Sky Sports GAA Football action will kick off on June 26th with a double-header that will see Sligo take on Mayo, followed by Kerry's clash with Clare.
Hurling fans will want to clear their diaries on July 3rd as 2021 Championship Hurling on Sky Sports kicks off with a mouth-watering triple-header. Galway will take on Dublin or Antrim in the first clash of the day. Game two will see Kilkenny face Wexford or Laois, and to top it off, title holders Limerick will take on the Rebel County.

Hosted by Brian Carney, the show will broadcast every Wednesday at 9pm from June 16th, on Sky Sports Arena and will feature a range of GAA experts giving their views on all the unfolding drama of the Championships.
Tyrone GAA legend Peter Canavan, the Kingdom's Four-Time All-Ireland winner and Armagh coach, Kieran Donaghy, and Donegal legend Jim McGuinness, will join Gr inne to provide expert insights and analysis for all Sky Sports GAA Football fixtures. Sky Sports GAA Hurling insights will be provided by Galway's Four-Time All-Star, Ollie Canning, the Banner County's Two-Time All-Ireland champion Jamesie O'Connor and Kilkenny's Nine-Time All-Ireland winner JJ Delaney.
Lead commentary for each fixture will come from Dave McIntyre and Mike Finnerty, with co-commentary from Nicky English and Paul Earley.

We are delighted to be broadcasting 18 games this year and, once again, in addition to all of the live action, we will be providing unique insights and analysis from some of the biggest names in GAA.
