The 2023 League of Ireland season gets underway this evening (Friday, February 17) as clubs compete in their first competitive fixture of the new campaign after a number of weeks of pre-season action.

So, who are the favourites to triumph in this year's Premier Division and First Division?

ODDS

Premier Division

Title-holders Shamrock Rovers (5/6) are the favourites to retain the Premier Division crown in 2023 while 2022 FAI Cup champions Derry City (6/4) will fancy their chances of going all the way this year.

First Division

Beaten play-off finalists Waterford FC (7/5) are favourites to win this year's First Division title and make the step up to the top tier next season. Galway United (23/10) may have something to say about that as the Tribesmen have been there or thereabouts the last few seasons.
