BBC iPlayer to stream Derry City's home games

Derry City's remaining home games in the 2026 SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division season will be streamed live on BBC iPlayer.

In a new broadcast partnership agreed between the BBC and the League of Ireland, the Candystripes' eight remaining home fixtures will also be available to watch on the BBC Sport website and app.

Tiernan Lynch's side's away games will continue to have live commentary on BBC Radio Foyle and BBC Sounds.

The action begins this Friday, 12 June, when Derry City welcome second-place Bohemians to Celtic Park (19:45 BST) as they seek a first league win since late April and improve on their current position of sixth in the table.

"BBC Sport NI is really looking forward to this new partnership with the League of Ireland that will bring Derry City's home matches to audiences on BBC iPlayer for the first time," said BBC Sport NI executive editor Neil Brittain.

"We're always looking at opportunities to bring sports fans in Northern Ireland, and right across the UK the best action on our platforms.

"This new deal means that by expanding access through BBC iPlayer, we are ensuring that more fans can watch Derry City, discover the League of Ireland and enjoy high-quality football coverage wherever they are."

League of Ireland director Mark Scanlon has welcomed the partnership which ensures "that more supporters than ever can access and enjoy our matches".

"This is an exciting step forward for the League of Ireland and for Derry City in partnering with such a well-known platform as BBC iPlayer," he said.

"The growth in interest and engagement with our League continues to accelerate, and this partnership with BBC Sport NI will ensure that more supporters than ever can access and enjoy our matches.

"The agreement strengthens our presence in the UK market while maintaining the global reach of LOITV and showcases the quality of the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division to audiences at home and abroad."

Eric White will be on commentary for Friday's game alongside former Derry City striker Liam Coyle.
