The Kerry-Donegal and Cork-Meath All-Ireland SFC Group 1 games later this month will be screened by GAA+, the Irish Examiner can reveal.
Both matches have been chosen by the association’s streaming arm and are set to be shown on Saturday, May 23.
For their 4pm slot that Saturday, RTÉ had notified the GAA of their preference for the repeat of last year’s All-Ireland SFC final, Kerry and Donegal having also met in April’s Division 1 decider.

Their second choice had been Cork v Meath in Páirc Uí Rinn. However, that is also set to be broadcasted by GAA meaning RTÉ will televise one of the two remaining opening round matches, Galway v Kildare or Roscommon v Kildare, and GAA+ the remaining clash.
The change in the format of the All-Ireland SFC from group stages these past three years to an enhanced qualifier system this year meant the previous rights agreement relating to the early stages of the All-Ireland SFC was null and void.
GAA+ are also expected to have preference in the second half of Round 1 on May 30/31 when they are due to show three of the four matches. RTÉ will carry the fourth.
GAA+ are likely to have first call for the Round 2A/2B games on Saturday, June 13 as well as the third-round clashes on Saturday, June 20. On both weekends, they are scheduled to show three clashes.

After Round 1 of the SFC, RTÉ will broadcast live coverage of two Round 2A/2B on Sunday, June 14 and one of the four Round 3 fixtures on the weekend of June 20/21.
As before, live coverage of the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals will be split between the organisations, GAA+ showing the two Saturday games and RTÉ broadcasting the Sunday pair.
In consultation with participating counties and the media rights holders, the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee determines when games are played.
Great that these games are being televised. We’ve come a long way from one or two games available to view

I don’t really care since they’ve more or less killed off Gaelic Football as a pastime anyway, but its a bit ironic that GoGoTV was initially sold on the premise that it was ‘showing bonus games’ that otherwise wouldnt be shown at all, and now its dictating almost everything in terms of first preferences.
Its an abomination too that after 4 years they still dont have it as a channel on the Sky Box.
Findlay is spot on here from 24.30 talking what a load of bollocks streaming is.

GAA+ is a joke for pubs altogether, some disaster when the feed goes down for 10-15 minutes.
Would putting the channel on the Sky box make it too easy for dodgy boxes to take the feed?

I think you spelled precocious wrong there.

Would require a commercial agreement with Sky and a significant loss of revenue presumably.
all the niche channels on Sky would hardly be paying much to be on the box.
Would GAA+ not be similar?
Kerry have got their beloved 3pm Saturday in Killarney slot against Donegal.
You’d imagine Donegal will fill at least three football special trains to travel down the West Coast Mainline for this one.
This draw is mouth watering. The format is much more exciting than last year. Every round has jeopardy. It’s great that the likes of Kerry and Donegal can meet this early, really can spark a rivalry in the championship before possibly meeting in a final again
