Liam Buckley will have his first game as St Pat’s manager against Bray at Inchicore while last season’s First Division champions Cork City face UCD in Dublin.
The other promoted sides – Shels and Monaghan – have home ties, taking on Sligo Rovers and Dundalk respectively.
The league will take a mid-season break – from 5 -21 June – to coincide with the national team’s games at the European Championships in Poland.
The final round of league matches is slated for Friday, 26 October.
“Due to the licensing process involved for prospective new clubs, the First Division fixtures will be published when the licensing process is complete on 12 February,” an FAI spokesperson added.
