What happens if a match date changes?
Match rescheduling is common in European competitions. We explain what this means for your travel and what your options are.
What AwayPlanner does
We display match dates and times as published by leagues and clubs. When fixtures change, we update our platform as soon as we receive updates. We do not operate the matches or control fixture schedules — those are set by UEFA, national leagues and competition organisers.
What airlines allow
Flight change policies depend entirely on your airline and fare type. Many budget airlines do not allow free changes. Full-service carriers often offer more flexibility, especially for fare types that include change options. You would need to contact the airline or check your booking terms to see what options you have.
What you can do
If a match is rescheduled and your flights no longer work, you can: 1) Check your fare rules for change or cancellation options, 2) Contact the airline to request a change, 3) Consider optional disruption protection if you have it, 4) Reach out to our support team — we can help you understand your options and initiate requests where possible.
Optional services that help
We may offer optional flexibility or disruption protection provided by third-party partners. These services can help mitigate the risk of match date changes. Check the terms of any protection you purchase to see what is covered.
