A series of changes to the already-packed football calendar will see at least 50 extra games televised.

Officials have proposed an extra slot for Premier League action at 6:30pm on Sundays, meaning six games will be broadcast every weekend.

And there are also discussions surrounding the possibility of dropping the 3pm blackout in a bid to boost the women’s game.
