SKY CONFIRM: Burton Albion vs Wigan Athletic Clash Rescheduled Due to Operational Issue
Sky Sports has confirmed that the upcoming League One fixture between Burton Albion and Wigan Athletic has been officially rescheduled. Originally set to take place this weekend at the Pirelli Stadium, the match will now be played at a later date due to unforeseen operational issues affecting the hosting arrangements.
In a statement released earlier today, Burton Albion acknowledged that a logistical complication had arisen, citing essential stadium maintenance that could not be completed in time for the original matchday. Club officials stressed that the decision was made in conjunction with EFL authorities and in full cooperation with Wigan Athletic to ensure the safety and comfort of all involved parties.
Wigan Athletic, who were due to travel to Staffordshire for the clash, expressed understanding and support for the change, though admitted disappointment at the late disruption to their preparations. The Latics are currently in pursuit of a playoff push and will now have to adjust their training schedule accordingly.
A new date for the fixture is expected to be announced in the coming days, with ticketing information and broadcasting arrangements to follow. Supporters of both clubs are advised to retain their match tickets, which will remain valid for the rearranged fixture.
Sky Sports will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
