When is the Premier League returning and what are the kick-off times

The Premier League is set to return on June 17 and a feast of televised football will follow as England's top flight works towards ending the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

All games will be behind closed doors and broadcast live by Sky Sports (64 matches), BT Sport (20), Amazon Prime (four) and BBC (four). It will be the first time BBC have been able to show live coverage of the Premier League, while Sky Sports have also announced 25 of their fixtures will be made available on free to air TV.

Fixtures will start at 8pm on a Friday and Monday, with Saturday matches at 12.30pm, 3pm, 5.30pm and 8pm. Sunday will be noon, 2pm, 4.30pm and 7pm, with Tuesday-Thursday slots scheduled for 6pm and 8pm.

Reports suggest Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal will restart the season on June 17 as those four teams play their game in hand before a full programme on June 19-21.
