UCL: Eight-Team Groups - Premier League not in support

UCL

Premier League clubs have opposed proposed changes to the Champions League format from the 2024-25 season, one of which would see four groups of eight teams resulting in more matches.


According to reports, the European Club Association, led by Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, plans to meet Uefa in May to discuss the revamp.

English clubs have highlighted "significant concerns" about the plans.

They added they would work to "protect" the Premier League.

Their fear is that the increase of group-stage games - from six to 14 - would affect the schedule of the domestic league. BBC Sport
