According to a review of Sky Sports Ireland’s schedule, there are no Premier League fixtures listed today (Live Soccer TV). That makes today heavier on rugby, GAA, and golf.
The implication: if you’re a soccer fan, your best bet tonight is the Champions League on RTE 2 or TNT Sports 1.
GAA matches on TV today
TG4 Official Schedule (TG4 Official Schedule):
- Leinster U20 Hurling Semi-Final: Kilkenny v Offaly at 18:55
- Munster Minor Hurling: Cork v Limerick at 18:55
TG4 also streams GAA matches on its Spórt TG4 YouTube channel for viewers in Ireland.
Champions League and European fixtures
- Bayern Munich vs Paris at 19:00 – broadcast on RTE 2 (free-to-air), TNT Sports 1, Premier Sports 1, and DAZN 1
This match is one of the rare occasions where Irish viewers can watch Champions League football without a pay-TV subscription.
The Champions League match on RTE 2 is the best free-to-air option tonight.
