...though a bunch of those also have European games in that period too
 
Let's not be victims and blame the FA for our tight schedule - it's just a result of a) covid, and b) taking the last qualification spot for the bricky Europa League (for which we can partly blame UEFA I guess).

But the rest looks nice. Good opportunities to pick up a head a steam - results build confidence.

What’s happening about live television coverage? Are most of the games no longer going to be covered but with no fans at the stadium too?

Yes, that seems to be the case, at least it's what's being reported at the moment. TV will revert to 'normal' coverage, with Sky, BT and Amazon getting their contractual number of games, and no UK televising of Saturday 3pm fixtures.
Covid might have changed the way we live, work, shop, socialise etc but not the way we (officially) watch football on TV.
 
Allegedly the clubs wanted too much money for there to be a deal struck to broadcast more/all games as before.

Looking at those fixtures released, West Ham fans, and Moyes, must be bricking it. Start with Saudi Sportswashing Machine but then Arsenal, Wolves, Leicester, Us, Emirates Marketing Project then Liverpool.

Wasted opportunity for clubs, and seems to penalise supporters who would be at those matches but can’t be. Would be a good opportunity to get each club’s match watched by a bigger audience (and not just talking the lockdown effect here), and to raise the profile of each club. As it is, we will have ten minutes or so of some of the matches at most. Seems like a poor decision.
