The Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) held a call with all major sports at 9.30am to determine the plan of action for the rest of this weekend's calendar and left the decision over events up to the individual organisations.
However, the Premier League and EFL released a statement saying they had made the decision to postpone this weekend's fixtures to honour Queen Elizabeth's 'extraordinary life and contribution to the nation'.
The Premier League released the following statement: 'At a meeting, this morning [Friday], Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
'To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening's game.'
Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive, added: 'We and our clubs would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty's long and unwavering service to our country.
'As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.
'This is a tremendously sad time for not just the nation but also for the millions of people around the world who admired her, and we join together with all those in mourning her passing.'
According to the Daily Telegraph, there are now concerns about football taking place next week with police set to be redeployed to the Queen's funeral in London.
