The Covid pandemic ended the season in France’s Ligue 1 and extended the season in other top European football leagues well into their summer breaks, as shown in this Gantt chart. All five top European football leagues started their 2019-20 fixtures between the 9th and 24th of August and all stopped playing between the 8th and 11th of March. The Bundesliga restarted in mid-May and will wrap up by the end of June. La Liga, EPL and Serie A plan to restart in June and will finish between mid-July and early August.
European Football Schedule Delays in a Gantt Chart
How I Made This Gantt Chart
The original 2019-20 schedules of the five European football leagues, the delays and the planned finishes are available from various online sources with Wikipedia the best option. Here's how I made the chart:
- created a Gantt chart in PowerPoint
- set my calendar to go from August 1, 2019 to August 10, 2020
- displayed year and month in calendar headers
- added two extra columns for country and number of games
- typed in the league names, country and number of games information into the tasks and left hand chart columns
- added bars for pre-Covid fixtures and post-break fixtures for each league
- set date format in Format chart to dd-mmm and added task shading
- displayed start and end dates in each bar and added text for pre-Covid and post-break
- set bar height to 75 point
- added milestones with date and text
- changed colors of bars
- adjusted size of columns
