The release of 2026/27 season fixtures come as Domino’s has been announced as title sponsors of the Domino’s Men’s and Women’s Super League and Division One for the next three seasons.
Ireland’s favourite pizza brand came on board as title partners midway through the 2024/25 season and Eoin Corrigan, Domino’s Ireland Head of Marketing, welcomed the sponsorship extension. “We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Basketball Ireland for another three years. Basketball connects with passionate, engaged communities right across Ireland, and as title partner of the Men’s and Women’s Super League and Division One, we’re proud to support the sport, while also continuing to strengthen the connection with local stores and the towns they serve.”, Corrigan said.
Gus Lewis, Basketball Ireland Head of Commercial and Brand, added: “Domino’s has been an outstanding partner for Basketball Ireland, and this renewal reflects the strength of that relationship. Extending as title partner of the Men’s and Women’s Super League and Division One for a further three years comes at a huge time for the game, with participation and attendances continuing to grow year-on-year. We’re excited to build on what we’ve achieved together and take the sport even further over the next three years.”
Ballincollig, who won the Domino’s Men’s Super League and Domino’s MSL National Cup double last season, lost their season opener against Limerick Celtics last season, however defeated Tony Hehir’s side in the Domino’s MSL National Cup semi-finals and the Super League playoff quarter-finals.
Speaking ahead of the new season, Ballincollig player/coach Ciaran O’Sullivan said: “The first game of the season is always exciting and has a distinct feel and energy. The result won’t define any team, but you certainly want to set the tone for the season ahead and try to an integrate your new players as quickly as possible. Limerick Celtics showed last season that they are a highly competitive team, reaching the Domino’s MSL National Cup semi-finals and the Super League playoffs, so to win away from home in Limerick will mean we executed at a high level.”

Trinity Meteors have appointed Anthony Dodson as head coach for the 2026/27 season, replacing Seamas Donnelly who stepped down. Dodson served as assistant coach for the last two seasons and is relishing the prospect of taking the step up into the role and testing his side against Career Decisions UCC Glanmire once more in their season opener.
“I’m delighted to take on the role as head coach of Trinity Meteors for the upcoming season. Last year was an amazing achievement for the club after such a long wait. However, our focus is now on looking forward, there are so many changes across the league each season, coaches and players, that it is important for us to move on and focus on the challenge ahead. The first game of the season is generally a tough one and facing Glanmire will be no exception. They had a fantastic season, are an excellent club and tough team to play against. It should be a great match.”, Dodson stated.
