Football is back baby
All 92 remaining Premier League matches will be televised, it was announced on Thursday afternoon.
The English top flight will return on June 17, with games to be staggered across the weekend, with 10 different kick-off times.
All of those games will be shown live by the Premier League’s existing broadcast partners: Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport and Amazon Prime.
The BBC are only getting four, but still. It’ll be the first time in the division’s history, since 1992, that a game will be shown live on the national broadcaster.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: “Sadly, matches will have to take place without fans in stadiums, so we are pleased to have come up with a positive solution for supporters to be able to watch all the remaining 92 matches.
“The Premier League and our clubs are proud to have incredibly passionate and loyal supporters. It is important to ensure as many people as possible can watch the matches at home.
“We will continue to work step-by-step and in consultation with all our stakeholders as we move towards resuming the 2019/20 season.”
With no 3pm kick-offs and no fans in stadiums, matches can be broadcast live across the following times:
Friday 20:00
Saturday 12:30, 15:00, 17:30; 20:00
Sunday 12:00, 14:00, 16:30; 19:00

Midweek matches will be scheduled as follows (all times BST):
Tuesday 18:00; 20:00

The football is officially going on forever.
