The coronavirus pandemic caused sports around the world to be put on hold, with Europe’s top soccer leagues among them. Ligue 1 (France) and the Eredivisie (Netherlands) were among the competitions to abandon their seasons, but those to resume include the Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy) and Bundesliga (Germany).
With games on a daily basis between now and August — when the Champions League and Europa League will restart — ESPN FC presents a one-stop shop for everything you need to know from across Europe.
