Get ready for all the drama of the run-in as the post-split fixture schedule in the Sports Direct Premiership is now confirmed.
The destiny of the Gibson Cup, the race for Europe and the battle to avoid relegation all remain up for grabs and all simply too tight to call!
There are just five rounds of fixtures left in the Sports Direct Premiership, with reigning champions Larne taking a narrow lead over Linfield into the final fixtures of an enthralling season.
The final lucrative European place is still an unknown, with many clubs still jockeying for pole position for the end-of-season European Playoffs and at the bottom end of the table, the battle to avoid relegation is perilously tight with only two points separate Ballymena United and Newry City.
The ‘split’ format sees the twelve Sports Direct Premiership teams separate into two sections after 33 rounds of fixtures with both groups of clubs playing each other one more time. The venues for the split fixtures have been determined automatically by the venues of the preceding three regular season games between opponents.
The campaign will conclude with the final round of fixtures all played the evening of Saturday 27 April 2024, with all games kicking-off concurrently at 5.30pm.
The climax of the Sports Direct Premiership can be followed exclusively on the NI Football League’s official digital platforms and through selected live games on BBC Sport NI.
