Dates and fixtures have been revealed ahead of the comeback with two midweek matches set to kick off the restart in mid-June.

Why the Premier League should not return – is it worth it?

New government guidelines had inspired further conversations between representatives of the 20 clubs as they sought a solution to finishing the 2019/20 season.

Check out the latest updates on the return of the Premier League.

When will the Premier League return?

The Premier League will return on Wednesday 17th June with two 'games in hand' to be played before a full round of fixtures on the weekend commencing with one match on Friday 19th June and a batch scattered throughout the following days.

Regular midweek fixtures will also be introduced to ensure the season is wrapped up as quickly as possible.

The government had initially announced that professional sport would not return before 1st June and that will of course be the case.
