COVID-19: Premier League Suspension Extends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

English football will be suspended until at least 30 April because of the ongoing spread of <\/strong>COVID-19<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All games in England\u2019s Premier League, EFL, Women\u2019s Super League and Women\u2019s Championship, and all fixtures in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, are currently postponed.<\/p>\n

The Football Association has also agreed that the current season can be \u201cextended indefinitely\u201d.<\/p>\n

Under current rules the season had been scheduled to end on 1 June.<\/p>\n

A joint statement issued by the FA, Premier League and EFL expressed \u201ca commitment to finding ways of resuming the 2019-20 season\u201d and completing all domestic and European matches \u201cas soon as it is safe and possible to do so\u201d.<\/p>\n

The postponement of\u00a0Euro 2020\u00a0has opened up a window for domestic league fixtures to take place in June.<\/p>\n

However, the UK government has effectively banned sports events for the time being by advising against mass gatherings.<\/p>\n

Last week, West Ham vice-chair Karren Brady said the current season should be declared\u00a0null and void.<\/i><\/p>\n

FA chairman Greg Clarke also expressed his concern that it might prove impossible for the season to be concluded.<\/p>\n

However Brighton chief executive Paul Barber told the BBC that it would be \u201cunjust\u201d if runaway leaders Liverpool were denied the title, and suggested increasing the league to 22 teams for 2020-21.<\/p>\n

Fifa has also established a\u00a0working group\u00a0to tackle the issues facing football as a result of the pandemic. The group will look at the international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts.<\/p>\n

Player contracts typically expire on 30 June but many leagues, if resumed, look likely to continue beyond that date.<\/p>\n
