The FAI have announced that TG4 will broadcast Women’s Premier Division games for a third consecutive season.

The Irish language channel began showing a select number of games on their Sacar Beo programme with coverage set to increase one again with 12 games to be shown live in 2023.

“We are delighted to continue our relationship with TG4 and bring more visibility to the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division as it continues to grow year on year,” League of Ireland Director Mark Scanlon said in a statement today.

“As part of our rebrand of the League of Ireland, we want to connect with as many fans as possible and TG4 have helped us to reach new audiences and have done a fantastic job with their production around each game.

“The title race has gone to the wire in each of the last two seasons and the TG4 cameras have been on hand to capture all of the drama and high quality action and so we are looking forward to the 2023 season being even bigger and better than ever before.”

As part of the announcement the first four games to be shown live this year were also announced – on 18 March Shelbourne v Shamrock Rovers will be shown, followed by Wexford Youths v Athlone Town on 15 April, Bohemians v Athlone Town on 20 May and Shamrock Rovers v Peamount United on 10 June.

Details of the remining eight games to be shown will be announced in due course.
