Premier League clubs have discussed the idea of staging Saturday night games.
The league have pledged to broadcast at least 190 games per season when they negotiate television rights for the 2019-20 season onwards — an increase of at least 22 on the 168 in the current agreement.
The total number of televised matches could reach upwards of 200.
Chairmen of all 20 top-flight clubs met at a shareholders’ meeting in Harrogate last Thursday where the idea was mooted to make some of the extra games aired at 7.
