The Premier League and the EFL have been given the official Government green light to restart in June.
And they have also been told to thrash out a deal with television companies to ensure there are free-to-air matches when the competitions kick off again.
In the most definitive political approval of Project Restart and the EFL’s resumption plans, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden declared:
”The Government is opening the door for competitive football to return safely in June.
“This should include widening access for fans to view live coverage and ensure finances from the game's resumption supports the wider football family.”
“Today’s positive meeting I hosted with the football authorities progressed plans for the resumption of the professional game in England,” he said.
