The 31-game schedule will be played at WinSport Arena at Canada Olympic Park from Aug. 20-31, with 10 teams from around the world competing for gold. The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) announced the new dates for the world championship on April 30, and the 2021 edition of tournament will mark the eighth time Canada has hosted the event.

...

To maintain the safety of all participants and the greater community at large, all health and safety protocols and measures will be adhered to leading up to and for the duration of the tournament.

Teams are expected to arrive in Calgary on Aug. 10 and will immediately enter quarantine before resuming practices and possible pre-tournament games before the puck drops on Aug. 20. A full tournament schedule will be announced at a later date.
Under the current provincial re-opening plan, live crowds should be allowed by then, so it will be interesting to see if it's still a closed bubble or if they will allow any live spectators.
