The match was set to be played at the Pirelli Stadium with Burton currently struggling near the relegation zone. However, the match has now been rescheduled for Saturday, February 8 and will kick off at 3pm. The decision was made as Sky Sports have opted to show other events instead.

The Carabao Cup semi-final second leg between Liverpool and Tottenham and the Premier League Darts first night are both set for that date. This means the match will no longer be broadcast on television for fans. Blackpool confirmed the change with a statement in which it claimed the late move was "not ideal".

"However, with other sporting events now taking place on the same night, Sky Sports will now no longer televise the fixture between Pool and the Brewers. "Whilst moving the fixture at this late stage isn’t ideal, the club’s number one priority is ensuring as many fans can attend as possible and the club alongside Burton Albion have agreed moving the fixture back to Saturday at 3pm will provide more fans with the opportunity to attend the game.
