The Premier League Has a Firm Plan to Return

Premier League football will return on June 17, so long as all safety requirements are in place, the clubs decided at a meeting on Thursday. That a resumption was imminent and had been expected after Wednesday’s vote to allow full-contact training, but the later meeting confirmed plans. All 92 remaining games will be broadcast in some form, including at least 29 on BBC and Sky, shown free-to-air. That marks the first time Premier League games will have ever been broadcast live on free-to-air television in the UK. (NBC Sports remains the viewers' choice in the USA).
