Wigan's postponed Betfred Super League match against Widnes will take place on Friday night after all - at the Select Security Stadium.
The Warriors announced late on Thursday that Storm Doris had left their DW Stadium unfit to host both Friday's game and Saturday's Sky Bet Championship football match between Wigan Athletic and Nottingham Forest.
Sky Sports switched Friday's live game to Warrington v Castleford after the postponement was announced - a decision that stands, despite the game going ahead in Widnes.
The Rugby Football League is investigating the circumstances surrounding the initial postponement, but in the meantime the two clubs have agreed to reverse their home and away fixtures.
Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan said: "Directors of both clubs have been in discussions throughout the night and we believe that this is the best outcome for all involved.
"The DW Stadium management have agreed to shorten the pitch renovation works scheduled for the summer to allow us to accommodate the reversed fixture.
"We understand the frustration of fans at the lateness of this change but we have collectively worked together to find the best case solution under the circumstances.
"The Wigan Club will make a significant financial contribution to compensate Widnes for the short notice of the staging of this game and our sincere thanks go to Widnes CEO James Rule who has worked tirelessly with us to get this fixture on."
Rule said: "Last night's announcement from Wigan caught us by surprise. As a club we have worked into the early hours of the morning, liaising with the RFL and Wigan Warriors to ascertain the options available to us.
"We have tried to do what is best for our club, the supporters and the wider game by ensuring that this fixture could be facilitated."
Sky Sports will screen Warrington's home game against Castleford tonight, while Wigan's home game against Widnes will now take place on the weekend beginning June 30.
