Premier League football is returned to our screens in June after a three-month suspension due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.
Having been deprived of seeing the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in live action during the global lockdown, fans of English football will now be able to watch a selection of games for free.
Television networks such as Sky Sports and the BBC will show a number of fixtures without any charge, while newcomer Amazon Prime will also stream some matches for free.
So which games will be gratis? What channel will they be on? And how exactly can you watch them?
