The League of Ireland Premier Division fixtures have been confirmed for 2022, with defending champions Shamrock Rovers to kick their season off against newly-promoted UCD.
The first round of fixtures on Friday, 18th, will also see Damien Duff take charge of Shelbourne for the first time against St Patrick's Athletic.
League of Ireland director Mark Scanlon said: "The publication of the fixture list marks the start of the new season for many fans. We have already seen very impressive season ticket sales across many of our clubs, and we look forward to a competitive and compelling Premier Division in 2022.
"Recognising the expanding Uefa club competition calendar, the growing presence of international footballers in our League now, and this being a Fifa World Cup year, we sat down with the clubs, managers, players, PFA Ireland, and our own national league committee before finalising this schedule."
