The Times reports that all Premier League and EFL games set to be played behind closed doors soon. It seems fans who have bought tickets will be able to view a stream of the game and all Premier League games will seemingly be moved away from the Saturday 3pm slot and televised (but pubs won't be allowed to show them.)

Except that no-one bothered to tell the EFL! However I think we're headed in that direction. The EFL might be keener to postpone matches for a couple of weeks though. Their clubs rely heavily on matchday income.
And extending the season by a couple of weeks to compensate for a suspension is more feasible for Leagues One and Two than the higher leagues as they will be less affected by call-ups of players to summer international squads.
