The 2022/23 Scottish Premiership fixtures are out, but Hearts fans should expect a few changes to their schedule.
The Jambos kick-off the campaign at home to Ross County at the end of July, but from mid-August, they’ll be playing Thursday-Sunday until at least November.
Robbie Neilson guided his side to a comfortable third placed finish last term and thanks to also reaching the Scottish Cup final, guaranteed European group stage football.
They enter the Europa League play-off round, leaving just 180 minutes away from the lucrative group stage.
There’s a safety net in place however, as they’ll drop straight into the same stage of the Europa Conference league should they be knocked out.
That will still net them a cool £3.5million in revenue.
But finishing best of the rest again could prove trickier given Hearts ' additional workload.
A number of games will need to be moved due to their commitments on the continent with the Jambos facing a hectic schedule during the second half of 2022.
