Carnegie Challenge Cup finalists Catalans Dragons believe they have been given a raw deal ahead of their historic rugby league appearance at Wembley next week.
Their game at Warrington has been switched from Saturday to Sunday with an evening kick-off, while their Wembley opponents St Helens play on Friday night at Salford.
Catalans coach Mick Potter said: "Recovery time is very important, particularly when you are preparing for the biggest game in your history.
"We need all the help we can get against St Helens and I'm very disappointed that Sky have decided to move the Warrington game from Saturday to Sunday.
"It means we have to get up at 3.30am to fly back to Perpignan so we'll have only three days before flying back to England for the final."
