RTÉ will broadcast live coverage of Thursday's Europa Conference League qualifier between St Patrick's Athletic’s and CSKA Sofia.

Fresh from their historic 6-5 penalty shootout win over NS Mura in Slovenia, the Inchicore club will travel to the Vasil Levski National Stadium for the first leg of the third round qualifier.

The game will be shown live on the RTÉ News Channel and RTÉ Player from 5.55pm.

Kick-off is at 6.00pm Irish time with Des Curran and Stuart Byrne on commentary.

The return leg has been moved to Tallaght Stadium in order to facilitate UEFA's requirement that games in this round are played at Category 3 stadia, with a minimum capacity requirement for seating of 4,500.

Richmond Park, the club's home ground in Inchicore, has a seating capacity of just under 3,000.
