Our first game of the 2025 League season will be a showcase Dublin Derby clash at the Aviva Stadium!

Rovers will take on Bohemians in the 2025 SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division season opener at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Kick off 2pm.

It marks 110 years of Derby clashes between the two sides ago and it has been 80 years since the clubs faced each other in the 1945 Men’s FAI Cup Final. It promises to be a truly historic occasion in front of a massive attendance.

This will be an away fixture for the Hoops, but with much commercial upside potential, along with the opportunity to showcase our game to a crowd of 40,000 plus.

The game will kick off at 14:00 on Sunday, February 16th at the Aviva Stadium and tickets will go on sale in December.

Shamrock Rovers CEO, John Martin said: “We are delighted to travel to the Aviva Stadium in February to plays Bohemian FC. The opportunity for Rovers to bring such significant support to an away fixture against Bohemian FC was something we worked very hard on, and we are delighted this collaboration has come to fruition. The game marks another positive step in the growth of the League of Ireland and we look forward to being part of such a historic occasion.”
