2020 has been an unprecedented year in the world of sports, and\u00a0English Football<\/a> is no exception. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EFL League Championship made the decision on March 13th to suspend its 2019-20 season indefinitely. On May 13th the league’s clubs voted to resume play. The season started up again on June 20th and the playoffs concluded on August 4th.<\/p>\r\n

So while promotion happened later than normal, the following three clubs earned the right to play in the Premier League next season: Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion by virtue of total points and Fulham by virtue of winning the playoffs.<\/p>\r\n

To celebrate the occasion here are sample program\u00a0covers for each club from the last season they were in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
