The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport released a statement yesterday confirming ‘there is no obligation’ to postpone sporting fixtures. The Premier League and EFL confirmed their matches will be postponed, with details on further games during the period of mourning and rearrangements to follow. If next week's matches are postponed then there could be no Premier League football until October 1 - nearly a month away - because of the upcoming international break. The English Football League also confirmed that Friday night's Championship game between Burnley and Norwich and the League Two match between Tranmere and Stockport had been postponed. The Scottish Professional Football League also announced that Friday evening's Championship clash between Dundee and Cove Rangers was off as a result of the Queen's passing.
