League of Ireland coverage expands
Sky customers in the Republic of Ireland can now watch every League of Ireland division, domestic cups and selected European fixtures through the new LOITV app on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. The app sits alongside Sky's existing entertainment and sports content, giving fans one place to follow the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division title run-in and games from the Women's Premier Division and First Division.
LOITV, run by Premier Sports, is the only service streaming all three divisions live with playback. Premier Division matches use at least two cameras; other fixtures use a minimum one-camera setup.
How to watch and what it costs
Customers find the app in the Apps rail on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. It is not included in Sky TV packages, so you sign in with an existing LOITV account or subscribe directly. Options are:
- €9.99 per month on a 12-month plan
- €14.99 per month, cancel anytime
- €99 annual pass
- €10.99 24-hour pass
Sky Glass Air starts at €469, Sky Glass Gen 2 at €799, or Sky Stream from €18 a month with Essential TV.
