RTÉ will broadcast up to 40 live games, as well as a number of special webcasts throughout the season in the new Sunday Game Extra, while a weekly special guest panellist will join the Sunday Game panel.

RTÉ Radio 1 will provide live coverage of all major matches, as well as an extended Sport at Seven each weekday with new hosts Pat Spillane and Des Cahill taking the reins on a Monday and Michael Lyster on a Friday.

Television coverage will begin next Sunday, when All-Ireland champions Kerry take on Tipperary in the Munster senior football championship and Derry meet Armagh in the Ulster senior football championship.
