Manchester City's appeal against a two-year ban from European soccer will be heard over three days in June, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said Tuesday.
CAS set aside June 8-10 for the case. It is unclear if a hearing will be held in person at the court or by video link.
No timetable was set for a verdict but a ruling is needed before English teams enter next season's Champions League draw. The draw in Monaco is scheduled for Aug. 27 but could be pushed back because of the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
Man City was banned by UEFA in February for "serious breaches" of financial monitoring rules and failing to cooperate with investigators. The English champions have been accused of deceiving UEFA in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
Announcing its verdict three months ago, UEFA said City was guilty of "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016."
"They are simply not true," City CEO Ferran Soriano said of the allegations in February in an in-house interview. "We have to be respectful as we have been of this process."
