Premier League matches will be televised on BBC, kick-off times confirmed

As it was confirmed that the Premier League will resume on June 17, the kick-off times for the matches have been confirmed.

The Premier League confirmed that its shareholders agreed to restart providing that all of the requisite safety requirements are in place.

The first matches will be Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal, with the latter postponed due to the Carabao Cup final.

The first full match round will be on Friday 19 June. All games will be televised, including on BBC Sport and Amazon Prime.

Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal, postponed due to the Carabao Cup final, will now take place on 17 June, followed by a full match round beginning on Friday 19 June.

While the fixtures still to be confirmed, the Premier League have confirmed that the matches will be played at agreed times.

The games will take place as follows:

  • Friday matches will be played at 20:00
  • Saturday's matches will be at 12:30, 15:00, 17:30 and 20:00
  • Sunday's matches will be 12:00, 14:00, 16:30 and 19:00
  • Monday's Premier League matches will take place at 20:00
  • Midweek matches will be taking place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 18:00 and 20:00

Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: "Today we have provisionally agreed to resume the Premier League on Wednesday 17 June.

"But this date cannot be confirmed until we have met all the safety requirements needed, as the health and welfare of all participants and supporters is our priority.

"Sadly, matches will have to take place without fans in stadiums, so we are pleased to have come up with a positive solution for supporters to be able to watch all the remaining 92 matches."
