It's being reported that the league could be pushed back by a month.
A provisional calendar on the start of the 2021 inter county GAA season could be announced before the end of the month.
The National Football and Hurling leagues are due to begin on the last weekend in February, that looks set to be pushed back at least a month.
No decision has yet been made on the position of other competitions but recent reports suggest that the All-Ireland Series could follow the league with club competitions taking place in the Autumn.
A number of county finals remain outstanding in Laois and Offaly from the 2020 season and both county boards are seeking clarity from Croke Park on their priority.
Collective training for inter county teams around Ireland, including Offaly's senior sides is due to proceed in February.
