Live Saturday afternoon football to hit UK screens for first time in 50 years in just two weeks with Bundesliga on BT


BT Sport have exclusive access to air Bundesliga matches in the UK and, with the FA having already successfully requested for the blackout to be lifted during the coronavirus crisis, could show them on Saturday afternoons.

The German top-flight has played 25 matches so far and has just six points separating the top four teams.

That means there are still nine games to play, which would be manageable before the end of June if the current schedule is adhered to.

German teams are back training in small groups after strict coronavirus lockdown rules were lifted and clubs have brought in psychologists to prepare their players for the season restart in empty grounds.

Bundesliga chiefs recently published a 41-page safety guideline that must be followed if German football is to resume after the coronavirus crisis.

They explain how a minimum of 322 people would be required at a stadium at kick-off time for matches to be allowed to start.

German authorities have devised a strict timetable for when people would be at the stadium, starting at 8am for the traditional 3.30pm Saturday kick-off.

Bundesliga bosses, who have also written up strict guidelines covering match-day operations for team and stadium staff, and training ground regimes, have split the attendees into three precise zones, with only 100 or so allowed in any of the areas at one time.
