Queen Elizabeth II death live updates: King Charles III to speak as Britain’s national mourning begins



The English Premier League, England’s top-level soccer league, announced Friday morning that it would postpone its matches scheduled for this weekend following the death of the queen. “At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” the organization said in a statement. “To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.”

The postponement of the 10 scheduled matches was the most notable change to the sports calendar in the wake of the queen’s death, given the league’s global prominence.
