Clubs were due to let in a quarter of their stadium’s capacity from October 1 under plans to socially distance fans - with some having recently held trial events.
But Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that he will “review” plans to return audiences to stadiums from that date.
Downing Street has put the plans on hold after government scientists deemed the prevalence of the virus is currently too high for supporters to return to stadiums across the country.
Mr Johnson told a No.10 press conference: “We must revise plans to pilot larger audiences in stadiums & review our intention to return audiences to stadiums from the 1st October."
