Crystal Palace and West Ham are among a number of clubs who be affected by a major European shake-up.
Members of the European Club Association have been meeting this week in Amsterdam to discuss changes to the format of European competitions in the coming years.
They've also been discussing a proposal from FIFA president Gianni Infantino for a global club competition.
The ECA, which includes membership from clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle and Leicester have been discussing how football on the continent could change in the years to come, as well as a proposal for a Champions League 2.
It's the 22nd general assembly of the ECA who will conclude their meeting tomorrow.
On the agenda are possible changes to the Champions League and Europa League from 2024 onwards, as well as the launch of UEFA's third competition - the Europa League 2.
It's that competition which Crystal Palace, West Ham and a host of others will be keeping a close eye on.
If the proposal for the competition is passed, it would see European football open up to more teams that ever before, giving clubs such as Palace the opportunity to experience football on the continent.

However at this stage it's not clear how qualification for the competition would work if successfully passed.
There has been much speculation about the Champions League talks, particularly as the ECA's 15-strong executive board met UEFA in Nyon last week, but both parties issued near-identical statements after that, saying it was an ‘informal brainstorming session’ and the ‘first of a series of meetings amongst stakeholders in the months ahead.’
It's also thought that the ECA are opposed to Infantino's proposal for a club World Cup which could see 24 teams from around the world - including eight from Europe - in a competition that would run through June and July.
