Ireland v Finland: Date, time, TV channel and more for the Nations League clash

There's no let up for Stephen Kenny's men as they're back in action against Finland this weekend.

The Boys in Green were finally back in action in a 1-1 draw away to Bulgaria on Thursday night, and they'll quickly return to Ireland to prepare for a crucial Nations League home tie.

With a crunch Euro 2020 qualifier looming large, it'll be the last chance for Kenny to get a good look at some of his players for that tie - with a major tournament on the line in just a few weeks time.

Finland are the opponents in the Aviva Stadium, but government restrictions mean that fans will still have to sit this one out and watch from at home.
