Ireland's Saturday Night is a Northern Ireland sports newspaper, which is part of the Belfast Telegraph group.

The paper is nicknamed "The Pink", as it was originally printed on pink paper until 1917. It focuses on Irish Football League coverage and is delivered late on Saturday evenings so that the day's afternoon matches are reviewed.


The other nickname for the paper was the "Football" as it carried reports of all soccer matches in Northern Ireland and Great Britain with street vendors shouting "Footba" as the delivery vans would drop them off within a few minutes of the Saturday games ending.
