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.

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
Uefa never had a problem with the super League. They were just annoyed they weren't going to get the money from it.
Rissian teams would be missed! They always give us a game! Is it fair to punish teams over government actions? When the west invaded Libya and eventually killed beloved leader because he did not agreed with them; * which teams were sanctioned? *Which asset were frozen? Hypocrisy everywhere!
Quality wise PL clubs doesn't come close to German Spanish French players or clubs
Ridiculous again with this money grabbing bs I’m sorry we need to stand up against this how do you imagine the footballing world will look in 10 years if we don’t stop this now. As football fans of any team we cannot let this happen
Uefa needs big club names playing the cup, regardless how they are struggling domestically. Big name club draw viewership. UEFA are also being blackmailed by this so called big clubs that are not making the cut, that they will breakaway. So that's why UEFA is forced to change their rules to suit this clubs.
Lmao citys chances of never winning the ucl just doubled ???????
So.. Nottingham Forest should take the wild card spot every year, because the won it twice!!!!
UEFA thought we would support this garbage which is like super league 2.0 amd don't give no Historical spots
yet again greedy UEFA trynna destroy football. YAAYY 🙁
To hell with what
The Premier League want or think
The Premier League is only one league in Europe & it's about high time that the owners of
The Premier League clubs where made to remember that.
To be honest apart from increasing the number of clubs in the so could
Champions League this sounds like a good idea.
The so could Champions League is dieing as far as fans out with
The Premier League are considered it boring now a days same old clubs making it out of the groups why should we even care after the group stage.
The last time the Champions League was in any way in intesting to none Premier League fans was 03/04 when F.C Porto won it against
A.S Monaco after that it's been as dull as ditch water to none
Premier League fans.
To be honest I would rather watch
The E.F.L Playoffs than
The last 16 of
The Champions League that's proper football not money ball like
The Champions League &
Premier League have become.
Keep Safe..
