Winning Streak will not be returning this autumn due to ongoing restrictions related to Covid-19, while the National Ploughing Association (NPA) have cancelled all National Ploughing Finals except the international qualifiers.
The news that  Winning Streak will remain off the air this autumn was announced by the National Lottery and RTÉ. 

A spokesperson for the show said: “Both National Lottery and RTÉ are disappointed to postpone the show but, given the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid-19, producing the programme while managing social distancing in studio, we feel, provides too much risk to players, their families (who travel from all over the country to support the player) and the staff of RTÉ, National Lottery and KPMG, who are the independent observers for the game show.
