Barnsley face six away games in April after latest League One postponement
BARNSLEY have announced that their League One game at struggling Northampton Town on Saturday week has been postponed due to international call-ups.
It’s the second time this season that a Reds game against the Cobblers has been postponed, with the reverse fixture at Oakwell, during the November international hiatus, also having to be rescheduled due to players being called up.
The trip to Sixfields has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 28, with a 7.45pm kick-off – and it means that Barnsley will have Tuesday night away fixtures on the final three weeks of the regular season.
All told, they will hit the road on no less than six occasions in April.
The Reds have been inactive on the league front during all the previous international breaks so far in 2025-26.
They also had to reschedule their original home game with Michael Duff's Wycombe Wanderers earlier this year, due to Conor Hourihane’s side being in FA Cup action at Liverpool, while their trips to Stevenage and Port Vale were also postponed due to the weather.
The original February 10 game at Stevenage was called off due to a waterlogged pitch at the Lamex Stadium – just 75 minutes before kick-off. It has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 21.
Meanwhile, a frozen pitch at Vale Park meant that their original appointment in the Potteries on January 4 also fell victim to the weather. That will now be played on Tuesday, April 14.
Along Northampton, Stevenage and Port Vale, Barnsley also visit Burton, Rotherham and Luton next month.
