The Irish Football Association has suspended all local football until April 4 due to the coronavirus.
In a statement released this afternoon, the association said: "The Irish FA Board has met today. In response to the evolving situation around Coronavirus (Covid-19) and having listened to partners throughout the football family, the Board has suspended the current football season, at both domestic and grassroots level.
"The decision has been made with public health but, equally, the health and safety of players, match officials, staff and volunteers front of mind.
"We expect games to restart on Saturday 4 April 2020. The matter will be kept under constant review.
"This means no affiliated football will be played in Northern Ireland until that time."
The news comes after a Linfield player tested positive for coronavirus.
Earlier today, all top-level English and Scottish football was postponed and yesterday the GAA suspended all activity.
