Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This week on The Indy Football Podcast the team discuss the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on football around the world.

Host Luke Brown is joined by Sports Editor Ben Burrows, Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney and Football Reporter Jack Rathborn to make sense of an extraordinary few days.

They talk about the impact the pandemic will have on the football calendar. How will the Premier League season finish? Will the Europa and Champions League tournaments be scrapped? And will a postponed Euro 2020 clash with the rebranded Fifa Club World Cup?

They also discuss what will happen to clubs at the other end of the football pyramid and debate whether or not the National League should have cancelled its full round of fixtures over the weekend.

And Ben runs through how The Independent plans to cover football over the next few weeks and months … when there is going to be very little football taking place.
