Subscription-based Sky Sports will have 64 of the remaining games with 25 of those matches broadcast on free channels.The Premier League was suspended on Mar 13 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic but teams returned to small group training last week and on Wednesday voted unanimously to return to contact training, including tackling.
