Manchester United’s Champions League clash with Como is facing possible postponement after severe weather warnings were issued in northern Italy.
An orange weather alert has raised concerns over heavy rainfall and thunderstorms around Como, putting the safety of players and supporters under scrutiny. United have already travelled to Italy for the fixture scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
What do UEFA’s rules say?
Under Article 27 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League regulations, if a match cannot start or be completed on the scheduled day, it should, as a general rule, be played the following day.
If that is not possible, UEFA will determine a new date, potentially requiring adjustments to the competition calendar.
A postponement could create a scheduling headache for Como, who are due to face Sassuolo on Saturday, while Manchester United are scheduled to play Bournemouth on Sunday.
However, the match has not automatically been postponed, and reports indicate that it is still expected to go ahead, depending on weather and pitch conditions.
