The National Football League is set to release its 2020 regular-season schedule on Thursday night amid the largest pandemic in years, one that is keeping most people in their homes for the near future.
However, the NFL is also taking precautions in case part or all of the upcoming season will have to be canceled in the name of safety.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently sent a memo to all 32 clubs detailing the policy to be put into place.
“All clubs will have in place a policy under which, if a game is cancelled, or is played under conditions that prohibit fans from attending, anyone purchasing a ticket directly from the club (i.e., season tickets, group sales and/or partial season plans) will have the option of either receiving a full refund or applying the amount paid toward a future ticket purchase directly from the club,” Goodell wrote.
According to the Associated Press report, Ticketmaster and SeatGeek will also make full refunds available for all ticket sales but StubHub, however, will do so only where required by state law.
Fans who have purchased tickets and season-ticket holders should be hearing from their respective teams regarding the policy in the next few days.
