TG4 has unveiled its extensive list of matches for live and free to view Gaelic Games TV coverage for the coming months, a mouth-watering menu of competitions and matches broadcast on the Irish language channel. In all TG4 will broadcast 42 matches in full between live and deferred action on GAA Beo this Spring with top games from the Allianz Leagues, AIB Club Championships, Independent.ie Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cup Finals, Eirgrid All-Ireland U21 Football Championship, Lidl Ladies Football League Finals and the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League Final.

TG4’s weekly live GAA coverage will again be complemented by highlights each Monday evening with action from all the major gaelic games competitions to be seen on GAA 2017 in a new slot at 8:00pm (Beginning on Monday February 6).

The popular weekend preview/review programme Seó Spóirt also returns on TG4 from Friday February 3 with Dara Ó Cinnéide and his guests discussing and previewing the weekends action. A brand new series of Laochra Gael will also begin in March, offering a fresh batch of profiles of legendary players of the modern era.

TG4’s Sports Editor Rónán Ó Coisdealbha is very pleased with the channel’s line-up of matches and highlights: “Spring is a very exciting time for the followers of Gaelic games,” he said: "The start of year competitions have thrown up some interesting results and brought a number of new names to the fore, even on the panels of the established county teams.  Now come the Leagues and the hunt for silverware continues in earnest with the colleges’ competitions also providing an important showcase for emerging talent.  

"The recently announced new five year TV rights deal with the GAA provides us with a really solid basis on which to plan our free-to-view coverage and we look forward to an even stronger partnership that brings mutual benefit and serves the public so well."
