Mickey Harte’s first league game as Derry manager to be on RTÉ

Mickey Harte’s maiden National Football League game as Derry manager will commence RTÉ's coverage of the 2024 competition when the Oak Leaf face Kerry in Tralee on Saturday, January 27th.

The following Saturday the national broadcaster will be in Castlebar for Mayo’s clash with Dessie Farrell’s Dublin, while RTÉ's first live hurling league offering of the season will be Cork’s home tie against Kilkenny on Saturday, February 10th.

A total of eight live games have been announced by Montrose, six in football and two in hurling.

The Saturday league live slot has been taken on by RTÉ since eir Sport exited the market. The GAA announced a fresh broadcast rights deal last October, in which it was stated: “A new sharing arrangement between RTÉ and TG4 will see an increase in the number of Saturday night free to air Allianz League games broadcast while TG4 will continue to broadcast Sunday afternoon and non-regular round Allianz League games.
