The Premier League and the English Football League has been postponed further until April 30 but the season has been extended ‘indefinitely’ in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
A statement from the FA said: ‘The FA’s Rules and Regulations state that “the season shall terminate not later than the 1 June” and “each competition shall, within the limit laid down by The FA, determine the length of its own playing season”.
‘However, our Board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019-20 season in relation to professional football. Additionally, we’ve collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than Thursday 30 April.
‘The progress of COVID-19 remains unclear and we can reassure everyone the health and welfare of players, staff and supporters are our priority.’
