- Leicester City’s Premier League opener against Wolves moved to Sunday 11 August
- Fixture date had been pending Wolves’ UEFA Europa League progress
- Pre-emptive decision to confirm Sunday taken by both clubs to give certainty to supporters
Originally scheduled to take place on Saturday 10 August, the fixture at King Power Stadium remained subject to change, pending Wolves’ potential involvement in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League the preceding Thursday (8 August).
However, as Wolves’ potential progress in the competition will not be determined until eight days before the Premier League’s opening weekend, both clubs have taken the pre-emptive step of confirming the fixture on Sunday 11 August (kick-off 2pm) in any case.
The decision has been taken to provide certainty to supporters of both clubs planning to attend the match as early as possible and to avoid the possibility of plans being disrupted at short notice.
Home tickets for the match will go on sale from Monday 8 July, with prices and priority processes to be confirmed in due course.
The new fixture details are below:
Leicester City vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers
King Power Stadium
Sunday 11 August, 2019
Kick-off: 2pm BST
