All 92 matches after last season re­started in June went out live on TV.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: “Our focus is to get fans back in stadia as quickly as possible.

“It is for the Premier League and its broadcast partners to come to an agreement on screening matches.

“However, we urge them to follow the spirit of Project Restart, listen to fans and consider what can be achieved.”
