All eyes on National League after Premier League and Football League announce suspension due to coronavirus

All elite football in England has been suspended until at least April 3 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

All Premier League and Football League games have been postponed, with the Premier League saying action would resume on April 4 "subject to medical advice and conditions at the time".

The FA released a statement on the situation today, which went on to say: "We're liaising with the National League pyramids (men’s and women’s) and will continue to offer guidance & support. Any decision to continue playing or to postpone their respective competitions is a matter for each league as autonomous bodies within the game".

It is thought the National League will be holding a board meeting at lunchtime today (Friday) to decide what happens.

FC Halifax Town are due to host Ebbsfleet at The Shay on Saturday live on BT Sport (5.20pm).
