Irish League fixtures in full - a month by month guide to the 2023/24 Sports Direct Premiership campaign
At last, the fixtures are in as we head closer to the return of the Irish Premiership.
Despite five new managers set to be in the dugout come August and a new title sponsor for the league in the form of Sports Direct - a lot of drama and excitement is set to stay the same.
New signings will hope to hit the ground running as teams aim to take away the crown from Larne, who won the club's first ever Gibson Cup title last season.
There will be a return to the top flight since 2007 for Loughgall as the Villagers aim to impress amongst the big boys throughout the 2023/24 campaign.
