(Reuters) - English Football League Chairman Rick Parry said the League Cup is not under threat amid potential scheduling issues due to the Champions League's looming expansion, though he added that he believes the competition format needs changes.

European soccer's governing body UEFA last year made changes to its top continental club competition, approving a new format from the 2024-25 season with the group stages expanded to 36 teams from 32.

"We are realistic. We clearly know 2024 is coming. UEFA doesn't really like League Cups. We are pretty much unique now in terms of major leagues," Parry told the BBC ahead of this week's talks on the reforms.
