⚽️ No EPL (English Premier League) matches this weekend [View all]

Premier League suspended after death of Queen Elizabeth II

The Premier League has suspended this weekend's fixtures as a mark of respect after the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96.

The decision to postpone all matches from Saturday and Monday was taken after a Premier League shareholders meeting on Friday, which was held after an earlier meeting involving the British government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport and representatives from a range of sports.

The English Football League (EFL) and Women's Super League (WSL) have also decided to postpone their round of fixtures this weekend.

The Premier League did not hold a vote on postponement; instead, the board made the decision and the clubs agreed.
