From someone who works at BT
You’ve probably heard the news about the Premier League returning next month, but to fill you in on the details, here’s the official statement:
Shareholders agree to provisional date of 2019/20 season resuming on 17 June, provided all safety requirements are in place

The main headline for us is that all 92 matches will be televised. We have eight games left to show this season under the normal contract and Sky have 39, these will be shown on the channels as usual. The remaining 45 matches will be split between Sky, BT, Amazon and the BBC, so far it’s been announced that four will be live on the BBC and an additional 25 will be on Sky (they will put them on their Pick freeview channel and simulcast on Sky Sports). Hasn’t yet been announced how the remaining 16 games are split between BT and Amazon but it’ll probably be an extra dozen matches for us, so 20 matches in total over a six-week period.
The first games to be played will be the two games in hand on 17 June to have all teams on an equal number of games played, and then a full round of fixtures for the weekend starting Friday 19th.
Weekend matches will be scheduled as follows
Friday - 20:00
Saturday - 12:30, 15:00, 17:30 and 20:00
Sunday - 12:00, 14:00, 16:30 and 19:00
Monday - 20:00
