Euro 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics could be affected by the pandemic.

The coronavirus outbreak has decimated the sporting schedule and left major doubts over some of 2020's biggest events.

A range of sports have had to take action to prevent the spread of the virus, with postponements hitting the Premier League and EFL until early April and all football in Scotland postponed with immediate effect.

The Guinness Six Nations, London Marathon and Formula One have also been affected, as has golf after The Masters was postponed.

With Euro 2020 and the Olympics on the horizon, the PA news agency takes a sport-by-sport look at the impact of the coronavirus.

Football

– The Premier League was suspended until April 4 and the EFL until April 3 at the earliest.

– All Scottish football was suspended with immediate effect and the Irish Football Association suspended the current season in Northern Ireland until at least April 4. The Football Association of Ireland announced all football activity under its jurisdiction was suspended until March 29.

– England's two friendlies later this month at Wembley, the Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship were also postponed by the FA. Wales' international matches with Austria and the United States at the end of March were also called off.

– Public events around the NFL Draft were cancelled, with the league saying it is working on a new format for the event which takes place in April.

Rowing

– The Boat Race, scheduled to take place on March 29, was cancelled.
