There are almost all american events delayed and shut down because of the COVID-19 and even the WHO has called corona-virus as pandemic!

Below is the list of all events that are cancelled or re-scheduled amid corona spread:

I first known about NBA being suspended but I knew other league and sports will be affected, and now here it is and definitely we can expect that more and more will be affected on this corona virus pandemic. A little suggestion, you can also add some link of the source info.

You will find the link above useful for the same reason, by the way I believe there should be a better managed OP for all the events with references and maybe the delayed events can be also listed with possible re-scheduled dates.

It is kind of sad that any sports are being cancelled due to the novel corona virus. Also, online sports would be cancelled too if the tournaments are using LAN. Well, it's not only the sports are being affected but also the stores and schools. As what I know, the NBA matches are being cancelled for now and PBA games are same too.

Provably majority of them will close down there games temporarily since its been advice by WHO to avoid crowded places and for incident that there are NBA player who transmit the virus to his teammate for sure the temporary closed down will be imposed, and we shouldn't get sad for that and think positive on this since we can watch their plays again once the virus will be controlled and vanished away.

Now there is almost no activity in the crowd because to prevent this corona virus, including sports where many viewers will be postponed until the situation recovers and for school almost all of it is vacated because the situation is increasingly tense and some work is increasingly hampered, so now don't it's too much to watch NBA or other sports, it's better for us to be able to stay clear of what we can to avoid the corona virus.
All sports will return within the next few months including gambling with other contacts as well.

Here in India, we have well over a dozen sports channels and most of the time there will be multiple cricket matches being broadcast live on various channels. But for the last few days, the only live action I have been able to follow has been the PSL of Pakistan. All the other cricket matches have been either cancelled or postponed. The BCCI have postponed the IPL (world's largest T20 league) by almost a month and they have cancelled all of the domestic matches.

The World Health Organization (WHO) have stated that pandemic corona virus is a dangerous plague so they ask to all president on this world to warn up to raise the outbreak as a national emergency that must be taken seriously. Like in my country, the government has taken a step to dismiss all activities of the government and stoping all activities that involve a lot of people (including footbal event). Yeah I think this situation will take a few week ahead, so for those who like sport betting you can store your money or you can play in anither gambling place.

Being a cricket fan I was following the Corona virus news since sometime and already the ODI series between India vs South Africa (cricket) has been decided to be played in an empty stadium which is in itself a historic decision.

Moving forward I heard that IPL might be cancelled as well for this year and there are rumors that a lot of other cricket events are being cancelled and there are some tennis opens that are now cancelled because of the Corona fear and to avoid public gatherings.

I appreciate such measures but being a sports fan and bettor I am really upset with the delays and cancellation of events.

All the information about the cancelled/postponed sports over the world are already posted at a comment section at this thread so that I shared some information'/thoughts about the COVID-19 virus.
There are so many events in the world that are no cancelled because of covid-19 to prevent of spreading, so that the only way to prevent it is to avoid the crowd/many people because it is the fastest way in spreading the virus. Stay safe everyone and let's fight the virus.

That's it, some professional leagues are already ending the season and declaring champions.

First one was Lithuanian Basketball League, they declared Zalgiris new 9 (old) champion for season 2019/2020

Quote

Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) Board has decided to take all the necessary safety actions regarding the spread of COVID-19 virus in the country.
World Health Organization has declared an outbreak a world-wide pandemic. Due to Force Majeure, LKL Board has decided to end the 2019/20 Betsafe LKL season and crown current regular-season leaders, Zalgiris Kaunas, as the champions of 27th Betsafe LKL season.

After Lithuanian, same thing did Belgian basketball league

Quote

In consultation with Basketball Belgium the Pro Basketball League has decided today to cancel the EuroMillions Basketball league in first division due to the coronavirus. This decision was made in order to protect the health of players, clubs and fans and to halt the spread of the virus based on the government’s recent decisions.
FILOU Oostende is proclaimed champion and the current standings will serve for the allocation of the European tickets. In order to allow our clubs to prepare for next season following this decision, the granting of the licences has been postponed until 15 May.

I think that we can expect similar thing in some other sports too, especially if some team has huge lead and is almost certain that they would win the title. In European football a lot of things will depend on decision whether European Championship is cancelled or not, and if postponed, when it will be. Some rumours on Telegraph even said Euro might go on during December.

Here in our country the PSL matches were going on different cities. The government has opted for closed matches without the crowd being allowed to come in the stadium. I think this is a very good approach and other sports governing bodies could also see this option. Players can still play and people can still enjoy the match at their home on TV screen or on you tube live streams.

I also see the match has an empty audience on television because the government tells that the game starts without an audience. No wonder that the player is not playing as usual because they feel that the stadium is too big for them. But in some countries, the local league has been cancel because of Corona, and there is no clear statement when the match will continue. We hope that Corona Virus can be solved, and the vaccine will be found.

Even better than a game being cancelled, at least PSL were able to continue and play according to schedule and those people who are quarantine at home, they'll be enjoy watching the game and of course they will enjoy more because they can bet through online sports betting.

This is happening everywhere as public gatherings are not recommended at current times. Conducting Sporting events is very risky and therefore we are seeing a lot of tournaments getting delayed or postposed. Premier league matches are most effected by it and all of them have been postponed till further notice. There is nothing much anyone can do about it, other than to wait.

Damn. With all majority sporting events getting postponed, Saturdays will become more boring than usually. It's like all weekends are now international breaks. Today, there was no matches to keep me engaged. That said, I hope that the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic is limited and stopped – if possible, majority of infected persons recover. From the look of things, it looks like it'll get more critical than it is currently. Let's hope things return back to normalcy soon.

Interruption like this happen when there is world war or pandemic but this pandemic is much worse because all people can get infected and people are restricted in their movement and the economy is slowing down, we cannot go on like this for months, there should be drastic move like a cure, I have read that this is going to be permanent type of virus, and this will really hurt us.

And all we can do is hope countries would be able to contain this virus as soon as possible. China and South Korea has made an impressive progress in containing the virus and we could soon see them hosting their local sporting events. Japan could be the next with the similar expertise which is also going to host the olympics 2020. Even though Japan be ready in time, it would still be difficult to host a global event while rest of the globe is in panic.

All we can do is to watch it via computer or mobile devices. For more info check this out: https://www.facebook.com/176272595900226/posts/1247955375398604/?app=fbl

I'm a little bit worried on Khabib vs Ferguson fight. It seems that they are really meant to fight each other lol Grin

. The universe is not allowing them to do so.

Added to that most of the e-sports events have been delayed and cancelled as I was checking around and LPL, LEC, etc are delayed and even the matches that are being played are actually done under immense security, masks and other precautions. I believe that while sports and other other events are important and it is financial as well as interest loss for event organizers but they must understand how dangerous and quickly this virus spreads and if not enough measures are taken there will be chaos in no time.

I was even gutted to see the price swings BTC is going through right now because not just gambling, gaming, entertainment but even financial markets are shattered because of the coronavirus.

We can't be selfish at this moment, we need to sympathize on the majority and that is the safety of all the people.

The government are responsible if they are making a timely measure of this pandemic and suspending games is not only the decision of the management but maybe they are also called by the government. Let's trust that this would not last longer so we can resume enjoying what we like best especially gambling on sports, this time, let's focus ourselves on other activities so we can still be productive.

Big counties suspending their sporting events, I would not be surprise that more will follow especially the smaller countries where they usually follow what the big countries are doing, the threat of corona is not so big but the panic made it worst, this only shows how not ready the government on this pandemic.

Big sports events right now are suspending their games because of COVID-19 and because of this shitty virus, some of the gamblers are forced to stop gambling right now if they are gambling on sports events and maybe they will be gambling on other games if they don't choose to stop.

There are more disastrous virus in the past than this virus. The problem is the media is hyping it making the people panic at its highest. The virus is controllable and in South Korea, the number of recovering right now is greater than the number of affected persons one proof that it is controllable already with proper medical kits.

Of course that governments are not prepared. Who could expected something like this and that corona virus will spread so fast throughout the world.
However, catastrophe stil can be prevented and exactly from reason of prevention large sport events are cancelled. And not only sport events but all those who gather a large number of people.

It's the government's initiative going into a big crowd to prevent from getting infected on the virus.
If popular athletes, and actor was infected, there's a big possibility that we are going to be infected as well as we continue to go out and go in a big crowd.

The decision is bad for the economy but the government should always ensure safety first or good health of the people over profit as eventually when more and more are infected, people will still not gonna go in big events, so the government here are just thinking in advance.

In Japan also experienced the same thing in the last decade Japan appeared afraid in the Olympics this year will experience a cancellation and also the Swiss Super League will delay after the government conducts a public event.

And as I see again Liverpool also experienced a bad thing that would cancel the match schedule, due to the effects of the C virus phenomenon.

It means that league and clubs will get less money from sponsors, less revenue from TV rights. It's force majeure situation and it means that clubs will not pay money to players for remaining months of season...

Lol really. Didn't other team raised questions regarding this decision. I wonder what basketball league that is.

I think they will be forced to take this decision back by other teams and fans very soon. Best course of action is to suspend the league for some time and see how the situation goes on and take decision afterwards if it has taken long and we haven't find any solution for the virus.

Worlds 2020 is one of my fave tournaments where I always bet since I know which is the team that plays stronger.

Containment will not fix the problem and many sporting events will be cancel the biggest I believe is the NBA season we will not have an NBA championship this year, if there is still no cure for this epidemic we will see no big sporting events anymore unless a cure comes out of this or we become immune of it.

important football matches must be postponed. Even Cristiano Ronaldo decided to stay in Portugal for a while. Because his teammate

Just few weeks ago we didn't even thought that such scenario is possible, but now most of sports leagues and competitions around the world is stopped and future of it is very questionable.
From what I see, competition in Europe is still going on in Turkey, Russia, Serbia, Belarus, Ukraine, some Asian and South American countries, most of Africa and Australia. It's probably first time since WW2 when most of competition were forced to stop. It will definitely cost lot of money.

What really will be interesting is the amount of money in sports. As we all know teams pay these players according to how much they make as well. Now that teams in almost all sports will play a lot less but contracts are already out there, I am pretty sure it will be reflected some other way. NBA teams even will pay for not played games for hourly workers let alone others, so people who are hourly will get paid even when they are not working, that has to come out of somewhere. I suspect there will be a lower cap space for next year as well.

The trouble is not actually being able to gamble or not, even a person with corona could just open a website and gamble anywhere they want. The trouble is NBA, NHL, F1 and many others are all getting cancelled.

The most recent news was march madness getting closed for example, NCAA march madness is one of the leading gambling options out there during march, it allows people to gamble on a elimination based games and sometimes they play on outrights as well, with that being gone I think one of the most highly gambled sports game out there is gone. However poker, dice, plinko and stuff like that all still out there and can be played, so I doubt it is a total loss for online casinos, they can still offer computer games that could help people gamble whenever they want to.

Sadly, the impact of the virus to sports events does not only refer to cancelled or postponed games. So far, we have already athletes who are themselves infected with COVID-19. Earlier, we had Utah Jazz's player Rudy Gobert. It was immediately followed by a teammate in Donovan Mitchell who also tested positive of the infection.

Other than these NBA players, we also have COVID-19 victims in football. Daniele Rugani of Juventus tested positive of the virus. Arsenal has also reported that their manager Mikel Arteta is also infected with the same.

Even the 2020 UAE Tour is affected by this pandemic. The cycling race event has already started and was halfway when it was suddenly cancelled when two participants from Italy was found to be positive of COVID-19.

This is a time for sports to have a hiatus.

It is very bad right now. So many fad news from everywhere and it is impossible to track and read them all. This is catastrophic for everything not just sports. It is crazy.

Premier league did cancelled as well. I thought UK was handling it very well, that sounded a little premature to suspend right away but considering the exponential growth of the number of infected, it does sound like a good decision. I mean would you prefer to wait too late to suspend and have players with corona on the pitch running for 90 minutes or would you prefer everyone to be healthy and stay that way instead.

What really will be interesting is the amount of money in sports. As we all know teams pay these players according to how much they make as well.

Here’s a couple of websites which are pretty comprehensive

Maybe the other way round would do better - just list all the sports/leagues, that are still running Grin

From the sports I follow (a bit), only Snooker is still running. In cycling, Paris-Nice is still going, but most of the upcoming races have been cancelled as well. This will be some boring upcoming weeks, but on a positive note, once everything starts to resume again, we will have a very busy schedule. Every day will be full of sports to watch and bet on.

Thanks for all the inputs guys .
I started making a little list and table this morning and the list has got rather large !!
To be perfectly honest - EVERY sporting event is going to be affected .
I think it’s GAME OVER for every sport for at least a couple of weeks .

Few more anyway

Cricket - England’s tour of Sri Lanka postponed
Football - all Champions League and Europa matches postponed
Football - ligule 1 and 2 - suspended

LOL - might change the title of the thread to - CORONAVIRUS KILLS SPORT

Basically, almost every major competition are getting stopped.

Not good enough, thought by now all major football tournament will be stopped since it's more of a contact sport filled with audience in their thousands creating a more favourable environment for the Corona virus to be distributed to as much individuals as possible but I'm not impressed. Seems like the governing body of this leagues are more interested in the profit to be made then the health of the fans, players and employees of the stadium this matches are been played in.

I know "the show must go on" but when human health are at risk, the number one priority of any body overseeing any gathering or event should be to keep we (humans) safe from harm. Irrespective of how negative such decision will have to their business our life's is more important.

Most of the gamblers are betting in the NBA because people really like watching and playing basketball. There are many fan of basketball that's why when they know that NBA will suspend all of its game, people are unhappy because of that. Covid-19 can be easily transmitted transmitted because the virus stay at any places and it is microscopic so it is not easy to notice. Gamblers can only bet in a game like dice, roulette, and etc., as of now because we need to understand the situation now. There are many option in gambling, we should not only rely on the sports betting if we really like gambling. Health is important than money, and what is the sense of money if your life is at risk. I believe that health first before anything else. Keep safe everyone.

because crowded place/event is prone to this virus so organizer are cancelling the events or suffer the consequences .
and look at the bigger events above that has cancellation so what more event like this one.

I first known about NBA being suspended but I knew other league and sports will be affected, and now here it is and definitely we can expect that more and more will be affected on this corona virus pandemic. A little suggestion, you can also add some link of the source info.

In my opinion, all sports events around the world need to be halted for a period of time regardless of the losses that they could incur since health is 1st priority always. This virus has the potential to turn into the deadly Influenza virus of 1918 if we aren't careful.

IPL(India Premier League) 2020 is a million dollar league which is conducted annually and I am hoping that they suspend it this time around(Closed doors rumors). Major conferences like GDC 2020 and E3 2020 have been shuttered too.

There are so many events that has been cancelled because of this virus,
But it was for the best because it is for the safety of everyone they should prioritize the health of everyone since those event could always continue once the virus is cured,
But the life of those who would be lost because of the virus could never come back.

Exactly. People shouldn't worry about the canceling, it's definitely for everyone's good. If this affect your favorite players, it will probably affect the club chance of competiting well. Hopefully the players/clubs and their huge fans don't get involved in other things that encourage the spread of the virus.

Lest I forget:
Buy sufficient foods, eat healthy, drink lots safe drinking water, avoid "bad things", change your bad ways(repent). If you believe in a true CREATOR, pray, humble yourself, and ask him for forgiveness, & to guide you to know the truth/the way, I strongly believe HE will guide you if you trust HIM. Don't allow fear ruin your life, though be cautious about harmful things.... You will be kept safe no matter how dangerous your surroundings is

This event postponing is the only way to go because the disease has been declared pandemic, plus this games could wait, they do not want to risk their personnel, players and attending audiences contracting and spreading the virus just for entertainment and sports. Safety is the number one priority right now. I think a lot of people could agree on the fact that this contagion is threatening. On the brighter side, this can help in making a rest and recuperation for the players because they are going to need that when this problem is over for millions of hyped fans who is excited for this events

the Media is bringing big part on this but it is Good so the Governments are now focusing in the safeties of all the people around the world.

even the biggest countries are now getting worried about this.

Hope this will be cured soon so we can enjoy Sports betting again.

https://twitter.com/UEFA/status/1238092043278262275.. I hope the champions league continues and Madrid vs Man City matches can be played.

I think the Madrid vs City is postponed along with Juventus vs Lyon. Here how google shows me:

However the google result shows that Barcelona vs Napoli and Chelsea vs Bayern might happen but I find it hard to believe especially when today one of the Chelsea players was found positive with the virus and training was cancelled. I have doubts in Barcelona vs Napoli too btw.

I heard about from The Guardian news about The Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has tested positive for Coronavirus, the Serie A club said on Wednesday.

Here are the links:

Besides that, here is another news from Guardian.ng:

"A second division footballer was on Wednesday the first player to test positive for coronavirus in Germany as RB Leipzig became the last Bundesliga side to announce that they would hold their weekend match behind closed doors."

Source Links: https://guardian.ng/sport/german-footballer-contracts-coronavirus/

You can find it more on Google.

Many things have impacted the virus. Many countries canceled many events in their country, including sports, because they want to search for people who got an impact from the Coronavirus. We hope that it does not take a long time to see the cure for this virus.

Sadly, the impact of the virus to sports events does not only refer to cancelled or postponed games. So far, we have already athletes who are themselves infected with COVID-19. Earlier, we had Utah Jazz's player Rudy Gobert. It was immediately followed by a teammate in Donovan Mitchell who also tested positive of the infection.

Other than these NBA players, we also have COVID-19 victims in football. Daniele Rugani of Juventus tested positive of the virus. Arsenal has also reported that their manager Mikel Arteta is also infected with the same.

Even the 2020 UAE Tour is affected by this pandemic. The cycling race event has already started and was halfway when it was suddenly cancelled when two participants from Italy was found to be positive of COVID-19.

This is a time for sports to have a hiatus.

I thought the Olympics 2020 will be canceled due to the pandemic virus but the event pushes through. They are now in the first phase of the relay. Still on ceremony part and no games yet but are they really going to push this or they will just finish the traditional ceremony but no games will be played after that until the virus infection calms down a bit and became controllable.

I think there is lot of time till Olympics (3-4 months is a lot) . It is going to happen in last week of July. Maybe situation gets better by then. I think proper decision will be made 1 month before the schedule. However their organizing committee president have hinted that delay could happen but I think they are waiting to see how it goes on for now.

The number of audiences is just the same. It's just that basketball and soccer are all-year sports so they are the ones always at the sports media news.

But it was for the best because it is for the safety of everyone they should prioritize the health of everyone since those event could always continue once the virus is cured,
