Liverpool, Barcelona And Tottenham Fans: Don't Forget The New Champions League Kick Off Times On Tuesday Night

Liverpool, Barcelona And Tottenham Fans: Don't Forget The New Champions League Kick Off Times On Tuesday Night
09:59, 17 Sep 2018

The Champions League kicks off this week and there are some mouthwatering clashes to look forward to on match day one, but fans will need to be careful not to miss them...

Football fanatics across the country will be looking forward to that familiar anthem belting out at 7.45pm (BST) on Tuesday night, right?

Wrong.

There is a massive upheaval for the tournament this season with the kick off times changing meaning football fans might be left scrambling to be in front of TV for the start of the matches.

No longer will all the group fixtures kick off at the traditional 7,45pm, now there will be two different start times, with games now getting underway at 5.55pm and 8pm.

Two matches will be starting in the early slot each game day, including on Tuesday night when Barcelona host PSV and Spurs travel to Inter for the first early slate of the season.

The remaining fixtures will all start at 8pm, including Liverpool v PSG which is shaping up to be a classic encounter in the Champions League as Neymar and co roll into town.

Spurs fans are the ones that may suffer as they race home from work to get in front of the TV for a massive match in Italy but these new times are here to stay, as UEFA try to get more matches shown live on TV.

It will certainly take some getting used to for football fans given how many years the 7.45pm start time has been in use but as always, money talks.
