A full round of games across all levels of professional and amateur football was cancelled last weekend as a mark of respect for Her Majesty.

Since then, the Premier League, the English Football League and the FA have maintained a united stance by permitting games to be played this weekend, though not all are able to continue.

Due to multiple factors, including the intense pressures on police resources over the coming days, some matches have been postponed.

Will Premier League matches be cancelled this weekend?

The Premier League, EFL and FA opted to cancel all fixtures last weekend despite other sports going ahead.

However, a fresh statement has been made by the Premier League this week: "All Premier League matches between Friday 16th and Sunday 18th September will provide an opportunity for the League, clubs and fans to come together to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, honouring her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation and world.

"Players and match officials will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and, together with managers, will gather at the centre circle before kick-off.

"Fans will be asked to join a minute’s silence, which will be followed by the National Anthem, God Save The King.

"Big screens and LED perimeter boards will display tribute images to Her Majesty and flags at the grounds will be flying at half-mast.

"When the clock turns to 70 minutes, fans will be invited to applaud The Queen’s 70-year reign."
