Bolton Wanderers’ postponed match against Brentford will now take place two days after the end of the regular Championship season.
The match was due to take place on April 27 but the Bolton players went on strike over unpaid wages.
It has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 7.
However, the EFL said that if Wanderers are placed into administration then they would not insist on the game being played.
The club have been in turmoil this season with wages being paid late on more than one occasion.
Former Watford owner Laurence Bassini agreed a deal to buy the club from Ken Anderson and has been given 48 hours to prove he has the financial clout to complete the sale.
On Thursday, he told talkSPORT what the stumbling blocks were to completing the takeover.
Bolton have already been relegated to League One after a dismal season on the pitch.
An EFL statement said: “The EFL Board has determined that Bolton Wanderers’ suspended Sky Bet Championship fixture with Brentford is to be played on Tuesday 7 May, 2019 and the club (Bolton) has been instructed to make the necessary arrangements.
“As previously advised, EFL Regulations provide that any League match can be played within four days of the end of the normal playing season (Sunday 5 May, 2019).

“The board also discussed the potential of Bolton Wanderers being placed into administration and took the view if that was to happen, the EFL would not insist the game be played.
“The rationale for adopting that approach is that it is the board’s view that any administrator should be allowed to concentrate their efforts and available funding on finding a purchaser for the club, rather than staging the fixture in these unprecedented circumstances.
“The EFL is also aware that the club’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is due to meet tomorrow and we would advise all supporters to wait until the details for the game are confirmed by the club before making any travel arrangements.â€
