Premier League matches on free-to-air TV

The Premier League has reportedly backed plans to finish the 2019-20 season by July 31.

92 fixtures remain in the campaign, and the UK Government has called on the organisation to make all of those matches available to view from home – with some on free-to-air TV and live streaming services.

The Mail and the Sun reports that the Premier League agreed with the July 31 deadline outlined by Uefa in Wednesday’s conference call with its 55 committee members.

Should this become official, then the Champions League and Europa League finals will be staged in August, allowing the season to be concluded during the timeframe preferred by Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin.
