The 2025 League of Ireland Premier Division, known as the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division for sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 41st season of the League of Ireland Premier Division, the top Irish league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1985.

The competition began on 14 February 2025 and is set to conclude on 1 November 2025.[2] As part of the opening weekend of fixtures, a special fixture between arch-rivals Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers took place at the Aviva Stadium, the national stadium of Republic of Ireland where a record Premier Division crowd of 33,208 was present.[3] The 2025 season became the first year that the league is entirely made up of full-time professional clubs and players.[4][5]

On 27 January 2025, it was announced that Virgin Media Television (Ireland) would become the "sole and exclusive free to air broadcaster of the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division" for the next four years, pledging to show one live game from each round of the division.[6] A new radio deal for broadcasting on Newstalk was announced just before the season started.[7]
