UEFA Set to Meet With Europe's Top Clubs to Discuss Radical Champions League Transformation

Europe's top clubs will meet with UEFA in Nyon, Switzerland, on Tuesday to discuss radical changes to the structure of the Champions League, which could lead to matches being played on weekends.

The meeting is considered a "brainstorming session" with a multitude of topics under discussion including a revamp of the Champions League qualification process into a simpler relegation and promotion format.

The alterations would come into effect following the 2024 season, with the major Premier League clubs said to be the most ardent critics of UEFA's structural proposals, out of fear of damaging the valuable television deals that has seen England's top flight become the wealthiest league in the world.
