Europe Coverage

About Irish Premier Division

The League of Ireland Premier Division is the top professional soccer league in the Republic of Ireland. It's a 10-team competition that runs from February through November. The league is known for its passionate fan bases, traditional clubs, and the intense rivalry between Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians. The season is underway, with teams fighting for the title and European spots.

Top teams

Shamrock Rovers are the dominant force in Irish soccer. They've won multiple titles in a row and regularly compete in European competitions. Bohemians, Dundalk, St Patrick's Athletic, and Derry City are the other heavyweights. Shelbourne, Sligo Rovers, and Waterford are regular contenders. The league is small but competitive. The title race usually goes down to the final weeks of the season.

Format

The league has 10 teams. Each plays each other four times — that's 36 matches per team. The champion qualifies for the Champions League qualifiers. The second and third-place teams go into the Conference League qualifiers. The bottom team is relegated to the First Division. The 9th-place team plays a promotion-relegation playoff against the First Division runner-up.

Viewership

The League of Ireland pulls strong numbers locally. Dublin derbies between Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians, and St Patrick's Athletic draw the biggest crowds and TV ratings. The league has a dedicated following, with fans who travel across the country to support their clubs. International interest comes from Irish diaspora communities in the UK, the US, and Australia.

TV options in Ireland

Virgin Media Television televises select Men's Premier Division matches on Virgin Media Two and Three, streaming them on the Virgin Media Player. RTÉ Player also shows selected international and domestic matches.

International streaming with LOITV

LOITV is the official streaming platform for the League of Ireland. It's the best option for fans outside Ireland, offering access to over 550 games across the Men's Premier Division, First Division, and Women's Premier Division. Unlike in Ireland, all matches are available internationally, including those selected for TV. Subscription options include an annual pass for around €99, a monthly pass for around €9.99 (12-month commitment), and single match passes for €10.99 for 24-hour access. The service is available on desktop, mobile apps (iOS and Android), and TV apps including LG TV, Android TV, and Chromecast.

Streaming options in the UK

For fans in the UK, LOITV is the primary source for all League of Ireland Premier Division games. BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport primarily broadcast Northern Irish Premiership games, not the Republic of Ireland Premier Division.

Current season

The 2026 League of Ireland season kicked off in February. The regular season runs through October, with the playoffs in November. Shamrock Rovers are the defending champions. Shelbourne, Bohemians, and Derry City are pushing them this year. The European spots and relegation battle are tight. LOITV streams all matches live for international fans.
