There's plenty of GAA action across the week on TV or stream with 15 games in total available from the comfort of your couch. 

TG4 once again leads the way with eight games of U20 and minor action, GAAGO and RTE have three games apiece, and Clubber has a Joe McDonagh Cup clash.

Dublin and Offaly battle it out for the Leinster U20 hurling title on Wednesday night before Tipperary and Cork do likewise for the Munster crown on Friday night, with TG4 broadcasting both games live on TV. 

Dublin and Roscommon meet in the All-Ireland round robin at Croke Park for the second successive season, while Donegal and Tyrone meet in the championship for the second time in four weeks and for the third time in eleven months. Tyrone won
an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final by eight points last year; Donegal won this year’s Ulster semi-final tie by two
points after extra-time.

It’s decision time in the Leinster and Munster hurling championships with all five games in the final round being hugely
important. By Sunday evening, the identity of the finalists and third-placed will be known, while either Antrim or Carlow
will be on their way to Joe McDonagh Cup level.

Kilkenny, Dublin, Wexford and Galway in intense battles for places in the Leinster final or a crucial third place finish,
which guarantees continued involvement in the All-Ireland championship. Antrim v Carlow will decide who remains in the Leinster championship and who drops down to Joe McDonagh Cup level next year... next Sunday promises to be quite a day on the eastern front.

Clare, Cork, Limerick and Waterford all face a tense Sunday afternoon as they chase places in the final and, failing that,
taking third place, which earns a place in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final. Cork have completed their programme and are on four points with Clare and Limerick, who have played three games each. Waterford (3pts) are by no means out of contention as a win over Limerick would earn them a place in the Munster final. If Limerick win, Waterford will be eliminated from the All-Ireland race.
