BBC Sport NI is to livestream Linfield’s Uefa Conference League Play-off first leg game against Shelbourne at Tolka Park on Thursday, 21 August.
Coverage of the match between last season’s League of Ireland winners and Irish Premiership champions on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website will begin at 19:40 BST.
The second leg of the tie will be staged at Windsor Park the following week, with a place in the lucrative league phase of the competition the prize on offer for the winners.
The teams have already met in European competition this term, having been paired together in the first round of Champions League qualifying in July.
Shelbourne ran out 2-1 aggregate victors on that occasion, winning the first leg 1-0 at Tolka Park, followed by a 1-1 draw at Windsor Park.
Since dropping into the Uefa Conference League, Linfield have seen off Zalgiris of Lithuania and Vikingur of the Faroe Islands in the second and third qualifying rounds of that competition.
Were they to overcome their Irish Premier Division opponents, David Healy’s side would emulate the achievement of Larne, who became the first Irish League side to progress to the group or league stages of a major European competition last season.
After defeating Linfield, Shelbourne lost to Qarabag of Azerbaijan in the Champions League second qualifying round and then fell to Croatian outfit Rijeka in the Europa League third qualifying round.
