The flip side to that is that it's on both the Premier League and Government to sort this out and mainly the Premier League to decide what's what. Obviously Sky are probably the best placed to already know what the PL are discussing but there's still options available. The lack of International football and cancelling the Euros would open some gaps.

Cancel Euros to 2021. Play remaining Champions League / Europa League ties as one off matches instead of two legs (in selected Euro 2020 stadiums?). Possibly even with quarters/semi/final played over 8 days or so in June/July. Frees up more time.
Shorter preseason (none of these overseas trips) and abandon cup competitions for next season.
Between all that you buy a couple of months worth of dates. Maybe three.

Even more outlandish:
Start next season with the remaining games from this season - with the results valid in 19/20 and 20/21. Once those 19/20 fixtures are done promote / relegate as appropriate and play out the remaining games for 20/21 - for the promoted/relegated teams have the corresponding fixture in the second half of the season to the one they missed at the start worth double points to them. Yes I know this would mean they didn’t have the opportunity to play everyone home and away.
