Football across England’s top four divisions has been played behind closed doors since its return in June, following the first coronavirus lockdown.
The Premier League said it welcomed the prospect of fans returning in “small numbers” but it hoped to work with the government to increase this to more “substantial levels” to stop clubs operating “at a financial loss”.
It added: “Our priority continues to be the agreement of a roadmap, with DCMS and the Sports Technology and Innovation Group, for pilot events that can help our clubs quickly scale up to larger capacities.”
