The North West have released their schedule for the 2025 season that gets underway in just over five weeks time on April 26th.
There's no doubt about the game of the day with Brigade taking on defending champions Donemana at Beechgrove.
Last season's runners-up Eglinton will be hoping to go one better this time around as they start their campaign with a home clash against Coleraine.
2023 champions Ardmore endured a tough season last year, only ensuring their Premiership status via a play-off win over St Johnston.
There will be a few personnel changes in the Bleachgreen side as they travel to Senior Cup holders Newbuildings, who have lost a few players themselves.
Ross Dougherty is recovering from a major operation and unlikely to feature much this year, while Trent McKeegan is off to England for work, and Mark Hanna is returning to Beechgrove.
The final game in the top flight has Bready taking on newly promoted Strabane in the Tyrone derby.
The Red Caps hope to have secured Subhan Shirzad from St Johnston, while Bready will be without Pierce Ryan, who is off to the Leinster Premier League in an attempt to futher his representative hopes.
Bready's Irish youth international Gavin Roulston is another player coveted by a number of clubs both locally and further afield, but the Magheramason side will be hoping he remains at the top of their order.
In Section Two, the seven-team league means there's no match for Fox Lodge on the opening weekend, with the three games down for decision seeing Bonds Glen entertaining St Johnston, Killyclooney at home to Burndennett, and Ballyspallen taking on Glendermott.
In a busy opening weekend the NW T20 group stages begin with double-headers before reverting to their normal Thursday night slots.
Holders Brigade are in Group C where they will be strong favourites to emerge, with Coleraine, Bonds Glen and Burndennett their opposition.
