Town’s home derby against Norwich City has provisionally been moved to Sunday 21st August with a midday kick-off, although this could still change if Sky want to show the match live, while the game against Bristol City at Portman Road has switched to Friday 30th December (KO 7.45pm).
The club say they will clarify the scheduling of the Norwich game as soon as they are able to do so.

As with the switch of the visit to Burton Albion to Good Friday, the game against the Robins has been moved to give the players an additional day in which to recover ahead of their next match.
