Talks are taking place about whether EFL games will still go ahead this weekend after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Football League say they will make an announcement as soon as possible.
Carlisle United are due to take on Harrogate Town in an away game in League Two on Saturday.
But official discussions will now determine whether that and other fixtures will take place.
The League have already announced that two scheduled EFL games on Friday night - Burnley v Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County - will be postponed as a mark of respect.
A decision on Saturday's games is expected soon. "A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend’s scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning," the EFL said.
That followed an earlier statement released by the League shortly after Her Majesty's passing was announced on Thursday evening.
It said: "Consideration in respect of EFL fixtures will be discussed with the Government and the wider sport sector during the period ahead and an appropriate announcement will be made at the earliest opportunity."
It is with a huge amount of sadness that we join the rest of this great nation in mourning the passing of our Queen.

Carlisle United joined the nation in paying tribute to the Queen. In a statement on social media, the Blues said: "It is with a huge amount of sadness that we join the rest of this great nation in mourning the passing of our Queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth II."
The EFL's chair Rick Parry paid tribute to the monarch and referred to her involvement in the national game.
“Today, the EFL was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II," Mr Pary said.
“Over a 70-year reign, Her Majesty proudly served the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with distinction.
“The Queen had a keen interest in sport including football. Her Majesty attended numerous FA Cup Finals throughout her reign and was an advocate for our national sport through her many years of service.
“The Monarch was at Wembley Stadium in 1966 for perhaps our national game’s most famous moment to present captain Bobby Moore with the Jules Rimet Trophy after England beat West Germany to win the World Cup.
“On behalf of the League and its clubs, we join the rest of the nation and people across the world in mourning the passing of our Queen, Elizabeth II.
“The thoughts of everybody at the EFL and our clubs are with the Royal Family at this sad time for our country.”
Other Cumbrian football clubs have joined in the tributes.
Barrow AFC said: "Barrow Association Football Club joins the Nation in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. May she rest in peace."
Workington Reds said: "Everyone at Workington AFC share their sadness following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth earlier this afternoon, we send our thoughts and prayers to the Royal Family."
The Cumberland Football Association said: "Cumberland FA is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. We join the nation in mourning, and express our sincere condolences to the Royal Family."
Northbank FC added: "Northbank FC is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our Monarch, Our Sovereign, Our Queen. We join the nation in mourning, and express our sincere condolences to the Royal Family."
Football fixtures continued after the death of the previous monarch, King George VI, in 1952.
