Sunderland will have no Boxing Day game after their visit to Doncaster Rovers was picked for live TV coverage and rescheduled as a result.
The Black Cats' trip to the Keepmoat Stadium will be screened by Sky and will now take place on Monday, December 27 - which is a Bank Holiday - with kick-off at 12.30pm.
As a result of that change, Sunderland's next two games over the festive period have also been moved.
The game against Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light which had been scheduled for Wednesday, December 29, has been put back 24 hours and will now take place on Thursday, December 30, with kick-off at 7.45pm.
And their home game against Fleetwood Town, which had been due to be played on New Year's Day, has also been put back 24 hours and will now be played on Sunday, January 2, with kick-off at 1pm.
