Sligo Rovers welcome the returning Shamrock Rovers, with fans eager to see if they can emulate the success of their all-conquering men's team.

Elsewhere, Athlone Town entertains Peamount United, Treaty United comes against Bohemians and DLR Waves are without a fixture on the opening game week.

Wexford Youths fans are understandably excited about the additions to their team.

They've added last year's Player of the Year Emily Corbet. At the same time, intense speed and flair are introduced with Abbie Brophy and Shauna Carroll, plus the undeniable experience from Louise Corrigan and the hometown favourite Rianna Jarrett.

The league structure now consists of 11 teams, with every game available to watch live. You can view the complete fixture list below.
