Ayr United's clash with Raith Rovers on Tuesday night has been brought forward following talks with league bosses.
The sides were due to meet in the rearranged cinch Championship game which had to be called off on Saturday due to a Covid outbreak at Somerset.
But with the new date set to go up against Scotland's World Cup qualifer in Austria, club officials have agreed to a rethink.
Ayr this afternoon confirmed that following discussions with the SPFL, the game will now kick off at the earlier time of 6pm.
A Somerset spokesperson said: "After our game with Raith was called off at the weekend, the SPFL were keen to have the match played as quickly as possible due to more potential Covid disruption as the season goes on.
"Yesterday (Tuesday 31st ) was not an option as our players were still isolating therefore we were advised the game should be played on Tuesday, September 7 or Wednesday, September 8 as both clubs have midweek fixtures throughout September.
"As a club we have to look after the interests of our players and after lengthy period away from training it was felt that that playing Raith on the Tuesday night and giving the players an extra day recovery before facing Dunfermline on the Saturday would give us the best chance in that fixture.
"We did not want to be in the situation of asking our supporters to choose between one of our fixtures and a Scotland World Cup qualifier but also appreciate that the game should be played as soon as possible in case of future fixture issues.
"We understand that moving the game to 6pm will not suit everyone, however, we felt that it will give more people an opportunity to watch the majority of the Scotland game along with our match.
"The support of our fans is crucial to us, as was shown in the cup game against Dundee United, tickets for the game are on sale now and we would hugely appreciate your backing, under the lights at Somerset on Tuesday."
