The Premier League will remain suspended and will only come back when it's 'safe to do so'.
In a statement the Premier League said original plans to bring the league season back in May will no longer happen.
"The 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so. The restart date is under constant review."
Following the announcement by the men's Premier League, the Barclays FA Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship announced that they would do the same thing and wait for a safe time to restart the season.
Lots of other things were discussed at a meeting between all 20 Premier League clubs, for example, it was agreed that all teams will discuss a 30% wage cut with players.
Club captains, including Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and Manchester United's Harry Maguire, have already been involved in organising a fund to help donate money to medical and NHS charities. The fund will be made up of money donated by players.
The 20 top clubs have also agreed to make a 拢20m donation to the NHS, local communities, families and groups who have been affected by the coronavirus crisis.
The Premier League has also voted to pay 拢125m to the 71 EFL clubs and the teams in the National League early, as lower league clubs struggle with losing money because of coronavirus.
