The broadcaster is set to screen eight hours of live GAA action, with two provincial club matches on the agenda followed by coverage from Fenway Park in Boston as the Aer Lingus Fenway Hurling Classic takes place.

On the club scene back home, the Munster hurling club championship final is down for decision first with the highly-anticipated clash of Ballygunner and Na Piarsaigh throwing in at 2pm in Thurles.

Next up, it’s the Ulster football club championship semi-final meeting of Gaoth Dobhair and Crossmaglen Rangers at 3.30pm in Omagh, and then attention turns Stateside.

In TG4′s third year of broadcasting the Fenway Hurling Classic live, 2018 All-Ireland champions Limerick, last year’s Super 11s winners Clare, Cork and Waterford will battle it out for the Players Champions Cup at the home of the Boston Red Sox.

The Munster showdown between Clare and Cork comes first, with Limerick and Wexford going head-to-head straight after.

The two winners meet in the final (coverage at 8:10pm).
