The country's top footballers today voted by a massive 99%-plus to come out on strike.
An overwhelming 2,290 PFA members backed action in a bitter row over TV cash.
Only 22 players said they shouldn't strike.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "We are extremely pleased to say the least."
Footballers are threatening not to play in televised matches after November 23 following the huge 92.7% turn-out in the crucial vote.
The threat came as England skipper David Beckham got behind a strike.
Multi-millionaire Manchester United ace Beckham said: "I am prepared to do whatever everyone is doing.
"I know the decision is coming up and we will have to wait and see.
"But I will back what the players are doing. I did vote, but it was a private vote."
The Premier League is refusing to offer the PFA any more than £9.85m from their TV deal with Sky and ITV.
PFA chiefs want 5% of the money - around £25m - and £6m each from the Football Association and Football League.
But Premier League bosses remain optimistic a deal over the issue of television money can still be struck.
If the players vote to boycott televised matches, the Premier League is likely to seek an injunction and the dispute will go to the High Court.
