TG4 has announced a new online streaming service, providing live, free-to-view and worldwide coverage of GAA matches.

The select fixtures will be offered exclusively online and available all over the world and will be in addition to the channel’s list of televised Gaelic games matches.

The first fixture to be live streamed will be the Post Primary Senior Hurling Finals from Semple Stadium on March 25.


The service will also stream all four Under 21 Provincial Football Finals.

TG4 will televise extended highlights of the matches on the same night.

Rónán Ó Coisdealbha, TG4 Sports Editor, welcomed the new development.

"We know from long experience that there is a huge appetite worldwide from followers of Gaelic Games for high-quality coverage of the widest possible selection of the Association’s premier competitions in hurling and football.

"This initiative is our latest response to that demand we are confident that it will prove very popular and generate favourable comment.

"Showcasing emerging talent is a core part of TG4’s mission, in sport as in other areas of cultural activity and this Spring will see us prove the truth of the Irish proverb 'Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí.'"

Great news.

Good stuff. Shame they aren't covering the odd earlier round games of the U21s too but it's better than nothing.

Again tg4 show themselves to be smart tech savvy operators and streets ahead of their higher budget rivals. Not thinking of any rivals in particular like.

Akrasia

I hope the resolution is decent. It's hard to watch hurling on a low res feed, but fair play to tg4 for trying

Wonder how long this'll stay fta?

I think in the longer-term the GAA should cut out the TG4 middleman and simply stream the games themselves.

Munster GAA streamed some of the post-primary games a few weeks back and did a perfectly fine job.

Anyone know if these will also become part of the GAAGO package ?
