Champions League Reform from 2027-28
The Champions League holders will play a standalone opening fixture at home starting from the 2027-28 season.
This "marquee" fixture will take place on a Tuesday night, marking the beginning of the Champions League, while other opening-round games will be split across Wednesday and Thursday nights.
This change is part of a new strategy for the next broadcast cycle, from 2027 to 2033, as announced by UC3, a joint venture between UEFA and European Football Clubs.
A "global first-pick" package will be available, suitable for a streaming giant like DAZN, Netflix or Disney.
