Ryanair Adds Flights from Dublin for Premier League Weekends
Ryanair has added extra flights between Dublin and both Liverpool and Manchester for four Premier League match dates in late August and mid-September. The additional services provide 3,000 seats for supporters travelling from Ireland to games at Anfield and Old Trafford. The additional services went on sale through the Ryanair app on 30 July, covering the four selected match dates.

The added flights are tied to four home fixtures. Liverpool host Nottingham Forest at 12:30 on 29 August and Fulham at 15:00 on 12 September. Manchester United face Ipswich Town at 16:30 on 30 August, followed by Manchester City at 16:30 on 13 September. The airline has not linked individual flight departures to each kick-off, so passengers must check timings before booking.
Extra Dublin capacity makes short football breaks easier to arrange around both cities. In Liverpool, supporters can add the Royal Albert Dock, The Beatles Story or the Cavern Quarter to a match weekend. Manchester offers the National Football Museum, the city centre’s industrial heritage and Old Trafford’s museum and stadium tour, giving visitors several options beyond the ninety minutes on the pitch.
The extra seats give Irish supporters more choice on busy match weekends, but the announcement is not a complete timetable. Anyone planning around a specific kick-off should compare arrival times, airport transfers and the return journey before booking match tickets or accommodation. Fixtures can still move, so a flight built around the current schedule may need adjusting if television or competition changes alter the date.
