Bohemians will host St. Patrick’s Athletic at the Aviva Stadium on the opening weekend of the 2026 League of Ireland season.

The fixtures for the new campaign were released on Tuesday morning and following the success of Bohs' clash with arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers at Lansdowne road at the start of the 2025 season, which saw over 33,000 attend, it has been decided that Bohs will again play a home game at the Aviva but this time they will face St Pats on Sunday, February 8 at 2pm.
