The PSL and the South African Football Association (Safa) will have to find a suitable model that will twist the South African government's arm to allow football to return to the country.
This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa's address on Sunday that no sporting activities will be allowed even with the country set to move to Level 3 of the lockdown from June 1.
The PSL had hoped football would at least be allowed to return - even behind closed doors from Level 3 of the lockdown - while Safa maintained in their presentations that the season can only resume when the country gets to Level 1.
