Domestic competitive sport behind closed doors will be allowed from Monday, the UK government says.
The 'phase three' guidance paves the way for live sport to return on 1 June for the first time since mid-March.
It is up to individual sports to assess the risk and consult athletes, coaches and support staff.
Horse racing is among the first to resume with a meeting at Newcastle on Monday, while the Premier League is due to resume on 17 June.
Clubs in England's top flight returned to 'phase two' contact training on 25 May.
"The wait is over. Live British sport will shortly be back on in safe and carefully controlled environments," said the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Oliver Dowden.
"This guidance provides the safe framework for sports to resume competitions behind closed doors. It is now up to individual sports to confirm they can meet these protocols and decide when it's right for them to restart.
"This is a significant moment for British sport. By working with clinicians every step of the way, we are creating the safest possible environments for everyone involved."
There are key protocols that must be adhered to:
- All competition delivery partners and user groups involved, from the teams and athletes, to the support staff, officials and media, must travel individually and by private transport where possible
- Prior to entering the competition venue, they are expected to carry out a screening process for coronavirus symptoms. Anyone with known or suspected Covid-19 will not be permitted to enter and should be placed, or remain, in isolation
- Social distancing should be maintained by all groups where possible. This includes the competing athletes and support staff on the bench and field of play, such as during any disputes between players and referees, or scoring celebrations
- Dressing room usage should be minimised. However. showers can be used
- Competition delivery partners and elite sports organisations should appoint a named Covid-19 officer to be responsible for oversight of all planning and communications
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters "welcomed" the decision.
"We have provisionally planned to restart the Premier League on 17 June, but there is still much work to be done to ensure the safety of everyone involved," added Masters.
"This includes consulting with our clubs, players and managers - along with all our other stakeholders - as the health and welfare of our participants and supporters is our priority.
"If all goes well, we will be thrilled to resume the 2019-20 season in just over two weeks' time."

Well, just one more Cummings post since everyone thinks he makes all the government laws and rules, we should now be giving him thanks for this one.

Like a lot of people, I feel it's too much too soon but the truth is we've gotta take some steps on the road back to some sort of normality. If it were left to me I'd keep the lockdown till we had a cure. Actually, it's prob just as well it's not left to me.

That's all well and good starting football but they don't account for the pr!cks that run the National League, probably have a vote on wether there should be a vote on it

The Football League confirmed on Friday that a meeting will be held on 8 June, when clubs will vote on whether to allow seasons to be curtailed if the majority in each league requests it.
League Two clubs have already decided that is the route they wish to go down but, so far, no consensus has been reached in League One.

Many of their experts (when they’re allowed to talk to the media) seem to think they’re rushing things all of a sudden, can you think of an alternative explanation as to why that might be?
Like every sh!t organisation, this government spend all their time trying to get themselves out of their current, usually self-inflicted problems, with f00k all strategy for the long term.

Is it really necessary to keep providing links to articles when someone else has already documented the details....

Swale's post is what the government is saying my post is what the Football League had to say about about a meeting they had and when there would be a vote.

What have they done wrong? They made a swift decision to end the season to protect many of the clubs that would be affected financially had they hung on. What you you be doing if you were head of the National League?
