OXFORD United’s final day clash at home to Accrington Stanley will be pushed back a day due to the coronation of King Charles III.
The English Football League (EFL) has this afternoon confirmed when final day fixtures will take place.
King Charles will be crowned on Saturday, May 6, meaning matches have been reshuffled.
In line with the rest of Sky Bet League One, the U’s will welcome Stanley to the Kassam Stadium on Sunday, May 7, with kick-off at 12pm.

League Two will then round off games the following day at 12.30pm, before the Championship comes to a close with 3pm kick-offs.
An EFL statement read: “The confirmed schedule was approved by the EFL board at its recent meeting and follows consultation with stakeholders.”
United drew 1-1 at Stanley last month as James Henry’s goal was cancelled out by an Ethan Hamilton strike from distance.
