TG4 HAVE ANNOUNCED their upcoming GAA Allianz League coverage, with 25 games live and exclusive across May and June.
This comes after eir Sport also outlined their schedule, with 11 games to come featuring 13 counties across six football and five hurling clashes.
The GAAGO service will be streaming all games in Division 1-4 in football and Division 1 in hurling that are not being televised live by TG4 or eir Sport. Counties in Division 2 and 3 of the hurling leagues have the option of streaming their matches themselves.
TG4 will show at least four live games every weekend, with one game on the Irish language station every Saturday and three games every Sunday — generally, three will be live on TG4, with a third available to watch live on the TG4 Player App, in addition to deferred full coverage of the game on TG4 later that day.
The coverage begins on the weekend of 8 May, with full focus on the Allianz Hurling League. The four matches to be shown are Westmeath v Galway, Wexford v Laois, Cork v Waterford [all live on TG4] and Antrim v Clare [live on app, with deferred coverage later].
Eir’s kicks off with the highly-anticipated hurling clash of Division 1 and All-Ireland champions Limerick against 2019 Liam McCarthy winners Tipperary, with Dublin and Kilkenny also doing battle on the same day.
With football underway the following weekend, TG4′s Saturday game is the Ulster derby of Tyrone and Donegal, while another standout football fixture available on the channel is the meeting of Division 1 league champions Kerry and six-in-a-row All-Ireland winners Dublin in Thurles on Sunday, 23 May.
The full list of coverage is below, as GAA Beo continues to be the home of live and exclusive coverage of GAA on TG4; presented by Micheál Ó Domhnaill — joined by a panel of expert analysts and commentators each week — and produced by Nemeton TV.
TG4 have also announced that GAA Beo’s coverage will have “unique features” such as picture-in-picture replays to ensure viewers never miss a second of the live action, along with live behind-the-goal angles for puck-outs and kick-outs.
The series will also bring the players’ stories closer to the viewers, with features on leading hurlers and footballers such as Waterford’s Jamie Barron and Donegal’s Ryan McHugh to come.
