The Sky Sports Ireland 3pm fixtures for August, September, October, and November have been released. You will likely be aware that it's not permitted to broadcast games live in England between 3pm and 5.15pm under the terms of a fairly archaic blackout rule intended to protect attendances for lower-league games.
The ban does not extend to Ireland, however, and last season Sky Sports began broadcasting games live in Ireland at 3pm.
They have today released the list of games they are televising over the next few months, and it's a bit of a feast for Manchester United fans, with four of the club's games slated for live broadcast over the next couple of months. Liverpool make a couple of appearances too, as do Man City and Chelsea.
Here are the full list of Sky Sports Ireland 3pm fixtures until November.
