National GAA Leagues: BBC for live broadcast of matches in hurling and football

Tyrone’s opening Division Two fixture against Kildare and Monaghan’s will go live in the National League on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport NI website in 2026.

Six football and hurling fixtures have been confirmed, with more fixtures to be announced later in the season.

It’s a football double on the opening weekend, as the Red Hands welcome last year’s Tailteann Cup winners to Healy Park on Saturday 24 January as they attempt to raise the challenge for a return to the top flight.

The following day, an Ulster Division One derby between newly promoted Monaghan and 2024 All-Ireland champions Armagh completes an action-packed weekend.

There is no slowing down as there is another double weekend to follow between both codes.

On Saturday, January 31, Derry host Tyrone in one of the greatest rivalries in Ulster football, while on Sunday, February 1, attention turns to hurling with Antrim manager Davie Fitzgerald pitting his side against his native Clare in a Division 1B clash at Dunloy.

The Saffrons return on Sunday 22nd February when they host Carlow, while they return to football on 28th February for another exciting encounter as Tyrone host Mickey Harte Offaly in Dungannon.
