The clash between the Yorkshire rivals at the Club Doncaster Sports Village will now take place on Thursday, November 26. The game will kick-off at 8pm for live TV coverage, as part of Sky Sports' latest set of television picks.

It is the second Rovers game to be shifted, with their first home clash of the campaign - Barnsley on August 22, 12.30pm - also being brought forward. The latest selections cover up until early January, 2027 meaning Rovers fans can at least plan fixtures between now and then with a degree of certainty.

Saturday sees Rovers host Lincoln City in their final friendly before a trip to Stockport County on August 8 in the Carabao Cup first round. The League One campaign gets underway seven days later with Grant McCann's men travelling to Mansfield.
