The coronavirus crisis has had a huge impact on the sporting world. Many of the top football leagues are on hiatus, as are the major professional and collegiate competitions in the United States, while the suspension of horse racing in the United Kingdom means the Grand National might not be run this year.
With no EPL, La Liga, NBA, NHL, or March Madness, online bookmakers are taking a bit hit. But while you might to be able to bet on your favourite sports leagues, there is still plenty of action available if you dig a little deeper.
Please note that although the information in this article is correct at the time of writing, the situation is subject to change at any moment.

The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) is back in action, while the LoL European Championship and LoL Championship Series are slated to return this week. Esports betting sites are also running markets for the CS:GO ESL Pro League, Dota 2, StarCraft II and more.

Most of Europe’s premier football divisions are suspended, but you can still bet on matches from the Swedish Allsvenskan and Turkish Super Lig. The Australian A-League is ongoing at the time of writing, as are several domestic competitions in Africa, the Americas and Southeast Asia.
