If your ideal end to the week involves settling in on the sofa, takeaway in hand and live football on the telly, Virgin Media Television has you covered. With exclusive free-to-air coverage of the League of Ireland, Friday nights are now prime time for homegrown drama, last-minute winners and plenty of talking points.
Virgin Media Ireland is the exclusive free-to-air broadcaster of the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division, showing one live match from every round across the season. That means fans can tune in each week for the standout fixture, with more access to the league than ever before. Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or a casual viewer looking for a new Friday ritual, it’s never been easier to follow the action.
Expect title races, derby-day tension and surprise results, all served up live on Virgin Media Television. Coverage also includes highlights and key moments from around the grounds, so even if your club isn’t the featured fixture, you can still keep up with the biggest stories from across the league.
Virgin Media’s support for Irish football extends beyond the screen. Through its broadband business, it proudly supports four of the league’s most historic clubs — Bohemian FC, Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne FC and Galway United.
These partnerships give fans even more ways to connect with the game, including access to exclusive interviews, season‑ticket giveaways, signed jerseys and much more.
Together, the partnerships reinforce Virgin Media’s ongoing commitment to Irish football at a time of real momentum for the domestic game, with attendances, fan engagement and wider interest in the League of Ireland continuing to grow.
So, what should viewers keep an eye out for? Big Dublin derbies are always must-watch television, clashes between promotion hopefuls and title challengers rarely disappoint, and the run-in later in the season promises plenty of nail-biting drama. Keep an eye on Virgin Media listings each week to see which fixture gets the Friday night spotlight.
