According to the Terriers, this is to accommodate rugby league side Huddersfield Giants and their final Super League game of the season.
“Our upcoming home fixture against Blackpool has been rearranged for Sunday, September 4 at 3pm to accommodate Huddersfield Giants’ final Super League fixture of their season,” the club said in a statement.
“In order for the Giants to play in line with the rest of their competition at the end of their regular season, our fixture will now be played on Sunday, providing staff of both sides the time required to prepare the John Smith’s Stadium for football.”
