According to a press release from the Ligová fotbalová asociace (LFA) published on August 10, 2026, FK Jablonec will have their upcoming Chance Liga fixture against Bohemians Praha 1905 postponed to September 2, 2026, at 20:00 if the North Czech club successfully advances past RFS Riga in the UEFA Europa Conference League. The initial league match was originally scheduled for Sunday, August 16, at 17:00 at Ďolíček stadium.
Jablonec Prepares for Conference League Playoff Decision
The North Czech side enters Thursday’s return leg with a 2:0 aggregate advantage secured during the home leg last week against RFS Riga, according to club statements. If manager Luboš Kozel’s squad finishes the job in Latvia, they will advance to the final fourth qualifying round. There, they would face the loser of the matchup between Jagiellonia Bialystok and Rangers FC, with the Polish team currently holding a 2:1 lead from the first leg, as reported by league and club sources.
LFA executive director Tomáš Bárta noted that because the club submitted its request well in advance, officials decided to clarify the scheduling protocol ahead of Thursday night’s decisive fixtures. “Since the request arrived early enough, we consider it correct that both clubs know precisely how LFA will proceed in the event of a successful result for Jablonec,” Bárta stated in an official release reported by lfafotbal.cz.
Hradec Králové Reschedules Following European Commitments
Jablonec joins fellow European contender Hradec Králové in adjusting domestic league duties. According to tournament schedules, the “Votroci” secured a postponement last week for their fourth-round match against league newcomers Zbrojovka Brno, which was also initially set for Sunday. Hradec Králové will now travel to Brno on September 2 at 18:00, according to official league updates.
Manager David Horejš’s team faces a tight turnaround after dropping a 1:0 home decision to Beşiktaş Istanbul in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round despite playing with a man advantage. The return leg in Turkey falls on Thursday. If Hradec Králové fails to overturn the deficit, they will drop into the Conference League qualifiers to face the winner between Panathinaikos Athens and CSKA 1948 Sofia.
