The GAA’s TV media partners are weighing up the feasibility of live broadcasting the entire senior inter-county championships as Croke Park are willing to relax their broadcasting agreements.

With attendances to be greatly restricted if not permitted at all, GAA chiefs are aware of the need to make the Sam Maguire and Liam MacCarthy Cup games available to as many people as possible. RTÉ and Sky Sports as well as TG4 are this week assessing how many games they would be able to stream as well as show live on their channels.
