Fans are set to return to sporting events from Monday, May 17, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined his road map for easing coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

From May 17, indoor events will be capped at 50 per cent capacity or 1,000, whichever is lower, and for outdoor events this will be 50 per cent capacity or 4,000, whichever is lower.



Supporters have been prevented from attending sporting venues across England since the scrapping of the tier system in December.



The proposals rule out the possibility of fans attending any further regular-season matches in the EFL, but it would mean the final weekend of the Premier League season, set to be played on Sunday, May 23, could potentially be played in front of a limited number of fans.



"We also look forward to working with Government and other sports on the safe return of fans to stadiums."

Although the FA Cup final is set to be played on Saturday, May 15 - two days before the initial plans to allow fans to return, it could be used as a test event.

However, the Prime Minister has now revealed plans in the House of Commons to ease restrictions step-by-step across the whole country simultaneously instead of on a regional basis.
