League of Ireland Premier Division Fixtures
The top-tier football league in Ireland consists of ten clubs. Some of the most popular ones are Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians, Cork City, Derry City, and Shelbourne. This league is comprised of the ten best teams in Ireland.
At the end of each season, the eight most successful clubs get to be part of the following season, whereas the lowest-ranking team is relegated to the Irish First Division. The second lowest-ranked team plays relegation/promotion playoff with the second best-ranked team in the Ireland First Division.
The winner either stays in the top tier league (if it’s already a member) or joins this league (if it was initially part of the Ireland First Division). The first-ranking club from the First Division directly joins the League of Ireland Premier Division.
Every team plays every other club four times (twice as hosts, twice as guests). This involves 36 rounds each season. With such a high number of matches, one’s betting opportunities can get numerous.
