BBC Sport Northern Ireland will cover four live games in this summer's Ulster SFC.

Fermanagh's game against Armagh on Saturday, 19 May and the Down v Antrim game on 26 May will both be shown live on the BBC iPlayer.

The first semi-final on 3 June and the Ulster final three weeks later will be live on BBC Two Northern Ireland.

There will be full deferred coverage of the four other ties.

The deferred games will start with the Ulster preliminary round tie between Donegal and Cavan on 13 May with Tyrone v Monaghan on 20 May, Donegal/Cavan v Derry on 27 May and the second semi-final on 10 June also shown in full shortly after the final whistle.

There will be live commentary of all games in the Ulster Championship on bbc.co.uk/sportni which will be available on a range of platforms and devices including smart phone and tablet devices - including on BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle MW, DAB and online.

"Once again the BBC have reached agreement with RTE that Ulster Championship games which they are broadcasting live, will be broadcast simultaneously on BBC. This is to be welcomed," Ulster secretary Brian McAvoy commented.

"While it would have been preferable had RTE selected more Ulster Championship games for live transmission, the re-structured Leinster and Munster Hurling Championships was always likely to result in less provincial football games being televised live.

"Ulster Championship games played on a Sunday that are not being broadcast live will be shown in their entirety by BBC on the evening of the game, while in an exciting development the BBC and the GAA have reached an agreement which will allow the two Saturday evening Ulster Championship games to be streamed live on BBC online.

"It promises to be an exciting Ulster Championship and the BBC are playing their part in making it so."
