London Irish confirm comeback for 2026 - Season ticket waiting list revealed

The Exiles will use the platform to modernise their ticketing, fan engagement, and match-day experience. Irish supporters can already join the waitlist at londonirishrugbyclub.tixr.com for the chance to be first in line for season tickets and match passes. Fans who sign up by October 31, 2025 are entered into a draw to win a pair of season tickets for the club’s comeback campaign.

The partnership is designed to be a cornerstone of London Irish’s revival strategy, offering supporters a single digital hub to manage tickets, upgrades, merchandise, food and beverage pre-orders, and more. Fans will even be able to pre-authorise cards for access to sold-out inventory, resell or transfer tickets, and upgrade seats, all from within their Tixr account.

Kyle Jordan, interim CEO of London Irish, said:

“Tixr immediately saw the value in London Irish, and we instantly saw the technology they bring as a way to help us enhance the rugby experience for our fans. We aim to become a more modern, welcoming brand for our fans all over the world to deliver unforgettable experiences each step of the way.”

Nate Liberman, VP of Sports at Tixr, added:

“We’re proud to help the London Irish harness data to strengthen connections with their supporters and guide smarter decisions as the club builds on its storied legacy. Our modern approach to ticketing and marketing will play a vital role in their resurgence, and we’re honored to be part of their comeback.”

London Irish’s rebirth comes just two years after the club fell into administration in 2023, when Covid enforced financial issues forced them out of the Gallagher Premiership. It was a devastating blow for a club with more than a century of history and a loyal supporter base across West London and beyond.

In February 2025, the club was rescued by Irish buisinessman and Formula 1 Owner Eddie Jordan who's consortium acquired the Exiles with a long-term vision of returning them to professional rugby by 2026. Sadly, Jordan passed away in March 2025, with his son insisting that the club's resurgence remains on track for a 2026 return. The group has pledged to restore the club’s presence in West London while embracing modern strategies to connect with fans worldwide.

Founded in 1898, London Irish have always been known as a “home away from home” for Irish people in London, and the new ownership is determined to ensure that heritage remains at the heart of their upcoming revival.
