Nottingham Forest's appeal against their four-point punishment for breaching profit and sustainability rules (PSR) will be heard on Wednesday, 24 April.
The hearing is expected to be wrapped up within a day, but no final decision will be made on Wednesday and Forest will have to wait to discover if they are successful, with the timeframe of the outcome unclear.
It will be heard by an independent commission with the decision having a huge impact on the relegation battle.
Forest are a point above the Premier League relegation zone and go to Everton, who are a point and a place above them, on Sunday with both clubs having been deducted points after PSR breaches.
