GAAGO has announced that up to 23 games will be exclusively streamed when the Allianz League returns later this month.
The service will allow GAA fans at home to stream inter-county GAA games live or on demand in 1080p HD, having previously only been available outside of Ireland only.
The move will be a major boost for supporters unable to attend matches due to Covid-19 restrictions and games from every division of the Allianz Football League will be available on the platform, including the Division 1 clash of Monaghan and Kerry on Saturday 17 October.
The finals of the Allianz Hurling League Divisions 2A, 2B and 3B are also among the games being streamed on GAAGO.
Matches broadcast on domestic TV will continue to be available outside of Ireland only.
Pay-per game access will be priced at €5, with county boards facilitating a free access scheme for hospitals and care homes.

GAA President John Horan said: "Providing viewing access to games, albeit through a screen rather than in person for many of our members, has been of utmost importance in recent months and GAAGO’s first step into the domestic streaming market for upcoming Allianz League matches is a continuation of this endeavour.
"We are delighted to balance broadcast coverage of our remaining fixtures on GAAGO and our linear TV partner stations TG4, eir Sport and RTÉ. The distribution of complimentary match passes to hospitals and care homes in partnership with relevant GAA County Boards is also a very important and positive development."
