Colchester United will play at Notts County on Saturday 25th November, as originally scheduled.
Following the EFL fixture lists coming out on June 21st, it was agreed to move the Notts County v Colchester United fixture to Sunday 26th November to avoid a clash with Nottingham Forest's home game against Cardiff City on the same Saturday.
Since then, as a result of Nottingham Forest’s game against Leeds on 26th August being selected for live coverage by Sky Sports, Notts County agreed to move their game that day to Sunday 27th August.
The knock-on effect of that means that Nottingham Forest have agreed with the Magpies to move their game against Cardiff City from 25th November so both sides move one game each.
Therefore, the U's will visit Meadow Lane on Saturday 25th November, as first scheduled, with the usual kick-off time of 3pm.

Like it or not their fan base is a lot bigger than ours and many others in the league. They don't deserve special treatment by being selected constantly but if it's what keeps the sky subscriptions up I can see why they do it.
Forest away 1pm on the Sunday
