(Reuters) - The English Football League's (EFL) chairman Rick Parry has told member clubs it needs about 56 days to complete the 2019-20 season and intends to conclude the campaign with the playoffs in all three divisions, British media reported on Thursday.

The EFL, which oversees the three divisions below the Premier League -- the Championship, League One and League Two --, also said matches may be held without fans in attendance.

"Whenever the decision is taken that it's safe to resume, we currently estimate that the League will require approximately 56 days to complete the outstanding matches in the season ," EFL chairman Parry was quoted as saying in a letter published on The Daily Mail website. "The EFL Board is currently working on the basis that the end-of-season playoffs will take place across all three divisions as normal... although no decision has been taken on the likely venue as it will depend on the circumstances at play at the time."

Clubs were also asked by the EFL in the letter to inform players they should take their annual leave now, while it will issue further updates on contracts and player registration.
