Football matches kicking off at 3pm will be shown on air if the coronavirus forces matches behind closed doors, reports claim, with the FA set to lift their blackout of afternoon fixtures in such an event.
The disease has been causing havoc across the world and has impacted sport in a number of countries, with both Ligue 1 and Serie A games set to be played in empty stadiums until April.
But while the Premier League has not yet followed similar measures in banning fans from games, the FA are likely to allow fans to watch 3pm games if the decision is made to play on without them, according to the Times.
