The league had previously insisted that it would return to showing only selected games for the 2020-21 season, albeit with an increased total – up to 220 from 200 the year before.

With fans still unable to return to stadiums, however, and government yet to give the all-clear to a mooted partial return in October, the league has decided to temporarily change its approach.

Sky Sports and BT Sport have already selected 17 matches for live broadcast for the first three match rounds of the 2020-21 season. Of the remaining 11 matches, Sky Sports will broadcast an additional six, BT Sport a further three and BBC and Amazon Prime Video one each.
