The match will now take place on Tuesday, April 14, with kick-off set for 8pm at St Mary’s Stadium. The fixture required rescheduling due to Southampton’s continued participation in the FA Cup, which has created scheduling conflicts with the original Championship calendar.
This rescheduling represents a positive development for Saints supporters, as it confirms the club’s progress to the semi-final stage of England’s premier cup competition. Reaching the FA Cup semi-final marks a significant achievement for Southampton, potentially offering a route to Wembley Stadium and silverware.

The 8pm start time could impact supporters with work commitments or those relying on public transport following the match.
For Southampton’s Championship campaign, the fixture rescheduling adds another match to what will likely be a condensed fixture list as the season progresses. The Saints will need to manage their squad effectively across both the FA Cup semi-final and their league commitments.
The rescheduled date falls during a typically busy period of the football calendar, when Championship clubs are pushing toward the season’s conclusion. Southampton will face Blackburn Rovers knowing that every Championship point remains valuable for their final league position.
