Glentoran Football Club can today confirm its preliminary fixture schedule for the 2026/27 BOYLESports Premiership season following today’s release of the 2026/27 fixture schedule by the Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL).

The Glens will begin the new campaign on home soil when newly promoted Limavady United visit The BetMcLean Oval on Saturday 8th August.

Declan Devine’s side then face an early test with a trip to the Clearer Twist National Stadium to take on Linfield on Saturday 15th August before travelling to Ballymena United a week later.

Supporters can look forward to the first meeting with Crusaders on Saturday 29th August at The BetMcLean Oval, while September sees Glentoran face Larne, Bangor, Coleraine, Cliftonville and Carrick Rangers during a demanding run of fixtures.

The traditional Boxing Day derby against Linfield will take place at The BetMcLean Oval on Saturday 26th December, with the Blues returning to East Belfast on Saturday 27th March for the final fixture before the league split.

Following the completion of Round 33, the Premiership will again divide into top and bottom sections before the final five fixtures of the campaign are played throughout April, culminating on Saturday 24th April 2027.

Supporters are reminded that all fixtures remain subject to change due to broadcast selections, participation in UEFA club competitions and other operational requirements.

The Club will communicate any fixture amendments, confirmed kick-off times and ticketing information through its official website and social media channels.
