The Premier League has reached an agreement with the English Football League (EFL) to provide a 250 million pounds ($336.13 million) bailout package for lower division clubs struggling financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Club finances have been hit hard since the pandemic barred fans from entering stadiums, with many at the risk of going out of business.

The agreement, approved at a shareholders’ meeting on Thursday, will see the second-tier Championship receive an interest-free 200 million pounds loan while third-tier League One and fourth tier League Two clubs have been awarded a 50 million pounds grant.

Home advantage has narrowed significantly in the Premier League during the period in which no fans were allowed into stadiums, according to an analysis of results since the beginning of last season.
