Boro's Championship clash with Burnley on Saturday, April 12, will kick-off at 3.07pm as part of a nationwide tribute marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
All English professional matches over the weekend of April 11-14 will kick off seven minutes later than originally scheduled.
The tribute will take place in all games in the Premier League, Football League, Football Conference and FA Cup and there will be a minute’s silence before each match.
It has been organised as “a mark of respect and remembrance” for the 96 people who lost their lives in the disaster on April 15, 1989. That FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was ended six minutes after kick-off, at 3.06pm.
Meanwhile, the Riverside will stage Boro’s Under-21 Premier League fixture against Spurs on Monday (ko 7pm).
The West Stand Lower will be open and tickets will be sold on the night from the West Stand Ticket Office, priced £3 with no concessions. Car parking is available costing £2.
