Every GAA Championship match this year to be broadcast live

Although the All-Ireland SFC is played on a knock-out format this year, RTÉ and Sky Sports’ early live Championship schedules are expected to be dominated by hurling

All 47 of the GAA’s senior inter-county championship games between the Liam MacCarthy and Sam Maguire Cups will be live broadcasted on TV or online.

As reported by the Irish Examiner last week, the GAA’s media rights holders had been approached by Croke Park about showing the entire senior inter-county championships live as the organisation was willing to relax their broadcasting agreements due to crowd restrictions.
