BBC- After a summer of World Cup thrills and big money transfers, a significant change to the group stages of the Champions League may have slipped under your radar.
Two games per day will kick-off at 17:55 UK time, and there’s also been a change to the later matches with all the others starting at 20:00.
Previously, most group stage fixtures started at 19:45, with some staged in eastern Europe or Russia starting two or three hours earlier.
Tottenham fans will be among the first to have to make an adjustment when their team take on Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday, while the other Group B fixture sees Barcelona host PSV Eindhoven at the same time.
None of the four English sides involved – Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs – are due to play any of their three home games at 17:55. Of the quartet, only United are scheduled to play all six ties at 20:00. Find out more
