A small piece of TV history will be made on Saturday when Sky Sport broadcasts its first GAA double-header.

Armchair GAA fans are in for a treat with exclusive live coverage from 4.30pm on Sky Sports 3 of the All-Ireland football qualifier between Roscommon and Armagh from Dr Hyde Park.

Following their respective wins against Cavan and Tyrone over the weekend, both teams will enter the fixture with high hopes but something will have to give.

The football will be followed by exclusive live coverage of the meeting of neighbours Wexford and Waterford in the All-Ireland hurling qualifier at Nowlan Park.

Wexford dumped All-Ireland champions Clare out of the running following two epic encounters but Waterford will fancy their chances of raining on the Model County's parade.

Tune in to Sky Sports 3 at 4.30pm for all the team news and build-up to the football qualifier which has a 5pm throw-in time while the hurling has a 7pm throw in time.

Sky Sports News will show highlights as well as news, interviews and results on their 24-hour news channel, while skysports.com will have match reports, fixtures and interviews as well as news, blogs, videos and galleries.

GAA fans with a Sky Sport subscription can watch live on TV, online and on mobile and tablet devices via Sky Go or the award-winning Sky Sports for iPad app, which are both free for subscribers to download at no extra cost.

Non-subscribers can also watch these games on mobile, which is a first in Ireland, by downloading the Sky Sports TV app for just £9.99/€13.99 a month.
