It comes with notable changes in the fact it will be behind closed doors, viewers will be able to play sounds into stadiums and stands of some clubs will be full of cardboard fans.
The weekend will fill normal again, with matches throughout Saturday and Sunday, and Match of the Day returns.
33 of the 92 games left to play in the Premier League will be available on free-to-air TV, two-thirds will be behind the usual Sky and BT paywall.
However, an online double deal means fans can watch three months of football on TV for less than £18 or a day for just £4, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A new offer has emerged from Now TV after they removed the Weekly passes option and instead replaced it with a new discount placed on their Monthly Passes.
Usually priced at £33.99, Now TV are offering a 25% discount on the 11 Sky Sports channels between now and the end of the season.
Fans can make additional savings when shopping through Topcashback, with their website is giving £7.42 back on all Now TV purchases for all members.
Combining this with the £25 a month deal, this works out at gaining access for just £17.58.
The offer cover the remaining Championship fixtures for the 2019/20 season, as well as those playoff fixtures including Leagues One and Two.
Using the day pass, Now TV’s deal using Topcashback takes the price to less than £4 for a day of sport.
Elsewhere, rolling 31-day contracts are also available on select Sky Sports Packages and BT Sport Packages.
Among the new features to enhance the viewer’s experience when watching matches on Sky Sports is ‘Choose a Chant’ via an app which has been designed to allow viewers to play songs in the stands of matches.
The broadcaster has revealed this will be available in their Fanzone and Watchalong options for their coverage of the Premier League when it returns in the matter of days.
Fans will be able to feel like they’re in a stadium by choosing football chants on Sky Sports with alternative ways to watch on select matches out of their 64 televised fixtures throughout the next few months.
Fans can use the ‘Crowds’ feature via Sky Sports Main Event on all but two of 22 currently scheduled live on Sky games, with the Crowds feature switching to Sky Sports Premier League for Burnley vs Watford (June 25) and Bournemouth vs Newcastle (July 1).
It allow fans to vote on which songs should be played while the game is in action with supporters having a choice from clubs’ well known favourites to player-specific chants.
The new Zoom-like ‘Fanzone’ feature on Sky Sports’ website and app allows fans to watch matches with mates and/or family on video.
The broadcaster has also confirmed crowd noise will be available on all 64 of their games.
Sky Sports managing director Rob Webster said last week:
“With live sport on hold for over two months, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we broadcast in new ways to bring fans together, even if they can’t meet up to watch the match.
“Sky has always been a leader in innovative sports broadcasting, and we’re excited by this opportunity to share something really special with the whole nation. We want Sky Sports viewers to still feel it all and have the best possible viewing experience – even if they can’t be in the stadiums or watch with their family and friends.”
Fake crowd noise and digital fans was part of viewing experience in the Bundesliga and LaLiga recently.
It seems to be controversial, but I’m a big fan of the fake crowd noise in these behind closed door games.
Definitely adds something, especially to moments/goals like this last minute winner from Haaland today. pic.twitter.com/b0U2AI9pzJ

I have a weekly voucher which I was going to use for the week during the league 1 playoffs. I bought it through Curry’s/pc world. Will this still be valid?
