Bundesliga has returned; Premier League, La Liga, Serie A hoping to resume; Scottish Premiership, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie seasons over
Some football seasons are over but other leagues are making plans to return. This is the current situation around Europe.

England - Premier League
Jurgen Klopp arrives at Melwood in Liverpool, north west England to resume training on May 20, 2020, as training resumes after the Premier League was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Premier League is continuing to work towards a June return as training plans step up and testing continues.
Clubs have begun phase one training under strict social distancing measures but clubs now face a key vote on Wednesday May 27 over contact training.
The government has published its 'phase two' guidance for athletes and elite sportsmen and women to make a phased return to close-contact and competitive training, provided individual sports "have the appropriate carefully controlled medical conditions in place".
Two further positive tests were reported on Saturday, eight have been returned out of a total of 1,744 tests conducted in the first two rounds - with more testing due to take place on May 25 and May 26.
In a wide-ranging interview, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said clubs had discussed the need for four weeks of group training and admitted plans would be "flexible" when asked about a June 12 target to return to action.

EFL

Championship clubs are due to return to training from May 25 following the first round of testing.
Two individuals from Hull returned positive tests and will now self-isolate before being tested again. Players have been given the option of testing from home or being tested by club medical staff or external professionals.
There is still no testing programme or plan in place for League One or League Two clubs so they will not restart training yet however pitches can be opened for individuals to work on.
In terms of finishing the season the EFL board have looked at three different situations currently facing the Championship, League One and League Two, in determining how to conclude the 2019/20 campaign.
League One remains the most contentious issue, with the 23 clubs failing to agree to a way forward for concluding the season.
League Two appears to have found a way forward but while an indicative vote provides a direction, there are still hurdles to climb especially with the 'no relegation' issue. The EFL has said that keeping promotion and relegation from all three of its division is "integral" to the "integrity" of the leagues.

Scotland - Premiership
Will Celtic be handed the Scottish Premiership title?

Celtic have been crowned Scottish Premiership champions for the ninth successive season after the SPFL opted to curtail the current campaign.
The SPFL held a board meeting where they decided to bring the season to an end, meaning Celtic were awarded a 51st league title but Hearts were relegated to the Championship for the second time since 2014.
As with the Championship, League One and League Two, final season placings in the Premiership have been determined by points per game in league matches played to March 13 by each club.

Scottish Championship, League One & League Two

Dundee voted in favour of an SPFL resolution, which resulted in the Scottish Championship, League One and League Two seasons ending.
Dundee United have been declared champions of the Championship, Raith Rovers champions of League One, and Cove Rangers champions of League Two.
Partick Thistle have been relegated from the Championship, while Stranraer were demoted from League One.
An investigation has found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the SPFL in relation to the submission of on the resolution to end the lower leagues in Scotland. Scottish clubs rejected Rangers' bid for an investigation into the SPFL's conduct surrounding the vote to end the lower league seasons.


Italy - Serie A
Juventus were crowned Serie A champions for an eighth consecutive time in 2019

Serie A clubs have voted to resume the season on June 13, pending approval from the Italian government. Sixteen clubs voted in favour of that date during a league assembly, while the remaining four voted to resume the season the following weekend, on June 20.
The current campaign will be completed by August 20 to allow the Coppa Italia to be concluded by the end of August and a new season to start on September 1, Italian football chiefs have agreed.
Should the Serie A season be halted again, the Federation will seek a new format to determine the final standings, including short play-off rounds to establish league champions, European places and relegation.

Spain - La Liga
Will La Liga be played to a finish behind closed doors?

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said La Liga can resume from June 8, with La Liga president Javier Tebas already stating his aim to play games every day of the week to get the league finished as quickly as possible.
Clubs in the top two divisions of Spanish football are back training in groups of up to 10 people and can train with full squads from June 1.

France - Ligue 1
PSG have been handed their seventh league title in eight years

Paris Saint-Germain have been awarded the Ligue 1 title after the season was ended amid the coronavirus pandemic.
PSG, who have now won their seventh French title in the last eight years, held a 12-point lead over second-placed Marseille when the season was suspended in March.
Plans had originally been drawn up for the league to resume on June 17 and conclude on July 25, but the French top flight follows the Dutch Eredivisie as the second major European league season to be abandoned.
The Ligue 2 season is also over after French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced no sporting events, even those behind closed doors, could take place before September.
A French judge has rejected appeals by Lyon, Amiens and Toulouse over the decision to end the season early. Amiens and Toulouse were relegated while Lyon missed out on Europe.

Germany - Bundesliga
The Bundesliga are hoping to restart on behind closed doors

The Bundesliga season restarted on May 16, with socially-distanced goal celebrations, substitutes wearing masks and even cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands.

Netherlands - Eredivisie

The Dutch Eredivisie season has been ended, meaning league leaders Ajax have been denied the title. Ajax were top of the Eredivisie table, ahead of AZ Alkmaar on goal difference, with nine rounds of matches to play when the season was suspended.
The Eredivisie has put Ajax forward to go directly to the play-offs of the Champions League, with AZ playing in the second qualifying round, while third-placed Feyenoord will go straight into the group stage of the Europa League with PSV and Willem II qualifying for the second qualifying round for the competition.
AZ have released a statement saying they are considering their options after indicating displeasure with the judgement, particularly in relation to the awarding of European places. The settlement of places for European competition next season is subject to ratification by UEFA.
There will also be no promotion to the Dutch Eredivisie or relegation from the top flight, following an agreement reached over a video conference call between the Dutch FA (KNVB) and clubs.

Belgium - Pro League
In Belgium, Club Brugge could be declared champions

The Belgian Pro League season is over after the General Assembly voted to accept finalising the league table with each club having played 29 games.

Champions League & Europa League
When will UEFA's showpiece finals be played?

UEFA is considering proposals which would see the Champions League final being played three months later than scheduled at the end of August.
