As far as i'm aware it will be most countries, except for Ireland. Making it available to Irish IPs is probably against the current agreements the FAI have with RTE and Setanta and also counter-productive in that it may affect the crowds that actually turn up at the matches.
Ah lads....catch up!

Will be interesting to see if RTE show any live LOI games next season as RTE are complaining next year will be expensive year for the them with Six nations, Euros, Olympics & GAA. They haven't ruled out dropping other live sport which LOI must be top on that list if he they do.
They have a commitment to show 17 live domestic games each year. I don't see them pulling the plug on this, even if they do lose ratings when they show LOI matches.
Her's a recent interview with Ryle Nugent explaining RTE's commitment to LOI. To give him his dues, he actually comes across as very balanced and respectful to be fair.

Given the general level of interest in the league in the country 17 games is pretty generous. I expect that the usual pattern of a glut of games early and late in the season will be even more pronounced in 2016.
Larry Bass who supplies most of the "format tv" in Ireland is the Chairman of Cabinteely. Could he maybe come up with some ideas to re-brand/package the LoI to make it more appealing to the public?
Rte Selling rights to some of Euro 16 games (most likely TV3 will buy them)
If they cant be bother to show these games I cant imgine they will want to show many LOI games this season & going forward. It will be intresting to see if RTE pull out of live LOI games who will take up the rights(if any)

I hope the hard nosed negotiators of the FAI don't price RTE out of the League of Ireland market.
