Five fixtures worth your time during a subdued Saturday of EFL football
30.09.26, 18:42 Updated 30.09.26, 18:43
Thanks to a prolonged international schedule, there are only 11 matches across the EFL this weekend, and only three of them are not League Two.
The Championship does not return for another week, and the international break has taken a big bite out of the two divisions below it as well. Under the EFL's rules, a club can request a postponement when three or more first-team players are called up, and plenty have. As a result, plenty of fixtures have been postponed including Barnet against York City, which would have shaped up as a real blockbuster given the sides' current form.
Of course, there are still some games worth watching if you're after some pre-England entertainment. The international breaks can provide a good opportunity for teams to get ahead and register some extra points whilst their divisional rivals are forced to wait. Here are five that I think will be worth watching in particular.
