Compétitions européennes : l’UEFA modifie la règle sur les suspensions pour cartons jaunes
UEFA is making a significant change to its disciplinary regulations ahead of the 2026-2027 season. The European football governing body has decided to raise the threshold at which a player or staff member is automatically suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
Starting next season, suspensions will be imposed after four yellow cards, compared to three previously. This new rule will apply to the three main European club competitions: the Champions League, the Europa League, and the Conference League.
Suspensions now spaced out
UEFA has also changed the mechanism that applies after a first suspension. Once the threshold of four yellow cards is reached, the player or staff member will be suspended. Subsequent sanctions will then be applied every two additional yellow cards.
Thus, a new suspension will be issued after the sixth, eighth, tenth yellow cards, and then with each new accumulation of two warnings.
This development aims in particular to standardize the disciplinary system in European competitions and to offer a more coherent framework for monitoring warnings throughout the season.
The reform will come into effect at the start of the 2026-2027 European season and will affect all clubs involved in UEFA competitions.
