Burnley have asked fans to get to the stadium ahead of time for their Tuesday evening league game against Charlton Athletic, citing stricter security procedures and events before the match. The club stated the game begins at 7:45pm, with gates opening at 6:15pm.

Fans who come less than 20 minutes before the start may not reach their seats in time because of extra random checks. More thorough searches at the venue could slow down the process of getting in, and identification might be requested as per normal ticket rules. Additional inspections of bags will occur in premium sections and the designated fan area.

The fan area will be accessible from late afternoon until the game starts, with the Burnley team bus due to arrive near there from 6pm. Fans are invited to assemble to greet the manager and players. A display with lights is scheduled before the match begins. The club shop opens in the morning and stays open, while the ticket office has specific opening hours. Refreshments will be available in stadium areas, with payments being card-only.

A main road near the ground will be shut to vehicles in the evening, and the club requests consideration from those parking in local streets. The official match programme can be bought at the shop or from vendors.

Burnley approach the fixture near the bottom of the league table after a recent draw with the same opponents. The team has a number of players out injured. A former Charlton athlete is expected to be absent after a problem in his recovery. Another player's comeback might be delayed, while several others are out with leg injuries.

Charlton, under their manager, come from a draw and have some players returning. Two of their squad members are injured. In past encounters between the sides, Burnley have won more often. The match official has been named.

The club repeated its stadium rules, noting that going onto the playing area is illegal and that throwing objects leads to long bans. Prejudiced conduct can be reported secretly via text message, to staff, or through an application. Burnley emphasized its inclusive stance, stating abusive language is a crime.

The work of the club's chosen charity for the year will be featured. Followers in certain countries can view the game via an online service. Information on player fitness is found on a club page.
