Irish Premiership: Champions Larne begin title defence at home
The fixtures for the 2024/25 season have been released
Last updated 25th Jun 2024
The new season’s Sports Direct Premiership fixtures have been revealed for the openong weekend of the 2024/25 season on Saturday August 10th.
Eight months of action will begin with twelve clubs competing in the 33-game regular season, before the top and bottom half ‘split’ for the final five games – to eventually crown the winner of the Gibson Cup by Saturday April 26th 2025.
Kicking off the new Sports Direct Premiership season, reigning champions Larne begin the defence of the Gibson Cup at home to last season’s surprise package Loughgall.
In one of opening day’s the stand-out fixtures, new Crusaders manager Declan Caddell heralds in a new era with the club as they travel across the city to take on Declan Devine’s new-look Glentoran side.
Another new era beckons at Coleraine, as new head coach Dean Shiels begins life in the dugout against his former club Dungannon Swifts on the opening weekend. Linfield will be looking to bring the Premiership title back to Windsor Park, starting with a trip to face Ballymena United at the Showgrounds.
Newly promoted Portadown return to the top-flight with a tricky trip to North Belfast to face Irish Cup holders Cliftonville at Solitude, whilst Carrick Rangers host Glenavon at the Loughview Leisure Arena.
Fixtures for the Playr-Fit Championship will be announced tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am, with fixtures for the Playr-Fit Premier Intermediate League announced on Thursday at 10am.
