Elite football in Britain has been suspended until at least 3rd April as a result of the spread of COVID-19.

All games in England's Premier League, EFL, FA Women's Super League and Women's Championship are postponed.

The English Premier League says the competition will start on 4th April subject to conditions at the time but BBC sports editor Dan Roan says resuming on the date is privately deemed almost impossible.

Matches in Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland are also off.

England's international friendly matches against Italy on 27 March and Denmark four days later are off.

The EFL, which hopes to resume play a day earlier than the Premier League on 3rd April says clubs were also advised to suspend non-essential activities such as player appearances, training ground visits and fan meetings.
