The top-tier ban will also allow clubs to provide season ticket holders with match-day codes to stream home matches, similarly to last season.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0The Times, the Premier League was considering maintaining its original contracts with\u00a0<strong>BT Sport<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Sky Sports<\/strong>, which would result in 40 per cent of the games this season not being televised. However, over fears of fans illegally streaming fixtures, the tournament organisers have opted to negotiate with broadcasters over airing all the fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that the 3pm blackout has been voided with the rule also being lifted during the Premier League\u2019s Project Restart last campaign. As a result all remaining Premier League games were aired on a variety of channels and platforms including the\u00a0<strong>BBC<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Twitch<\/strong>\u00a0alongside BT Sport and Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the 2019\/20 campaign, the Premier League will not ask broadcasters to make some games free-to-air, which eventually resulted in Sky Sports airing fixtures on Pick.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper has also reported that the 3pm blackout is only being lifted temporarily and will be imposed again once fans return to grounds.<\/p>\n<p>It has already been confirmed that the\u00a0<strong>EFL<\/strong>\u00a0will allow non-Sky Sports televised matches to be streamed by its clubs, following an agreement with the broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of its partnership, EFL fans can pay \u00a310 per match to see their team\u2019s home fixtures. Alternatively season ticket holders will gain access to every home game whilst crowds are banned from stadiums.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"author__bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"comment\">Comment<\/label><br \/>\n<textarea aria-required=\"true\" cols=\"45\" id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" placeholder=\"Message\" rows=\"8\"><\/textarea><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"author\">Name<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"author\" name=\"author\" placeholder=\"Name...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"name\">Email<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"url\">Url<\/label><input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" placeholder=\"Website...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-cookies-consent\"><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\"\/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit\"><input class=\"submit\" id=\"comment-submit\" name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"\/> <input id=\"comment_post_ID\" name=\"comment_post_ID\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"20654\"\/> <input id=\"comment_parent\" name=\"comment_parent\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Daniels All behind-closed-door\u00a0Premier League\u00a0matches are set to be broadcast following the FA\u2019s confirmation that the traditional\u00a0Saturday 3pm TV blackout\u00a0will be lifted for the start of the 2020\/21 campaign.
