Overview
- France’s league board unanimously voted Thursday to move PSG’s April 11 visit to Lens to May 13, creating a free week between the Champions League legs against Liverpool.
- The LFP said the change supports France’s UEFA coefficient, the ranking that decides how many Champions League spots Ligue 1 receives.
- Lens had opposed the delay, warning of a 15‑day layoff followed by matches every three days, and later acknowledged the decision while stating their disagreement.
- Strasbourg’s April 12 game at Brest was also moved to May 13 to help prepare for a Europa Conference League quarter-final against Mainz.
- The shift gives PSG extra rest while Liverpool face Fulham on April 11, drawing fan backlash and renewing debate over French fixture moves for clubs in European knockouts.
