Season passes for LOITV are back on the table and expected to be made available to football fans in 2023.
The FAI was this week in advanced talks with clubs about adjusting the subscription model for the existing streaming service.
And Mirror Sport understands the concept - to include the men’s Premier and First Divisions and the Women’s Premier Division - is close to being signed off on.

The return of the season pass would be good news for supporters, many of whom were frustrated to see it controversially ditched for the 2022 campaign.
Going into 2022, some clubs feared their attendances and season ticket sales would be hit if LOITV season passes were on offer again.
Instead, fans could only purchase live match streams on a game-by-game basis at €7 for Premier Division and €5 for First Division, with no bundled option available.
The venture was profitable and clubs benefited financially at the end of the season.
Still, the vast majority of clubs were buoyed by particularly strong attendances throughout the 2022 season.
And there is now a general acceptance that a bundled streaming package for all matches is unlikely to have any negative impact in that regard next year.
Club sources have described this week’s talks with the FAI as ‘positive’ as they work towards agreement on the finer details of the plan, such as distribution rights.
Prices have yet to be set and it is unclear if there will be confirmation of the 2023 streaming package this side of Christmas.
