(Reuters) - The English Football League's (EFL) chairman Rick Parry has told member clubs it needs about 56 days to complete the 2019-20 season and intends to conclude the campaign with the playoffs in all three divisions, British media reported on Thursday.

The EFL, which oversees the three divisions below the Premier League -- the Championship, League One and League Two --, also said matches may be held without fans in attendance.
