Some Premier League games could be shown on free-to-air television when professional football returns in England, says Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden.
He told BBC Breakfast the English top flight would only resume once it is safe to do so, with 12 June slated as a potential date - though there is a feeling among clubs that this may be pushed back.
There is a blanket ban on broadcasting 15:00 kick-offs in the UK but Mr Dowden says, because the matches will be played with no spectators, those slots could be available for free-to-air viewing.
"We are looking at increasing the number of matches that are free-to-air so people wouldn't be tempted to leave their houses to watch it," he said.

Premier League players to train in small groups
Premier League football clubs have agreed to allow players to start training in small groups from Tuesday.
The league has been suspended since March and players have only been able to train individually.
But now clubs have voted to allow the first stage of the return to training protocol, which allows players to train in small groups with social distancing rules in place and contact banned.
The Premier League is aiming to restart on 12 June but some clubs want that date pushed back to allow players to regain their fitness.
The German Bundesliga became the first major European football league to restart over the weekend behind closed doors.
