Premier League chief executive Richard Masters fears this year’s Club World Cup could create “great difficulty” for Manchester City and Chelsea ahead of next season’s English top-flight campaign.

The two clubs will be England’s representatives in FIFA’s expanded 32-team event in the United States, with players’ unions threatening legal action on welfare grounds and national leagues unhappy about the potential knock-on effects on their own competitions.

The Club World Cup final is due to be played on July 13, with the 2025/26 Premier League season starting on August 16.

“The leagues and the players’ unions are not happy with the decisions that are being taken at a global level,” Masters told Sky Sports.

“We’ve seen the Club World Cup come in, and obviously that is going to have an impact on the Premier League.
“If either Manchester City or Chelsea get to the final of that competition, the Premier League starts four weeks later, and all players are supposed to have three weeks off as part of the contractual commitment.

“So how does that work? With great difficulty, I would say.”
Masters, meanwhile, insisted English football is “not on a financial precipice” as he reiterated the Premier League’s concerns about the potential impact of an independent regulator on the game.

The Premier League spent more than £45 million ($56 million) in legal costs during the 2023/24 season as it attempted to uphold its rules amid challenges from clubs.
