RT Sport is set to re-show unforgettable games, goals and greatest sporting hits. Starting on RT 2 and RT Player at 9.30pm on Thursday 16 April, RT Sport Classics will run every Thursday for 10 weeks. For the as-live experience, viewers will be able to follow the games online with live blogs on the RT website and RT News Now app and, over on RT 2FM, Game On will feature interviews with the main protagonists to whet appetites.

In soccer, over the past two Sundays, RT has shown every goal from the 2014 and 2018 World Cups and will continue this Sunday 19th April (RT 2 and RT Player, 4.05pm) to bring more goals and stories from the men's and women's World Cups; the highlights of the Republic of Ireland's last EURO experience in 2016 and a look back at our journey to date in the 2020 campaign. From tonight, Tuesday 14th April, tune in for all of the best UEFA Champions League Classic games (see below).

As the 150th Irish Grand National did not take place last weekend, RT Player went through the archive in an attempt to fill the void. The white flag was due to be raised on Easter Monday and the RT Player relived three of the greatest Irish Grand Nationals of all time.

GAA fans are in for a treat as the RT Player will showcase the All-Ireland finals series'. From this Friday 17th April, viewers will get to relive their excitement around every single All-Ireland football, hurling and camogie final that was shown on RT over the past decade. RT 2 will be bringing back the Sunday Game in the coming weeks with all best of the GAA archive across all men's and women's matches.

In June/July, it's Euro 88, Italia 90 all over again, as we relive the great days of our World Cup and Euro experiences, with themed Sunday evenings across RT Sport. Details to be announced.

Meanwhile, Game On continues Monday to Friday on RT 2FM from 6-7pm with Marie Crowe, Donncha O'Callaghan and Ruby Walsh featuring a great mix of the latest news and feature interviews.
