RTÉ HAS ANNOUNCED its busy line-up of GAA coverage over the next few weeks ahead of the resumption of the 2020 inter-county season.
20 games will be shown on The Sunday Game Live with 16 more available on these shores through GAAGO, as RTÉ bring fans plenty of live GAA championship action from the provincial stages right up to the All-Ireland football final under the bright lights of Croke Park on 19 December.
The TV schedule kicks off this weekend as the National League returns, and the national broadcaster’s cameras head to the Athletic Grounds on Saturday evening as Armagh host Roscommon (throw-in 5.15pm, RTÉ2 and RTÉ player).
The Munster hurling quarter-final battle of Clare and Limerick in Thurles next Sunday, 25 October, opens their championship coverage.
Several other mouth-watering provincial battles will also be screened, along with the entire knockout stages of the All-Ireland camogie championship and the Joe McDonagh Cup final for the first time ever.
Former Kerry football boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice, All-Ireland winning Galway hurling manager Micheál Donoghue and Mayo ladies football and Aussie Rules great Cora Staunton will join a stellar line-up of football and hurling pundits, listed further below.
“If the public health situation allows, RTÉ Sport will produce more live games this year than ever before, across television, radio and online, in addition to working with our partners in GAAGO to ensure supporters have access to our national games in an exceptional year,” RTÉ Group Head of Sport Declan McBennett says.
“Bringing additional games to the public during this uncertain time is core to RTÉ’s public service remit, and we look forward to working with BBC Northern Ireland to ensure the maximum number of games are made available to the audience.”
There are also games being streamed live online this weekend. Earlier this week, the Camogie Association announced an unprecedented number of games will be covered live during the All-Ireland championship.
Competition sponsors Liberty Insurance will provide coverage on their Facebook page of the senior Group 2 game between Kilkenny and Waterford in Walsh Park on Saturday at 2pm. The Group 3 meeting of Tipperary and Clare will also be streamed on Sunday (throw-in 2pm), with counties offering coverage of several other ties:
