PSV have seen a domestic fixture switch ahead of their Champions League showdown with Rangers.
The Dutch outfit's Eredivisie game with FC Volendam has been moved to allow "thorough" preparation for the Euro tie.
A club statement read: "As PSV have booked a spot in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, the match versus FC Volendam, originally scheduled to take place on Saturday 20 August, has been moved to Wednesday 31 August, with an 18.45 kick-off.
"The match at home to FC Volendam was to take place in between the two play-off games. By moving the FC Volendam fixture, PSV will have an opportunity to prepare thoroughly for the decisive second play-off leg in the Philips Stadion on 24 August. Ruud van Nistelrooij will face Rangers FC in the UEFA Champions League play-off.
"Rangers progressed to the play-offs after a 3-2 win on aggregate against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise. The Belgians registered a 2-0 win in the first leg but Rangers overcame the two-goal deficit, winning 3-0 in Glasgow."
