English Premier League returns to action in 30 minutes — 92 matches in 40 days
The richest soccer league in the world will restart with Aston Villa taking on Sheffield United at 6 p.m. British summer time, or 1 p.m. Eastern time, before Manchester City host Arsenal at 8:15 p.m. BST. The first full round of fixtures will kick off at the weekend.
The names on the back of the shirts will also be replaced by “Black Lives Matter” for the first 12 matches, following the death of George Floyd and worldwide protests that have resulted. The Championship — the English football league one notch below the Premier League — will resume on June 20, while League One and League Two have been curtailed with only a handful of playoff games set to decide promotion.The economic impact of soccer’s postponement will see a number of clubs plunged into financial trouble, while businesses, including pubs, shops and cafés around U.K. stadiums, have also suffered.
