Neutral venues will be the only way to complete the season, Premier League clubs were told during a video conference on Friday.
“Up to 10 stadiums” would be used to resume the 2019-20 campaign.
The Premier League would also need up to 40,000 tests for players and staff if plans to play the 92 outstanding games behind closed doors are pursued.
Clubs reiterated a commitment to resuming the season “when safe and appropriate to do so”.
The conference followed a separate meeting, hosted by culture secretary Oliver Dowden, involving medical experts from several sports organisations, government and Public Health England, about “stepping up planning” for sport’s eventual return.
Representatives from football, rugby union, cricket, racing and funding body UK Sport were present.
Dowden introduced the meeting and said elite sport would return behind closed doors “when, and only when, it is safe to do so on the basis of expert medical advice”.
BBC Sport understands that sports have accepted that the return to competition is going to be a “long, detailed process” and the discussions in Friday’s conference were largely based on the resumption of training.
F1 representatives also discussed the prospects for the British Grand Prix.Oliver Dowden #StayHomeSaveLives✔@OliverDowden
