Coronavirus premier league and english football league suspend all games until april 3
That's correct! On March 13, 2020, the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) announced that all matches in the top four tiers of English football would be suspended until April 3, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was made after a meeting between the Premier League, EFL, and the Football Association (FA) to discuss the ongoing situation. The suspension was made to help prevent the spread of the virus and to prioritize the health and safety of players, staff, and fans.
The suspension affected all matches in the Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two, and the FA Cup, including the quarterfinals and semifinals. The decision was made after several Premier League clubs had reported cases of COVID-19 among their players and staff.
The suspension was later extended until April 30, 2020, and then again until May 25, 2020, before the season was eventually curtailed and the remaining matches were cancelled. The 2019-2020 season was ultimately declared null and void, with no champion or relegation/promotion between leagues.
