Yeah, the Euros are cool, but did you know championship is starting this weekend?
It's here folks, championship weekend, is here. All year players have been busting themselves for this moment.
They spent winter running outdoors in the rain, lifting freezing weights in their unheated sheds, and enduring Zoom session after zoom session, and with only one goal in mind... running out on championship day.
Let's not forget about you, the loyal viewers! Usually holidays are planned around the championship it's taken that seriously, you wouldn't miss it for the world and after watching yet another Dublin triumph over winter, you can now re-start the cycle of hope and possibility again.
Is this our year? Sure, why not?
The high scoring Kerry team take on Clare in Munster, Sligo are up against last year's All-Ireland finalists Mayo, and no one can tell what way Ulster is going to go this season but it kicks off with Donegal v Down.
And it all begins this weekend, but where can I watch these glorious games I hear you ask? Well everything you need to know is below, so clear your schedule, get comfortable and tune in!
