FAI National League format and groups confirmed for inaugural campaign
The format for the 2026 FAI National League season has been finalised ✅️
This year's truncated season will have 3 groups of 5 with 4 teams qualifying for the Semi-Finals.
A Final will then take place to determine the overall Champions 🏆
Full details can be found on FAI.ie
National League moves.
With the national league allegedly starting in September, will LSL Senior lads be likely to move to one of the Dublin teams in the league or will the clubs just keep their squads the same as right now? Like with Malahide on top of Senior Sunday will some of their lads move to Home Farm or Lucan etc.? Same goes for Waterford lad and Villa FC?
Leinster Senior Cup
Does anyone have any information regarding the Leinster Senior Cup final. See that Bray beat Finglas in one of the Semi finals, anyone know when / where the final is being played and who won the other semi. Thanks in advance!
What has happened to Foot.ie?
Seems to have disappeared
Hello, I was wondering if anyone is interested in uploading any League Of Ireland or FAI Cup matches to Footballia.
Footballia is a website where you can watch full length football matches, there is a Premier Division IRL section but it only has 6 games, if anyone has full match recordings of televised games or LOITV games, would you be interested in uploading? You only have to make an account and then you can upload

Friday nights
Friday nights are a crap time for a match. i get the logic behind it (not clashing with english football, etc.) but as someone with a full time job i can hardly ever get to away games outside leinster. fine for home games obviously, but the away games i look forward to the most are longford games (havent had sligo in a while). away crowds would be much bigger and better on the weekend, and i think the league has grown to the point it wouldnt negatively affect crowds tbh. just my opinion
Those Eoin Murphy’s videos on Twitter are an absolute disgrace. Needs a few match bans definitely.

Dundalk Town Appreciation Post
My teenaged son and I went to our first Dundalk game last night at Oriel Park v Shamrock Rovers, and it was one of the best football experiences ever.
The atmosohere was next level. The volleyed goal from Wilson was world class... the place went nuts, and we with them. Think I hugged a stranger. The Banks esque saves from Minogue down the other end were things of wonder. A string of magic moments.
On the drive home my tired and delighted son says "Dad we'll have to come back here again". Aye, says I.
