I did see your post JAS84. I was thinking that SKY and BT Sport would show all the last day fixtures between them. I know the BBC are showing four live matches, but do we know from which weekends?
If the BBC haven't got a live match on the last weekend of fixtures, they'll probably have a final score with reporters covering all the matches. Also it would be good if they had an extended edition of Match Of The Day.

Alleged list of fixtures for the early matches in Operation Restart (FA Cup matches included), official announcements tomorrow.

Very similar to what The Times has just published, with a few differences in who's showing what. Both have what appear to be errors - the above has Chelsea v Man City on Sky when it was originally a BT pick back in March (and it looks like those original picks are staying), while the Times list has only one FA Cup quarter-final on the BBC, which wouldn't be right.

Both have Norwich v Everton on the BBC at 6pm on Weds 24th, expect there'll be some speculation over whether they'd put it on BBC 1 or 2.

The Times article notes that 4-6 of the fixtures are likely to change once the police and local authorities have had their say.

I know the BBC have put football matches on BBC Two but I think for the first PL matches on the BBC for the first time ever, they’d want them on BBC One.

We know the Six can’t be moved no matter what though and that’s before you start to think about the regions!

I guess we're getting to the time of year where the Six would be getting shunted around a bit anyway - though this time it's for a known quantity rather than a tennis match that's just about to finish. A shortened version at 1730 or 2000?

Will they want a prematch buildup? Could be moved as early as 1700 if so

I suppose it also depends if we are still having daily briefings then.

It's already been announced they're knocking them on the head at weekends as apparently they are "bloody boring".
