“We are pleased to provide fans with further updates on the provisional restart of the Premier League season,” said the league’s chief executive, Richard Masters. “I am delighted we are able to take another positive step towards the season returning in just under two weeks’ time.
“We know it won’t be the same without our loyal supporters in stadiums but together with our broadcast partners, we are able to ensure fans can watch or listen to each match live from home.
“It is important that as many people as possible can access our games, so we are extremely happy that more than a third of our remaining fixtures will be televised free-to-air here in the UK.”
