FIVE GAMES ARE live on TV this week as the GAA 2026 season continues to get up and running.

TG4 are live from the Gaelic Grounds on Wednesday night for the pre-season Munster hurling league meeting of John Kiely’s Limerick side against Ben O’Connor’s Cork team.

Then next weekend the All-Ireland intermediate and junior club finals take centre stage  in Croke Park. Cork’s Kilbrittain play Sligo’s Easkey in the junior hurling final, with Tipperary’s Upperchurch-Drombane playing Mayo’s Tooreen in the intermediate hurling decider.

Then in football it’s Kerry’s An Ghaeltacht against Derry’s Glenullin in the intermediate final, while Kerry’s Ballymacelligott play Tyrone’s Clogher in the junior final. All four Croke Park finals are live on TG4.

The Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cup competitions also commence this week, while there’s pre-season inter-county action across the four provinces.
