Fixture congestion

Fixture congestion

Fixture congestion is a term used in sports to describe a team playing too many matches in a short space of time.

In football, extended runs in cup competitions can cause fixture congestion. A team may appeal to a governing body to extend their season but it not compulsory for a governing body to act upon a request.
