    Maybe worth enquiring at an airport hotel.
    A bit lateral would be to pack a portable TV in the boot of your car, if you've parked there.

    The Maldron hotel is two minutes walk from the airport. I'd say theyll be showing it. As far as bars go, Crumln village would be the closest where the Fiddler's Inn or McGeowns will definitely show it. Once you've got your bags and are out of the airport, 15 minutes will take you to Fiddlers or McGeowns.

    If you have any family with you, I wouldn't even consider going to any pub, and especially if you don't know the area and pubs very well. Airport hotels would be your best bet by far, and as you say ring them first to see if they will have it on.

    If you exhaust the airport hotels, you could try the Elk in Toomebridge, it's a large roadside/pub/restaurant on the Derry side of the outskirts of Toomebridge, on the left hand side as your heading to Derry. It's 20mins / half hour from the airport but you might catch the second half. Again I'd ring them before you count on it being on. Other than a large hotel, and the 'airport' hotels are the only ones in that neck of the woods, east of the Bann I wouldn't bother try looking for somewhere to stop and watch it.
