Agreed, there will be 88 other games to watch - not forgetting the fa cup and European comps (if they resume)

Interesting the fa cup 1/4 finals seem to be in June bearing in mind the EPL need to finish Asap to reduce repayments to broadcasters you would have thought it would have been after EPL had finished on successive weekend?

Football has to market the overall product. At least those games have something at stake. Of the 92 EPL games I’d hazard a guess 70% of them will be the deadest of dead rubber. The minimum viable product to meet contractual obligations.

Pressure on BT now to come up with a similar gesture. Will look poor if BBC, Sky and Amazon are making games free to view and they don't

Strangely, they have said they won't make any of these 20 games free to air.

Interestingly, I believe they have agreed to pay Premier Rugby the full amount even if some/all games aren't played.

I'm not saying these won't be the confirmed fixtures, but the Sun is hardly a reliable source.

Not particularly, however PROVISIONAL fixtures for 17th June to 2nd July are in today's Telegraph

So it would seem they are highly likely to be correct.

Interestingly neither say which of Sky's games are free to air on Pick TV.
