The FAI have announced that WatchLOI – The streaming service used for League of Ireland fixtures – is unlikely return for the 2021 season, citing unsustainability as the reason for doing so.

The service, which started in July last year, ran throughout the 2020 League of Ireland season covering League of Ireland Premier Division fixtures, cup matches and the promotion/relegation play-off between Longford Town and Shelbourne.

Apparently though, it was not a commercial success despite a seemingly large number of users throughout the season.

The FAI have confirmed that they’re looking into alternatives, one of which may be allowing clubs to stream games themselves.

Several First Division clubs took it upon themselves to stream their own games last season given the failure to include the First Division into the WatchLOI package, meaning that this could be a solution to the problem.

The 8^th March is the resumption date for the League of Ireland so all should be revealed sooner rather than later.

St. Patrick’s Athletic will travel to Finn Harps with kick-off at 7.45pm, before a double-header tomorrow.

SSE Airtricity League Champions Dundalk welcome Waterford to Oriel Park and First Division Longford Town travel to Cork City, with kick-off at 7.45pm in both fixtures.

Season pass holders will be able to watch all three of the matches as part of their package whilst match passes will also be available for the games.

Season passes are just €55 for the entire season whilst match passes for each game are just €5.

For the Tuesday double-header, you can watch both matches at the same time on different devices through the same account.
