TG4 has confirmed that it will have live coverage of the highly anticipated Round 2 Allianz Hurling League clash between Cork and Limerick this Saturday evening.

The game, in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork, will be available to viewers across multiple platforms, with TG4’s live coverage beginning on the TG4 Player and TG4 App from 7.25pm on Saturday night, ahead of throw-in at 7.30pm.

Commentary for the match will be provided by TG4’s expert GAA Beo team led by Micheál Ó Drisleáin and Pat Fleury, bringing viewers all the action, insight, and analysis from SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

For fans unable to tune in live, updates and stand-out scores will be available on @SportTG4 platforms across social media. 

The match will also be available in full on demand on the TG4 Player and App following the broadcast.

It comes following news that RTÉ and Cork GAA had failed to reach an agreement that would have allowed the game to be shown live by the broadcaster.

The body didn’t want the game to clash with Ireland’s first outing in this year’s Six Nations, the eagerly anticipated clash with England.

A Cork County GAA Board spokesperson had released a statement earlier this week in which it stated that the board had been informed "some weeks ago" that the Cork v Limerick match, scheduled to throw in at 7.30pm, was not going to be the game to be screened live on RTÉ on Saturday.

"We were not in a position to meet a subsequent request to change the game to an earlier time to facilitate the broadcast, as the alternative time clashed directly with the Ireland v England Rugby game and we sought not to deprive our own supporters of seeing both games,” said the spokesperson.

In a post on X, RTÉ Sport had said that the broadcaster had "sought Cork-Limerick in the Allianz Hurling League as our match selection a number of months ago but the counties could not accommodate". The broadcaster subsequently chose the Armagh v Tyrone football clash which gets underway at 6pm.
