The English Premier League has finally figured out how it intends to finish up the 2019-2020 season after the pause for the coronavirus pandemic.
Games will start back up on June 17. They'll be played without crowds, though crowd noise will be piped in exactly like you'd hear playing a FIFA video game — because the sounds are from the FIFA video game. Yes, that's nuts, but it's also a heck of a lot more safe for everyone.
The first match day — which falls on a Wednesday — features Aston Villa vs. Sheffield United at noon Eastern time, followed by Man City vs. Arsenal at 3:15 p.m. Eastern. Both games will be available in the United States on NBCSN.
The ensuing match days span June 19-22, June 23-25, and June 27-July 2. Out of those 30 games, all but seven will be available on NBC or NBCSN; the remaining matches will be on NBC Sports Gold and Peacock — the latter is NBCUniversal's streaming service that's available now on Comcast Xfinity X1 and Flex platforms and will be more broadly available on July 15.

Live NBC is available on every major streaming service, as is NBCSN.
Liverpool, of course, will find itself still squarely atop the tables with 82 points when play resumes. Man City is 25 points behind with 57, and Leicester City has 53 points. Chelsea and Man United round out the Top 5 with 45 and 43 points, respectively. Only four points separate the next six places, though.
And there's still hope for the teams at the bottom of the table. Bournemouth (27 points), Aston Villa (25 points) and Norwich City (21 points) are facing relegation. But three more teams — Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United, and Watford — remain in real danger as well.
