It’s the season that you just can’t take your eyes off! Next Tuesday night the Sports Direct Premiership split fixtures will be finally revealed.

Only two big games of the roller-coaster regular season remain on Tuesday 2 April 2024, which will determine the final placings for the ‘split’ and map out the final fixtures for one of the most exciting title races in recent years.

Those two huge Premiership games next week will have a major baring on the destiny of the Gibson Cup as Carrick Rangers host Linfield, and Cliftonville take on Larne both kicking off at 7.45pm.

The eagerly anticipated final five rounds of ‘split’ fixtures will be determined following the conclusion of these matches on Tuesday night exclusively on the NI Football League website and social media channels.

Ahead of the first post-split matches, the formula for the opening round of the split (matchday 34) can be revealed to assist supporters and clubs with their planning and arrangements.
