THE AER LINGUS College Football Classic will be broadcast live on free-to-air television in Ireland for the very first time next month.
TG4 will show the Aviva Stadium clash between Georgia Tech and Florida State University on Saturday, 24 August [KO 5pm].
This is the opening fixture for the US College Football season, and also an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) game. It’s the third consecutive College Football game held in Ireland since the series was announced, and the eighth Division I College football game to be played on these shores.
Georgia Tech last played at Lansdowne Road in 2016 when they enjoyed a last-gasp win over Boston College, while Florida State will be contesting their first-ever overseas football fixture.
Over 24,000 people are expected to travel to Dublin from America for the game, and research estimates that it will be worth €100 million to the Irish economy.
“TG4 are pleased to be bringing the Aer Lingus College Football Classic to a free-to-air live television audience in Ireland,” TG4 Head of Sport Rónán Ó Coisdealbha said.
“This is one of the major sporting events being held in Ireland this year and we look forward to welcoming both Georgia Tech and Florida State University to Ireland for the 2024 game.”

What with all these beards everywhere???….don’t their women complain that it tickles too much ???….
What is the 42s facination with such a tiny minority sport as UFC and yet horse racing which is so popular and we lead the world in get a mention once in a blue moon.
Thats it, nobody gives a flying fart about something as boring as horse racing. MMA on the other hand is the one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
You might want to ask yourself the question of whether your liking for horse racing qualifies you to take a dump on ufc (which is not a sport btw kinda showing your ignorance there)? Or put another way, fair enough you want more horse racing but why are you criticising a sport you clearly know nothing about?
Horse racing may be a more popular sport in Ireland however a lot of that is from the older generations who tend not to be on this site. Ufc on the other hand is a hugely growing sport and is massive among the younger generations, this websites prime demographic
