A recent survey indicates that over 70% of coaches in South Korea's K-League support changing the league's schedule from March-November to align with the European format, which starts in late August. This shift aims to address concerns over extreme summer heat affecting player performance and fan safety, as well as to enhance player transfer opportunities.
The Korea Meteorological Administration reports rising temperatures, with summers extending and winters shortening. The K-League's potential transition could mirror Japan's recent schedule change, which aims to improve financial outcomes and align with the Asian Champions League.
