Spfl post split dates and schedule announced (2025)

The league have announced dates for the full post-split run-in as well as the playoff schedule

The SPFL have announced the full post-split calendar with the Premiership season set to come to a dramatic end on Sunday, May 18.

It's been a season full of twists and turns at both ends of the table and, with just two rounds left before the division splits into two, there are plenty of spots still up for grabs.

Celtic are well on course for another Premiership title with Rangers virtually confirmed as runners up and Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee United are battling it out for third.

A cabal of teams are slugging it out for the final top six position with a single point separating Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell.

Ross County, Kilmarnock, Dundee and St Johnstone meanwhile are scrapping it out to avoid the drop.

There is a full card this weekend before the pre-split season comes to an end with all 12 teams in action next Saturday at 3pm.

SPFL Chief Operating Officer Calum Beattie said: “We are set for a hugely exciting end to the season, with league titles, European places and the battle to avoid relegation all on the line before the eagerly-anticipated play-offs begin next month.

“We are pleased to be able to confirm the dates for the post-split fixtures, as well as the play-off schedule and broadcast selections, and are very much looking forward to all the football being played in the weeks ahead.”

Here are the dates for your diary for the post-split season.
