Confirmation of the final kick-off times for matches in November and December impacted upon by UEFA Europa League participation will be issued when the broadcast selections for the relevant month are announced.
So far, the Premier League have been showing every match on television during the first month of the 2020/21 season, and the last few months of the 2019/20 season.
The 3rd of October was supposed to see fans in the stands in test events, however with the number of coronavirus cases on the rise, those were abandoned.
The Premier League has announced that all non-televised fixtures until the end of October will now be made available live on pay-per-view in the UK.
The 20 clubs came to the interim decision after a meeting on Friday in order to “enable all fans to continue to watch their teams live”. Even Gary Neville is left raging with the decision.
Under these new arrangements, the current live match selections will remain in place and will be broadcast as normal.
In addition, the five matches per round not already selected will be made available to supporters on a pay-per-view basis, accessed via BT Sport Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office platforms.
Clubs today agreed this interim solution to enable all fans to continue to watch their teams live.
The Premier League has worked closely with Sky Sports and BT Sport to provide this arrangement and is grateful for their support.
The agreement will be regularly reviewed in consultation with clubs and in line with any decisions made by Government regarding the return of spectators to stadiums.
Football is not the same without supporters at matches. The Premier League and our clubs remain committed to the safe return of fans as soon as possible.
Fans reacted as the latest Premier League TV selections including 15 PPV Box Office matches were revealed…
Every football fan out of principle should refuse to buy any of the PPV Premier League games. Don’t buy them and they’ll be forced to look for an alternative. Let’s show Sky, BT and the Premier League what an appalling decision they’ve made. In Unity there is Strength!

Dear @premierleague , Nigeria has one of the highest number of Pl fans,majority of which are youths. However, these youths who support you are being harassed, brutalized & killed.
There won’t be fans if we’re all killed. Come to our aid, let the world know what’s going on here.— Sultan Of Ibadan???? (@IbadanSultan) October 9, 2020

Hang your heads in shame that is a nothing short of a disgrace, many people don’t even know if they have a job in coming months and you want to charge them further for games as if tv subscriptions aren’t already excessive!

I hate the @premierleague more and more it’s not about the fans, it’s about making a profit for your shareholders! I hope you go bankrupt and PIF sue you for everything you’ve got
