The Premier League has received the go-ahead from the United Kingdom government to resume behind closed doors from June 1, according to UK Prime Minister.
This all comers after the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson eased lockdown restrictions.
The 50-page document includes "permitting cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed-doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact," but this cannot happen before June 1.
However, no fans will be allowed to attend the matches.
Fans in football stadiums "may only be fully possible significantly later depending on the reduction in numbers of infections," the report states.
"Some venues which are, by design, crowded and where it may prove difficult to enact distancing may still not be able to reopen safely at this point, or may be able to open safely only in part."
