WatchLOI is set to end coverage of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division at the mid-season break.

The FAI has confirmed that Premier Division fixtures will instead be streamed live on a new platform after the summer break.

WATCHLOI will cease its coverage on Saturday, May 29th but there are no details yet on the new service being introduced from June onwards.

It's believed the new service will have the technology to provide replays of match incidents, something that was unavailable for WatchLOI viewers.

"We'd like to place on record our thanks and appreciation to RTÉ Sport and GAAGO for their fantastic support of the League of Ireland through WATCHLOI," said League of Ireland Director Mark Scanlon.

"At a time of uncertainty around the restart of the 2020 season, WATCHLOI was created to ensure that we supplied high-quality coverage of the Premier Division to supporters both in Ireland and across the world.

"I'd also like to thank the production staff and commentators for their fantastic coverage and passion for the league.

"We will be heading in a different direction after the mid-season break with a new streaming platform for supporters and more details will be announced in the coming weeks."

RTÉ Sport will continue to cover the SSE Airtricity Premier Division and the FAI Cup through live TV coverage after the mid-season break as FAI broadcast partners.
