BBC have been granted four televised Premier League fixtures as part of Project Restart. Match Of The Day and BBC Sport presenter Gary Lineker was buzzing as he responded to the news on Twitter by posting: "We’ll have 4 live Premier League games on @BBCSport.
The first time ever that we’ve had such an opportunity. Very exciting." Each and every one of the remaining 92 fixtures will be shown on either Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport or Amazon Prime in a bid to soften the blow of the matches being played behind closed doors.
As league bosses confirmed on Thursday evening, June 17 will signal the return of top flight football in England after more than two months of uncertainty.
