A northwest derby at the Brandywell between Derry City and Sligo Rovers, kicking off at 5.45pm, is set to get the League of Ireland back up and running on July 31.

Games staggered throughout weekends are a feature of the newly released revised and compressed fixture list, after the Covid-19 pandemic caused the postponement of all football in the country in early March.
