Premier League clubs have major concerns that plans to expand the Champions League will lead to «unfeasible» fixture congestion, and the potential for European matches to be staged on the same day as top-flight domestic games.
Up until now, there has been an agreement with UEFA that there should be no clash between Champions League matches and Premier League games, with the weekend protected for domestic fixtures.
But Sky Sports News has been told there are widespread concerns that UEFA’s plans will be unworkable, and may lead to European and domestic games going head to head – especially if proposals are pushed through for 10 Champions League group matches per team from 2024 instead of the six matches currently played.

i think it is unfair that not every country has the chance to put 4 teams innit – in every country of Europe there should be a huger preseasion, not bigger groups but more rounds in the end – right now it feels like the rest of Europe doesn't develop in terms of football alot
So it is to please the so called big teams.. bollocks to them. If football is about them and me me me then footballs finished.
We should just get rid of all the profit making corporations that try to change football for their benefit only. We don't need the name uefa Infront of the champs league title. For all I care we could call it the Wilko's champions League as long as the format stays the same as it always has been.
And here we are.
Good thing the Messi/Ronaldo era would end by then.
Bad thing : We now know when football dies – season 2024/2025
Wild card leaves a nice big space to pay some corrupt organiser a huge commission to “vote” them in…
Just get rid of UEFA altogether.
Liverpool fan here and I'm dead against any wildcard nonsense. You earn your right to be there, or you don't. That better not go through, it will cheapen the integrity of the competition. It's a very American style element, that just will not appeal to Europeans.
This guys a donkey, not a clue what he’s on about. Winner of Scottish league already guaranteed automatic qualification to UCL (so long as UCL winner was to achieve qualification through domestic league) with Russian teams out it only meant it didn’t matter if Villarreal won UCL. Scottish teams have historically performed well in Europe, yes, but we on our own merit have earned 1 automatic spot + extra qualification round spots for all 3 European tournaments all the way to 5th place, bit of dodgy, anti-Scottish football reporting from Sky again no surprise there.
Super league…so utd can finish 10th but still get in CL? Can't clubs just say NO?
Such an irony Liverpool fans talking about corruption when because if UCL allowing 2nd place teams to be played in UCL, hence Liverpool is in finals. Imagine it being called Champions league and a team who won the league just once in 30 years in 3 finals. Be grateful Liverpool folks, let also the smaller teams from maller leagues have the taste of UCL
If UEFA pays more TV money than leagues, THEN CLUBS WILL BE DEFINITELY BE BEHIND UEFA
So they wanted rid of the super league, so theu could create their own ? not surprised by this haha
I knew this was coming cos the super league would fail so UEFA had this as a back up plan. Now most teams aren't protesting cos UEFA bought their silence. Sad times for football.
If they change the competition we need to boycott it simple as, keep it as it is and stop being so greedy
To be brutally honest England left the European union so should be removed from the competition
Is the new format final ?
They are ruining a great competition all because if the super league nonsense fixtures come in thick and fast as it is man no need to change the game works fine the way it is
Let’s face it no top owners or league runners care about fans or about players
Any European spots should ALWAYS be earned by the teams. Always.
Fixture congestion has been a growing issue. He’s some suggestions.
Combine the lower league cup and efl cup together and exclude European teams in the prem.
Cut out 2 legs for football ties.
Cut out replays for ties. A football game should be completed there and then on the day.
—————————————
Everyone should start voting with their money. Cancel sky and br sports. Stop going to European games. If the tv viewership drops – they will drop these foolish ideas but unless they start losing money – things will not change unless you start affecting their bottom lines
Can folks in Europe plz protest and save football
Rubbish… If anything they should lessen the amount of teams in the tournament to cut down on some of the uncompetitive matches.
Are you really gonna tell me there's not enough money in football like comon people spend a 100 mill on a player now the greed is ridiculous
The thing I’ve always hated about the champions league, depending on what league you play in, you win the league but need to play qualifiers, yet you can finish 4 in a league and automatically go to the group stages. It’s a total joke of a competition.
Super league here we come ?
More competitions means more betting and more money made by betting companies.??
The outcome of matches are controlled by these companies.
How there they make a super league
UEFA: hold my greed
She got back
What UEFA is really doing is, creating their own super league. They want to ostracise the domestic leagues. The vast majority of teams in domestic leagues will never play in the champions league. It just makes the rich clubs even richer. I'm a Liverpool fan and love European competition. We will make a 100m getting to the final. Compare us to our city neighbours Everton who have virtually zero money and are having to buy Londsdale tracksuits to go out in on a saturday night. This is making the city look povo and must be stopped! Any spare cash, please find an Everton fan, they tend to hang out in North Wales under rocks. Or rubbish dumps.
Am I the only one getting more and more pissed off at the ridiculous Social Distancing being seen on shows like this!? When, let's face it, as soon as the Camera's turn off they're back in the office, barely 30 centimetres apart!
European Football's boring, it's just the same team winning year after year after year for decades. Unlike in MLS or South America where different teams actually have a chance to win. Might as well bring the Super League, at least that way they're being honest, and who knows maybe that'll revive competitiveness in the sport.
They are destroying their own tournament. Shameful.
Ouch, why are you SKY SPORTS MFs not protesting aginst it like you did in the case of ESL last year?
There is already a problem with player fatigue towards the end of seasons, which then negatively impacts performance in international tournaments. Also there is the impact in terms of player fitness, tired players get injured more often and with worse injuries. All of this does no one any real good, certainly not the players and the teams they play for. It looks like the only people who benefit are the national associations and UEFA who simply can't help burying their collective snouts deeper in the trough. They're as bad as FIFA and that's saying something!
Bruv championship is better then Scottish prem
As a Rangers fan that would be nice but as a football fan, no thank you.
How about asking all the fans who watch and love the sport if they would like this money grabbing change!!!!!!!!!
The Super League will RUIN football
Why not have an all out Champions League?
CR7s records will be smashed
Nottingham forest, Aston villa were also eligible for the wild card cause both sides are former European champions.
Personally I prefer that the number of teams is decreased to 16. I'm also in favor of letting the elite teams have a guaranteed spot since those are the teams that people want to watch.
Uefa are the most money greedy tramps along side government’s, thats what its all about bringing more money for them selfs & with so many games being played in a season the quality of football on whole will drop drastically
now a days clubs cry more than anybody in this world.
The love of money
