Overview

  • The LFP Board confirmed the PSG–Nantes Ligue 1 game will be played the week of April 20, with the exact date and time to be announced.
  • FC Nantes agreed to the change after PSG submitted the request following the Champions League last‑16 draw.
  • PSG sought the postponement to maximize rest and preparation between the first leg in Paris on March 11 and the return leg in London on March 17.
  • Chelsea remain scheduled to host Newcastle on March 14, reflecting that the Premier League has not historically moved domestic fixtures for European ties.
  • The approval prompted criticism over competitive balance and follows previous seasons in which the LFP rescheduled PSG league games around European matches.
