What time and channel is Ireland women's hockey match against Canada on? TV info, team news and more for the huge Olympic qualifier

A little over a year ago the Ireland women's hockey team were contesting the World Cup final against the Netherlands - now they are staring down another huge match.

Sean Dancer's side take on Canada in a two-legged qualifier for the Olympic Games in Tokyo next year with home advantage on their side.

If the team needed any extra motivation it may come from seeing the men's team controversially losing out to the same country and a ticket to the Olympics on Sunday evening.

This women's team can gain some revenge for that defeat and book their spots on the plan to Japan.

Here is all you need to know about the match:

When is it on?

The first leg is scheduled to get underway at 7pm on Saturday, 2 November. The second leg will then get underway at 7.10pm on Sunday, 3 November.

Where is it on?

The two legs of the qualifiers will take place at Energia Park in Donnybrook.
