On June 17th 2020, English Premier League football resumed after having been placed on hold as part of the ongoing COVID-19 containment measures. During a representative survey of the British adult population, undertaken between the 3rd and 4th June 2020, respondents were asked their opinion on the appropriateness of the return of the English Premier League (EPL) at this time.
The responses to this survey have subsequently been categorized into into eight groups characterized by the region within which the respondents live.
The greatest share of all respondents held the opinion that the 17th June was 'too soon' for the Premier league to resume. From each of the constituent countries within the United Kingdom (UK) a larger share, with over 29 percent, of respondents from England indicated that this was 'about the right time' for its return.
