Fans have been given encouragement that some Premier League matches will be televised free-to-air after 'productive discussions' between the Government and English football authorities.
Oliver Dowden, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, believes such a deal could be a 'win-win situation' for supporters and football clubs.
Sky and BT Sport have exclusive rights to show live Premier League matches in the UK with the BBC holding a deal for highlights.
But with the planned resumption of top-flight football following the coronavirus suspension only possible behind closed doors, talks have been held over widening the television access.
