Everton and Nottingham Forest have been charged with breaching Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
Premier League clubs are permitted to lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period (£35m a season). Due to Forest spending two seasons in the Championship within the latest assessment period, the maximum loss they were permitted was £61m.
The Premier League says both clubs have confirmed they are in breach of the rules for the assessment period ending season 2022/23.
Their cases have now been referred to the chair of the judicial panel, who will appoint separate, independent commissions to determine the appropriate sanction. Punishments could include a fine, points deduction or other sporting sanction.
In November, Everton were deducted 10 points - the largest sanction in the history of the Premier League - for a breach of the profit and sustainability rules. The club are appealing against their punishment.
In response to the latest charge, Everton criticised a "clear deficiency in the Premier League's rules".
Their statement read: "The Premier League does not have guidelines which prevent a club being sanctioned for alleged breaches in financial periods which have already been subject to punishment, unlike other governing bodies, including the EFL.
