On Thursday, August 21, live streaming of Linfield’s first-team game of the Uefa Conference League Play-off against Shelbourne will take place at Tolka Park.
Beginning at 19:40 BST, the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website will be covering the match between the champions of the Irish Premiership last season and the winners of the League of Ireland.
The winner will receive a spot in the lucrative league phase of the competition’s second leg, which will take place in Windsor Park the following week.
The teams have already met in European competition this year after being paired up in the Champions League’s first round of qualifying.
Shelbourne won the first leg 1-0 at Tolka Park, followed by a 1-1 draw at Windsor Park, and came out the game 2-1 overall.
In the second and third qualifying rounds of the Uefa Conference League, Linfield have defeated Vikingur of the Faroe Islands and Zalgiris of Lithuania.
David Healy’s side would resemble Larne’s success, who became the first Irish League team to advance to the group or league stages of a major European competition last year, if they defeated their Irish Premier Division foes.
