Eleven games announced to be broadcast on BBC Sport NI in opening months of Irish Premiership
The Northern Ireland Football League revealed on Monday that Cliftonville's home game against Portadown on the opening weekend and Larne's trip to Crusaders the following week will both be played on a Sunday and broadcast live on BBC Sport NI.
However, clubs have always had the option to change their games from the traditional Saturday if the opposition agreed. It was also reported earlier this year that 11 out of the 12 clubs in the Premiership had intimated they were in favour of playing more Sunday games this coming season. Three further selections in August see Glenavon welcome Linfield to Mourneview Park on Tuesday 20 August, followed later that week by Carrick Rangers v Glentoran and Coleraine v Larne to wrap up a huge month of action.
Cliftonville v Larne on Friday 27 September promises to be another top live game, as does the first big derby meeting of the season between Linfield and Glentoran at Windsor Park on Friday 4 October, capping off a feast of exclusive live Premiership action on BBC Sport NI. All matches are available free-to-air on the BBC iPlayer and via the BBC website.
