The return of the Bundesliga has been delayed by the German government.

The Bundesliga hoped to return on May 9th. There is still optimism that the Bundesliga will return in May.

"The DFL of course accepts that today no decision was made on the resumption of Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2," the German Football League said in a statement on Twitter, adding that the league and clubs will continue their preparations for restart of the season in May.
