NIFL Premiership fixture schedule as clubs prepare for bumper January

The Danske Bank Premiership returns on Saturday following a brief break.

The traditional Boxing Day fixtures were postponed due to latest Covid restrictions, as were games scheduled for December 29.

The show continues this weekend to kick-off what will be a bumper month of January for clubs and players.

There will be a total of 41 league games played during the month, testing squads to the max as they face up to seven games from January 2-30.

There are some cracking games, too, including those Boxing Day derbies which will now take place on January 9.
