Sky Sports is to further widen the visibility of its GAA coverage in 2020 by making all of its fixtures available on the Sky Sports Mix Channel.

This means they can be watched by anyone with a Sky account regardless of whether thy have additionally subscribed to the Sports Package.

The 14 games get underway with Dublin against Laois in the Leinster Hurling Championship on Saturday 24th October and run through to the All Ireland Football Final on Saturday, December 19th.

They will also all be available as part of Now TV allowing you to dip in and out for one day or one weekend.

Sky Sports Mix is available in approximately 900,000 homes in Ireland and has a potential audience across Britain of 23.9 million.

“Finally, intercounty GAA is back, and while it may be very different in many ways to other years, our commitment to bring our national games to life through unrivalled expertise and analysis remains unchanged,” said Sky Ireland Managing Director JD Buckley.

“This year, we’ve made the decision to move our 2020 Championship coverage to Sky Sports Mix, which will see our coverage reach its widest ever audience.”

“To quote a famous phrase from one of our shows; ‘Winter is coming’ and we are eagerly awaiting a winter of jam-packed action as the Dublin footballers aim for a record-breaking 6-in-a-row and the Premier County look to retain their All-Ireland hurling crown.”

“We are delighted to welcome our blockbuster Sky Sports analysis team back this season and to welcome Gráinne McElwain to the presenter’s chair. Sport is back and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Sky’s new GAA discussion programme, ‘Inside The Game’, airing every Wednesday in the run-up to and during the season.

After his successful debut on Sky Sports during the 2019 Championship, Kerry’s four-time All-Ireland winner Kieran Donaghy, will join Tyrone great Peter Canavan to provide expert football analysis.

Sky Sports’ hurling analysis will once again be provided by Clare’s two-time All-Ireland champion Jamesie O’Connor, Kilkenny’s nine-time All-Ireland winner JJ Delaney and four-time All-Star defender Ollie Canning (pictured above).

Lead commentary will come from Dave McIntyre and Mike Finnerty with co-commentary from Nicky English and Paul Earley.

Gráinne McElwain will step into Rachel Wyse’s shoes this year and will join Brian Carney  as co-host of Sky Sports’ GAA coverage and Sky’s mid-week GAA discussion show ‘Inside the Game’.
