Any confirmation yet as to when the fixture list will be released?
Monday I think …..
So Sligo appear to have said just now, anyway.
Whats wrong with now if they are ready for Monday?
Maybe they’re not ready now but will be in Monday
I'd say the fai staff are working over the weekend alrightQuote:

They're generally released soon after the licences are issued, so no surprise really.
1st game Cork City away, EHHHH can we have 1000 tickets please
It does tend to be a week or two before Christmas when they are released.
Opening fixtures:
- Cork v Bohs
- Dundalk v UCD
- Shels v Drogs
- St.Pats v Derry
- Sligo v Shamrock Rovers
- Kerry v Cobh
- Treaty v Bray
- Wexford v Waterford
- Harps v Galway
- Longford v Athlone
Pretty much the ideal opener for Kerry, in that a home Munster derby should guarantee a bumper crowd.
Should be a bumper crowd in Finn Park for that opener.
There'll be sellouts in Cork, Inchicore and possibly Sligo on the opening night too you’d imagine
Oh great.
Has it been confirmed that the first division will be four rounds of nine matches? That would make things very tight at the back-end of the season, if the play-off format is staying the same
That'll be known in another 72 hours ...
Yip it's definitely a 36 game season.....
Probably could have done without a first match against a newly promoted Cork in Turner's cross. It'll be hopping which can only help them.
Anyone know will LOITV continue to operate next season ?
When are the rest of the fixtures being released? Don’t remember this teaser format in previous years.
Thursday, apparently.
That indicates that there will be a midweek round of fixtures in the Premier Division between weeks 1 and 6. I assume the First Division will catch up on that during the international window which the Premier Division has no games duringQuote:

At this stage the FAI should have a real TV contract in place that includes one live game a week through the whole season, with a further highlights package of the remaining games!
We live in hope! :embarrassed:
Cnant disagree with the aspiration but i woud be really dissapointed if it isnt back.Quote:

Yeah there's no chance I would be able to travel to Cork, Derry or Sligo unless it was an early kick off on a weekend or Bank Holiday so I would really miss it if it disappeared.
It's not bizarre if you believe it's the one set of fixtures where they have deliberately manufactured all the pairings colectively (there's no way the computer magically spat out that combination). It looks like they're going down the route of derbies for Paddy's Day - which would make sense. I've been an advocate of this for some time, and would actually do it every year and hope it becomes an established thing (like Boxing Day/St Stephen's Day in the North). Not sure why they didn't make it Rovers-Bohs though (unless they think that will draw a sell-out crowd anyway as a stand alone event) ? And I'd have made Drogs-Dundalk at Oriel Park. That way the full combination of fixtures would maximise the attendances for the day across the league.Quote:

This drip feed is getting a bit silly now, isn't it?
One teaser, fine. But it's three now, I think?
This random gradual publishing of some of these fixtures is one of the dumbest ideas out of alot bad LOI ideas I've seen over the years, clearly thought up by some tone deaf social media marketing guru with no background in football, imagine the carnage if the Premier League did something similar!
The fixtures are compiled stop arsing about and upload the PDF on the LOI website
Worse still, the LOI website isn't actually functioning now, unless they've moved it to a new address?
Think Culloty I seen it somewhere that the LOI website is being revamped for new season. Thats what I heard!Quote:

The revealing of fixtures is turning into an advent calendar.
Finally...

No League Cup in 2023, it seems.
The full schedule has been released, but as the website isn't working, it's up to each individual club to announce their own fixtures. We do know that the FAI Cup Final will be on November 12th, and the promotion/relegation playoffs will follow the same format as this year.
Worked for me. :confused:
Yes, the link is working fine for me too. The pdf opens up with full fixtures.
Working now when I refreshed the page, so may have just taken a while to update on all browsers.
