English football will be suspended until at least 30 April and the season had been scheduled to end on 1 June.
The Football Association has also agreed that the current season can be “extended indefinitely”.
A joint statement issued by the FA, Premier League and EFL are committed to finding ways of resuming the 2019-20 season and completing all domestic and European matches as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.
FA chairman Greg Clarke has previously expressed his concern that it might prove impossible for the season to be concluded.
However Brighton chief executive Paul Barber told the BBC that it would be “unjust” if runaway leaders Liverpool were denied the title, and suggested increasing the league to 22 teams for 2020-21.
FIFA has also established a working group to tackle the issues facing football including international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts.
Player contracts typically expire on 30 June but many leagues, if resumed, look likely to continue beyond that date.
