There will be no football played in England this weekend but there are still plenty of matches from across Europe being shown on live TV in the UK.
On Friday, the Premier League, English Football League and Women’s Super League confirmed that all fixtures scheduled to take place on Saturday, Sunday and Monday would be postponed as a mark of respect following the Queen’s passing.
i understands that next weekend’s Premier League matches could also be under threat of cancellation due to enormous pressure on the police for the Queen’s funeral which could take place on Monday 19 September. Other sports in England including Rugby Union and League, Cricket and Horse Racing resumed on Saturday.
The Football Association’s decision to call off all matches from the Premier League down to grassroots level has drawn criticism in some quarters, but supporters will still be able to get their football fix this afternoon from the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga.
