Do Dundalk charge a fee for rights or is it all done through UEFA? I'm guessing the uefa prizemoney must be mostly derived from TV rights...

TV rights belong to the host club for the qualifiers. From the play-offs onwards UEFA own the rights

Delighted its on tv. Nice one.

That makes sense, thanks! Any idea how much? Or is it just the usual ~€5,000 league tv appearance fee Eir Sport would be willing to pay? I'd say theres more potential interest in this than a standard league match.

it's always negotiable, but the interest from the visitors TV market is the big factor.

If they are interested in broadcasting, then they need a clean TV-ready feed. The oversees broadcaster could provide this themselves, hire a local contractor or the home club could do a deal with a home broadcaster, like eir, to make this happen

Best wishes to Dundalk tonight. Do the league proud lads

Just signed up to Eir - spurred by the 2 Dundalk games and the odd LOI game being shown there.

When you join they ask you to select your favourite sport from a drop down menu. The menu has both 'basketball' and 'Irish basketball', but just 'football' (no Irish equivalent offered, strangely - as I'd have thoguht they'd get more subscriptions off the back of the LOI than form Irish bball). Then once you've selected football, it asks you to pick your favouroite team from a drop donw menu - with lots of English and international options, but no Irish or even a generic 'League of Ireland' option.

I've emailed Eir to tell them this is a bit strange, and they should be capturing data on the demand for their Irish games. I'd advise current or future Eir subscribers to do likewise.

Normally premier sports on the modbro app has what Eir are showing.

[CorribsideSteve]

It will be on RojaDirecta, a pretty decent streaming service for soccer
