T Bluey ag teacht go RT ! Beginning on Monday 6 April 2026, Bluey will be available as Gaeilge on RT KIDSjr and RT Player. Children will be able to connect with the Irish language in a new way, learning new words through watching the global hit, Bluey. The series follows Bluey, a loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mam, Dad and her little sister, Bingo. Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighbourhood into her world of fun.
Twenty-six episodes from series one have been translated into Irish and episodes will be available to stream from Monday 6 April. And more episodes will be available as Gaeilge later this year.
The series has been voiced in Irish by Conamara actors Gr inne Bleasdale as Bluey, Laoise N Nuall in as little sister Bingo, Meadhbh N Eidhin as Mam, Chilli and P l Gr ofa as Dad, Bandit.
Following its debut in Australia in 2018, Bluey has gained millions of fans around the world and is now one of the most-watched animated TV series globally. The BAFTA and multi-Emmy Award-winning phenomenon airs in over 140 countries and is the #1 most-streamed show in the U.S. for both 2024 and 2025 (Nielsen). Bluey was the number one show kids show on RT Player in 2025 and continues to be in 2026. It also holds the number one spot as the top kids' show on both CBeebies and Disney in the UK.
Suzanne Kelly, RT Group Head of Children's and Young People's Content said: We are so thrilled to be welcoming Bluey as Gaeilge to RT KIDSjr. Bluey has established itself as a firm family favourite across our service, and now we get to introduce Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad to a whole new audience! So, tune into Bluey as Gaeilge, coming soon to RT KIDSjr. In the words of Bluey it's gotta be done!
Dermot Horan, RT Director of Acquisitions and Co-Productions said: RT is delighted to be able to offer our younger viewers the choice to now watch Bluey, one of the most popular pre-school shows in the world, as Gaeilge. This follows on from our successful launches of Peppa Pig (Peppa Muc) and Thomas and Friends (Tom s agus a Chairde) in Irish, and is all part of our strategy to make the biggest kids' brands available to parents and children in both Irish and English.
Cecilia Persson, Managing Director of BBC Studios Kids & Family said: Bluey's charm and playful spirit has captured the hearts of families all over the world and we're delighted that viewers in Ireland can now connect more deeply with Bluey and her family, and enjoy the series in Irish for the first time.
A safe space for young people to watch native content, RT KIDSjr offers programmes which are ad-free and available in Safe Mode on RT Player.
Bluey as Gaeilge will begin on RT KIDSjr on 6 April 2026, and you can watch all of the fun, ad free on RT Player any time!
