The K-League game time has been partially adjusted in the midst of a record heat wave.

The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 1st that some game hours were adjusted for the 25th round of the K League 1 and the 24th round of the K League 2. According to the report, the kickoff time for the 25th round of the K League 1 match between Gangwon FC and Gimcheon Sangmu and Ulsan HD-Jeju SK has been changed from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the 9th. The venue of the game is the same as Gangneung High1 Arena and Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium. The match between Seongnam FC and Gimpo FC in the 24th round of the K League 2 was changed from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the 9th, and the match between Cheongju FC and Bucheon FC in Chungbuk was changed from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the 10th. The two games will also be held at Tancheon Stadium and Cheongju Stadium, respectively. The Professional Federation said 'All matches in the 26th to 28th rounds of the K League and 25th to 27th rounds of the K League 2 scheduled to be held in August may then be changed at the request and consultation of each club.'

Earlier, the Professional Football Federation informed each club in the K-League of their discretion to adjust the kickoff time. For August games only, the 7 p.m. kickoff was allowed to be selected between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. However, the consent of the home and away clubs is essential. The measure is limited to the August game, but it may be extended until September depending on the situation.
