For the second time in three years, Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers will meet in the opening round of fixtures in the new SSE Airtricity Premier Division season.
The Dublin rivals are set to face each other at Dalymount Park on Valentine's night - February 14th 2020.
The pair met five times last year with Keith Long's side coming out on top three times while Rovers finally ended their Bohs hoodoo - beating them for the first time in over two years at Tallaght Stadium in August.
