This comes in the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96.

This is a mark of respect for the UK’s longest serving Monarch.

As the UK enters 12 days of mourning the FA the decision was taken to suspend all Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two and Non-League matches.

In a statement the EFL indicated that details regarding rearranged games will be announced in due course.

“Further to discussions on Friday morning it has been determined that all EFL fixtures from 9-10 September will be postponed as a mark of respect by the National Sport to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

“This is aligned with the approach that the Premier League and the FA will take with their competitions this weekend. Further information, in respect of how football, clubs and their supporters will commemorate Her Majesty's reign will be confirmed at an appropriate point.

“Details regarding rearranged games will be announced in due course.”
