THE GAA’S NEW streaming service, GAA+, have announced details of their scheduling over the course of the championship, with 40 games covered and over 30 getting full broadcast treatment.

Coverage begins this Saturday at McGovern Park, Ruislip, west London, where Roscommon come to play London in the Connacht quarter-final.

There will also be two other Connacht championship games live-streamed this weekend with Galway travelling to face New York on Sunday and Mayo hosting Sligo in Castlebar.

The opening provincial hurling championship match on GAA+ sees Tipperary face Limerick in Munster on Sunday 20 April, while Dublin play Wexford in Leinster on Saturday 26 April.

The programmes will be fronted up by some experienced broadcasters and commentators, with Grainne McElwaine and Aisling O’Reilly in presenter roles, while Dave McIntyre, Mike Finnerty and Liam Aherne will be on commentary duties.

In keeping with the GAA GO flavour to the new venture, matchday analysts such as Marc Ó Sé, Paddy Andrews, Aaron Kernan and Michael Meehan will also be around the fringes of the football fields, while Richie Hogan, Seamus Hickey and Tommy Walsh will be running the rule for hurling games.

Season passes for Irish based users are now on sale for €79, less than €2 per game, with a 10% discount available for GAA members through the GAA’s Foireann membership portal. Individual matches and ’3 for 2′ bundles will also be available.
