Linfield-Cliftonville among BBC Sport NI live games

A meeting of the teams who currently occupy the top two places in the Irish Premiership is among the next batch of matches that will be streamed live by BBC Sport NI over the coming months.

The game between Linfield and Cliftonville at Windsor Park on Saturday 25 January will have a 17:30 GMT kick-off and will be broadcast on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

The sides have already met twice in the league this season, their first encounter at Solitude in September ending goal-less, before the Reds ran out 2-1 winners at Windsor Park in October.

The first livestreamed BBC Irish Premiership match of 2025 will see Larne face Cliftonville at Inver Park at 19:45 on Friday 10 January.

Seven days later, the Mid Ulster derby between Dungannon Swifts and Glenavon will be shown on 17 January, kick-off again at 19:45.

Three more fixtures will be streamed live across BBC Sport NI on Friday nights in February.

They are the games between Ballymena United and Linfield on 7 February, Coleraine and Glentoran on 14 February and Cliftonville against Glentoran on 21 February.
