Wet weather across the UK has led to the postponement of several Boxing Day fixtures in the Football League.

Blackburn Rovers' Championship match with leaders Middlesbrough is one of 10 Football League fixtures to be called off due to wet weather on Boxing Day.

Middlesbrough were scheduled to visit Ewood Park and look to at least maintain their two-point lead at the top of the table. However, persistent rain has led to the postponement of the fixture. 

In League One, Blackpool's game with Oldham, Bradford City's match with Burton Albion, Barnsley's visit to Bury and the games between Rochdale and Crewe Alexandra and Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United are off.

The Scottish Premier League matches fixtures between Dundee United and Motherwell and Patrick Thistle and St Johnstone are also off.
