniy Novgorod) introduces an element of unpredictability into the championship.

For the first time in its history, the Nizhny Novgorod team made it to the top league. Krylya Sovetov Samara regained their status as an elite football club after spending a season in the FNL.

RPL was established in 2001. The two-round tournament is held according to the autumn-spring scheme.
