COVID-19—The Impact on English Football

Following a meeting of representatives from all English Premier League (EPL) clubs Friday April 3, it was announced that EPL fixtures were postponed indefinitely and would not be returning in May, as stated previously. The EPL announced that the 2019/20 football season would only resume when “it was safe and appropriate” to do so, subject to Government agreement and medical guidance. The English Football League (EFL) confirmed that the Championship, League One, and League Two would follow the EPL and that those leagues would also remain suspended for an indefinite period.
