With fans prohibited from entering the stadium for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus pandemic, TV broadcast and live streaming could become the new habit of watching games.

In the UK, all the Premier League matches are being televised by Sky Sports, BT Sports, BBC and Amazon prime network.

For the first time in the Premier League era, BBC is telecasting games, and it is free for all the viewers in the UK.

Gary Lineker, the former great England striker turned popular football pundit, has tweeted that an audience of 5.7 million has watched Sunday’s game between Southampton and Manchester City.

He has claimed that it’s the most-watched Premier League match of all-time.

With an audience of 5.7 million on the BBC the @SouthamptonFC v @ManCity game was the most watched Premier League match of all-time. Can’t believe it took us so long.
