It has been revealed that Sky Sports will be using stadium noise that is used in FIFA 20 for the games that will be televised for the remainder of the 2019-20 Premier League season. The news just comes days after the schedule was revealed for fixtures, with Sky Sports hosting 15 games across eight days.
Sky Sports have revealed that they have been in talks with the game as they look to give viewers the best possible experience. Fans of the sport will be delighted with the announcement as it comes a month after the Bundesliga returned to action. Many fans were left concerned with how football may adapt during this time, with German games eerily quiet.

The atmosphere when it comes to Premier League games is one of the biggest drawing points, which means the silence will be off-putting to some fans. The Premier League revealed that they were pressing ahead with plans to conclude the season just last month. Their decision wasn’t greeted warmly by all, with some clubs slamming the decision.
However, the Premier League have constantly stated that they will end the season when it is safe to do so. Fans have been delighted with the league’s commitment to end the season, as football fanatics have been forced to watch on as action in France, Scotland and the Netherlands was cancelled indefinitely.
EA Sports FIFA 20: Will The FIFA 20 Background Noise Work?
Sky Sports have revealed that they were thinking about different ways to evolve the experience of the viewer and it’s hard to argue against the idea that FIFA 20 stadium background noise isn’t a good idea. While it’s fair to say that it won’t be as special as actual stadium noise, it will still fill the void that is needed.
However, one of the most unique aspects of English football fans is the ironic cheers, which means that FIFA will need to ensure that they can create the most lifelike experience. Regardless, Sky should be applauded for their efforts and the depths of them thinking outside of the box will likely be rewarded with a great viewing experience for football fans.
