Big year ahead.
GAAGO is the lifeblood of many Irish sports fan living abroad.
It’s a service, provided by RTE and the GAA, that gives access to a huge amount of GAA matches allowing subscribers to watch matches from the comfort of their own bed (if they so wish) in all corners of the world.
While not perfect, the good news is there are improvements on the way, not least to the price which will reduce from €160 to €140 for a season pass (excluding Ireland and Great Britain).
For that money you will get over 120 live GAA ‘events’.
Obviously, the events most folks are interested in are the matches, but there are a series of documentaries and GAA-related programmes that will come as part of the package.
If you are in England, Scotland or Wales, a season pass is priced at €100 and will give access to over 80 matches, live and on-demand, as broadcast by RTÉ, TG4 and eir, in addition to the 20 episodes of The Sunday Game highlights show.
Games broadcast by Sky Sports will only be available through Sky Sports.
