Dover's National League trip to fourth-placed FC Halifax Town this weekend has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The news was announced shortly after midday following a pitch inspection.
A statement from Whites on Twitter said: "Our @TheVanaramaNL game away at @FCHTOnline on Saturday has been called off following a pitch inspection at The Shay today."
The fixture has been re-arranged for Saturday, March 12.
It is the second time this week Dover have seen a scheduled game postponed, with their home match against Notts County on Tuesday called off.
That decision infuriated Dover chairman Jim Parmenter who said the club will be making a formal complaint over the decision to call off the match, despite Whites saying the pitch had passed an earlier pitch inspection.
That game has been re-arranged for Tuesday, April 26.
Andy Hessenthaler's bottom side are next due to be in action at Aldershot on Tuesday.
