Latics’ National League fixture against Wealdstone on Tuesday night has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
A pitch inspection took place ahead of the scheduled departure of the Oldham camp and it was decided that the game could not go ahead as planned.
A club statement said there is "currently standing water in a number of areas on the pitch with freezing temperatures forecast overnight and throughout tomorrow.”
Details of the re-arranged fixture will be confirmed “in due course”.
David Unsworth’s side were hoping to make it back-to-back victories in the league following their emphatic 5-1 win at Dorking earlier this month.
They currently sit 20th in the table - two points above the drop zone despite having played at least one game fewer than the sides around them.
Meanwhile, Wealdstone are in ninth place and just a point behind the top seven at this stage of the campaign.
The Stones’ home fixture against Chesterfield last week was also called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Wealdstone ran out 2-1 winners when the sides met at Boundary Park back in August despite Ben Tollitt's goal early in the second half.
Latics' next scheduled fixture takes place this weekend when they host sixth-place Southend United.
