Premier League clubs believe this weekend's games are 'almost certain' to be postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The nation will come to a standstill in the coming days to reflect on the Queen's extraordinary 70-year reign with 10 days of official mourning for the Monarch.
That means the sporting schedule will be completely halted with this weekend's football, rugby and cricket fixtures set to be affected.
It comes after golfing action at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth was suspended on Thursday 'until further notice' when news broke of the Queen's death.
