Ballymena United will benefit from extensive live coverage under a new three-year broadcast deal between BBC Sport NI and the Irish FA. The agreement ensures that BBC Sport NI will show 30 live Boyle Sports Premiership streams per season, including the upcoming match between Ballymena United and Glentoran on 21 August. This is in addition to 10 senior Women's Northern Ireland international matches and action from domestic cup competitions. The new deal also includes live coverage of the Irish Premiership on BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Sounds, as well as highlights from NIFL and Irish Cup games on BBC platforms. This follows confirmation that BBC Sport NI will broadcast every Northern Ireland senior men's international until June 2028. The new agreement strengthens the longstanding commitment to bringing audiences the very best coverage of the game in Northern Ireland, from national teams to domestic league and cup competitions. Ballymena United's next fixture is against Dungannon Swifts on 19 December 2026, where they will be looking to improve their 6th place in the table.
