RTE can only access archives from last three years for ‘The Sunday Game’

the national broadcaster is restricted to showing highlights of matches that have been played within the current broadcasting rights agreement which has been in place since 2017 and continues until the end of 2021.

The broadcaster has brought back The Sunday Game despite the complete absence of championship fixtures and intends to run archive matches as well as features and topical discussion. The series began last weekend and featured the Galway-Clare All-Ireland hurling semi-finals from 2018 and Dublin’s football win over Mayo in 2017’s final.

Three years of material will make the remainder of the summer a tight stretch for RTÉ if the Eir access remain restricted.
