The photoproduction of J/Ψ in peripheral Oxygen - Oxygen (OO) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is investigated considering distinct assumptions for the modeling of the nuclear photon flux, overlap function and dipole - proton scattering amplitude. Predictions for the associated rapidity distributions and total cross - sections are presented. Our results indicate that the experimental study of the photoproduction of J/Ψ in peripheral OO collisions is, in principle, feasible. In addition, they point out that the combination of the results for this final state in OO collisions with those obtained for PbPb collisions will allow us to derive important constraints on the description of photon - induced process at peripheral collisions.
