The two South Coast derbies between Southampton and Portsmouth next season have both been moved to Sunday kick-offs.
The game at St Mary's will now go ahead on Sunday, 11 October (12:00 BST) with the return at Fratton Park on Sunday, 28 February (12:00 GMT).
The two sides met last season in the Championship for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign following Southampton's relegation from the Premier League.
Both games ended in draws with a goalless stalemate at St Mary's in September and a 1-1 draw at Fratton Park in January.
The last league win by either side in the derby came in April 2005 when Portsmouth won 4-1 in the Premier League.
