Sky have confirmed that football fans will be able to pause their sports subscriptions as a result of the significantly reduced coverage on their platforms due to the coronavirus outbreak.
All professional football in England has been postponed until April 3 at the earliest, with schedules, as a result, being drastically impacted.
Both Sky and BT Sport previously stated that they would not be refunding customers who were missing out on their usual bumper of live sporting events.
But on Tuesday, Sky announced that subscribers to their sports channels can now pause their subscriptions without charge until football returns.
A statement from Sky, first published on WalesOnline, read: "While we expect that many of the recently postponed sports events will eventually go ahead, if you wish to pause your sports subscription in the meantime you will not be charged a fee to do so or be held to any notice period.
"Meanwhile we continue to provide high quality content across all of our 11 sports channels."
BT Sport are yet to confirm whether they will follow suit, but a statement from a spokesman on Friday indicated that they would not.
"We apologise to customers about the changes to the BT Sport schedule this month due to the impact of Covid-19,” the statement read.
"The situation is evolving rapidly and we are working with the leagues to continue to broadcast live sport wherever possible and broadcast games when they are rescheduled over the coming months.
“We will continue to broadcast a wide range of BT Sport content including films and documentaries and we will update our customers as we have a clearer view of the remainder of the season.”
