Antrim GAA Club Championship 2026 - Live Stream Season

The Antrim GAA Club Championship is the heartbeat of Gaelic games in the county - not the county team in Croke Park, but the local clubs battling it out on pitches from the Glens of Antrim to the north Belfast suburbs. If you follow a club, have family playing, or simply want to catch proper competitive GAA without the inter-county fanfare, this is the championship that matters. Antrim GAA runs a live-stream season via the inPlayer platform, so whether you are in the county or watching from further afield, the games come to you.

What to expect

The 2026 club championship covers both hurling and Gaelic football, running from early summer through to county finals in autumn. Senior, intermediate and junior grades are included, giving games across every corner of the county.

In hurling, the senior grade is one of the most competitive club championships outside Munster. Clubs like Dunloy, Cushendall, Loughgiel and Ballycastle McQuillan have long traded the county title between them, and the standard of hurling at this level is well worth watching. On the football side, clubs including Cargin, Creggan, Randalstown and Cushendall are consistent contenders for senior honours.

Fixtures take place at club grounds throughout County Antrim - Belfast, Ballymena, Larne, Antrim town, the north coast and the Glens. The inPlayer streaming service covers games at grounds where no live gate is operating, and replays are uploaded after each match finishes, so you are not locked to a kick-off time if something clashes.

Access is through the Antrim GAA inPlayer page at page.inplayer.com/antrimgaa/. You register an account, pay per match or per package, and can stream on a phone, tablet, laptop or Smart TV via Chromecast or AirPlay. Only one device streams per account at a time.

Getting there

For games you want to attend in person, venues vary fixture by fixture across the county. Antrim town itself sits on the M2 motorway from Belfast, roughly 25 kilometres north of the city - about 25 minutes by car. Translink operates regular bus services from Belfast’s Europa Bus Centre to Antrim town, and the Antrim railway station is on the line between Belfast Great Victoria Street and Derry/Londonderry. Smaller club grounds in the Glens and on the north coast will generally require a car. Check antrim.gaa.ie for the venue of each specific fixture before setting off, as ground facilities and parking vary considerably between clubs.

While you’re in Antrim

The county has a lot to offer beyond the match. Antrim town sits on the edge of Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in Ireland and Britain, and the north coast - the Causeway Coast - is one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline on the island. There is more to see in Antrim and across Co. Antrim.
