League Phase
Shelbourne are playing six games in the League phase of the Conference League, three home and three away, with one team from each pot (seed) from the draw. Shelbourne were in Pot 6 as they had the lowest coefficient points of any team to qualify for this stage of the competition.
Shelbourne played their home games in the League Phase at Tallaght Stadium as Tolka Park did not meet the standards for UEFA competitions.
