Premier League will restart on June 17 after 3-month COVID-19 shutdown

The Premier League has agreed on a date to resume play following the COVID-19 shutdown.

The league officially announced plans to restart on June 17 with two midweek matches before returning to a full schedule on June 20. The news was first reported by the Telegraph.

The two midweek matches will be Sheffield United at Aston Villa and Arsenal at Manchester City, which are both games in hand. That means those four teams have played 28 games, and every other team has played 29, so the playing field will be leveled before the full schedule resumes.
