GAA on TV this weekend: five massive matches to be broadcast live

July 05, 2018

The live cameras will be out again at GAA venues around the country this weekend.

Three of the four Round Four SF Qualifiers will be shown live on television on Saturday, along with the replayed Leinster SHC final on Sunday and the Leinster U21 FC final on Friday.

Saturday is a huge day as three last-twelve senior football games are going to be shown one after the other. The meeting of Armagh and Roscommon in Portlaoise at 3pm is being aired by RTE News Now, while Sky Sports are showing exclusive coverage of Cork V Tyrone from O'Moore Park at 5 and Fermanagh V Kildare in Navan at 7.

The fourth Qualifier between Monaghan and Laois is being ignored, while RTE instead focuses on the Leinster SHC final replay between Galway and Kilkenny in Thurles, which throws in at 3pm.

Meanwhile, tomorrow evening, Friday, TG4 are broadcasting live coverage from Tullamore of Kildare's meeting with Dublin in the Leinster U21 FC final.

There's a chance to play catch-up on Sunday night when The Sunday Game on RTE 2 shows all the weekend's GAA highlights at 21:30. Meanwhile, TG4's GAA 2018 programme on Monday evening will also provide highlights of all this weekend's championship games.
