GAA GUIDE: When and where to watch three Kilkenny matches live on TV or stream this week
U20, minor and senior Cats all feature on screen as Leinster hurling clashes take centre stage
It’s a huge week for Kilkenny hurling fans, with all three county teams — U20, minor and senior — set to feature in televised or streamed matches as part of a bumper GAA schedule.
First up, the U20s face Laois on Wednesday night in a Leinster semi-final live on Spórt TG4 YouTube. On Saturday, the minor Cats host Dublin at UPMC Nowlan Park in another Leinster semi-final, also on TG4’s YouTube channel.
Then on Sunday, Derek Lyng’s senior hurlers welcome Dublin to the same venue for a vital Round 4 clash in the Leinster SHC, live on GAA+.
They are among 18 matches set for live broadcast or streaming this week across TG4, RTÉ, GAA+ and Clubber.
The action begins midweek with three provincial U20 hurling ties on Wednesday evening, including the Munster U20 hurling final between Tipperary and Clare live on TG4. Also on the bill are two Leinster U20 hurling semi-finals, with Laois facing Kilkenny on Spórt TG4 YouTube and Galway meeting Dublin live on the TG4 Player.
Friday offers another strong underage double-header, with Louth and Mayo clashing in the All-Ireland U20 football semi-final, while Cork take on Waterford in the Munster minor hurling final, both streaming on TG4.
The senior action returns on Saturday, with the All-Ireland football championship group stages getting underway on GAA+. Kerry welcome Roscommon to Fitzgerald Stadium at 2.30pm, followed by a heavyweight tie between Galway and Dublin at Pearse Stadium at 5pm.
Saturday also includes key matches in the Leinster SHC (Galway v Antrim), Joe McDonagh Cup (Westmeath v Carlow), and Leinster minor hurling (Kilkenny v Dublin), plus two Ulster minor football semi-finals.
The action begins early Sunday with Galway and Wexford contesting a Leinster minor hurling semi-final in Portlaoise.
The day is stacked with top-tier hurling fixtures as Tipperary face Waterford and Limerick take on Cork in two mouth-watering Munster SHC clashes live on RTÉ. Elsewhere, Kilkenny host Dublin in a Leinster SHC showdown, while Leitrim meet Sligo in the Tailteann Cup.
