Portsmouth FC has called off their scheduled match against Ipswich Town tonight.
The Blues were due to host Ipswich at Fratton Park this evening (Tuesday, February 3) but have cancelled the fixture just hours before kick-off.
Posting on X, a club spokesperson said: “Pompey's clash with Ipswich has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
“This is after persistent overnight rain, continuing into the morning and forecast to last until close to kick-off, has fallen on already saturated ground.”
Pompey currently sit 20th in the Championship, having beaten West Brom 3-0 at home last weekend.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are fourth and pushing for automatic promotion, sat seven points behind league leaders Coventry and Middlesborough.
