Derry City face Dundalk in first game of the season with Finn Harps at the Brandywell a week later

The match will kick-off at 7.45 p.m.

A week later Finn Harps travel to the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium for the first North West derby of the year.

This season Derry will renew an old rivalry when they play Shelbourne F.C. for the first time in the league since 2013.

The club's involvement in the Europa League in July means Derry will play our home match against Shamrock Rovers early, on Monday, May 25.

This fixture has been squeezed in between away trips to Cork on Friday, May 22, and to Dundalk, on Friday, May 29, in what promises to be a tough week of matches.
