BOYLE Sports Sunday Opening Times

BOYLE Sports is Ireland's largest independent bookmaker with around 83 shops across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, plus a growing chain of high-street shops across England.

In Ireland, most BOYLE Sports shops open from 12:00 noon to 6:00 PM on Sundays, in line with the Irish Betting Acts which permit Sunday retail trading; city-centre Dublin and Belfast shops may keep slightly longer hours. BOYLE Sports shops in Great Britain typically open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sundays. Use the region selector to view times for your market.

Sunday is a popular day for sports betting with football matches, horse racing, and other sporting events taking place. BOYLE Sports ensures many of their shops are open to accommodate customers looking to place bets on Sunday fixtures.

Most BOYLE Sports shops in the Republic of Ireland trade roughly 12:00 noon to 6:00 PM on a normal Sunday under the Irish Betting Acts. When a Sunday coincides with — or sits next to — an Irish public holiday, opening times can shift, so it is always worth checking the individual shop page before travelling.

• St Patrick's Day (17 March): when 17 March falls on a Sunday, BOYLE Sportsshops typically open as normal from noon, with many city-centre branches extending hours for Cheltenham Festival betting and parade-day footfall in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
• Easter Sunday & Easter Monday: Easter Sunday is treated as a standard Sunday in shops, but Good Friday remains a no-racing day in Ireland and Easter Monday (Fairyhouse, home of the Irish Grand National) usually sees extended hours rather than a closure.
• Sundays beside a bank holiday Monday: May, June, August and October bank holidays in Ireland always fall on a Monday. Shops trade normal Sunday hours the day before, then often open longer than usual on the bank holiday Monday itself.
• St Stephen's Day (26 December): when it lands on a Sunday, BOYLE Sportsshops normally open with extended hours for the Leopardstown Christmas Festival — well beyond typical Sunday closing times.

Northern Ireland shops (Belfast, Derry, Lisburn) follow UK Sunday trading rules instead and may open earlier — closer to 9:30 AM — even on holiday weekends.
