Live Saturday afternoon football could be back on our screens in mid-May and horse racing may soon follow but other sports face a slower return
The Premier League, which is suggesting a maximum of seven weeks to complete 92 matches, has set a tentative restart date of 13-14 June. The Football League’s proposed schedule is 56 days with 16 May the earliest requirement of players to return to training. Uefa’s executive committee has reportedly decided on Thursday that if leagues do not finish then qualification for Champions League/Europa League should be on sporting merit/points per game. For fans needing a football fix before that the German Bundesliga may return behind closed doors next month with BT set to show live Saturday afternoon football for the first time for over 50 years. A decision on the Bundesliga is expected later on Thursday.
