Champions League matches could move to weekends with Premier League played in midweek, claims industry source
It has been reported that Champions League matches will move to weekends in the not too distant future.Dugout chairman Elliot Richardson posted on Wednesday that hes been informed domestic fixtures will be shifted to Tuesdays and Wednesdays on European gameweeks as part of what would be a major shake-up in the football calendar.1

The Champions League could become a weekend affair

This would result in split kick-off times which are favourable to engage Asian and American audiences, hence the supposed desire for the move.The claim comes not too long after talk of a European Super League re-emerged earlier this season.

There is a lot happening in the football world right now. I hear from very good sources that CL will be moving to weekends. Domestic games on those weeks will move to mid-week. Means split kick off times and brings in Asia and Americas audiences. Changes domestic rights packages.— Elliot Richardson (@ElliotR1971) January 9, 2019

In November, Arsenal chiefs confirmed they were among the top clubs involved in discussions about the idea, which was initially made public by Der Spiegel.Such speculation has now quietened down again, although it is possible that switching European football to weekend dates could be the first step towards familiarising fans with the concept of a Super League.
