Test events are set to be held as early as this month in preparation for certain sports to potentially open their doors to fans in August.
Football.London report that the events will be held under an observation programme with plans in place to open doors to fans for the first time in August should everything go to plan.
Certain sports, which could well include the Premier League and the EFL, will be allowed to let fans into games for the first time in August.
It is anticipated that all sports would then be allowed to welcome fans into stadiums in late August and early September, with strict social distancing restrictions in place.
That means that stadiums would not be allowed to open at full capacity at the start of next season - which would obviously impact the level of crowds allowed at a Premier League and Championship level.
