Comprehensive Allianz League coverage on TG4

TG4 will broadcast 25 live and exclusive games from the Allianz League in both football and hurling in the coming months, including at least four live games each weekend.

One of the live games will be on Saturday, with three on Sunday – two live on TG4 itself and a third available to view on the TG4 Player in addition to deferred full coverage of the game on TG4 later that day.

The action gets underway on May 8 with coverage of the Allianz National Hurling League games between Westmeath and Galway, Wexford and Laois, Cork and Waterford, and Antrim and Clare.

GAA BEO will continue to be the home of live and exclusive coverage of GAA on TG4. The series will be presented by Micheál Ó Domhnaill, and he will be joined by a panel of expert analysts and commentators each week.

GAA BEO’s coverage will have unique features such as picture-in-picture replays to ensure viewers never miss a second of the live action. Fans can also expect live behind-the-goal angles for puck-outs and kick-outs, giving the TG4 audience a superior tactical vantage point for these key aspects of the game.

The series will also bring the players’ stories closer to the viewers, with features on leading hurlers and footballers such as Waterford’s Jamie Barron and Donegal’s Ryan McHugh.

In addition to the live coverage of the Allianz Leagues games, GAA 2021 – TG4’s weekly Gaelic games TV highlights show – returns on Monday, May 10, at 8 p.m. The series will broadcast all the best action from the previous weekend’s games.

Rónán Ó Coisdealbha, TG4 head of sport, said: “TG4 is delighted to announce the return of the Allianz Leagues to our screens for 2021. While we are bringing you all the action, we will also be working tirelessly alongside our partners in the GAA and with those in different playing grounds across the island to ensure a safe environment for all involved.

“TG4 has a long history of providing comprehensive GAA coverage and we are pleased to able to continue doing so during these challenging times.”

The TG4 Player app is available to download from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Stores, and can be used to cast on to television screens.
