The station, which has been broadcasting Irish basketball since 2014, will have live coverage of the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Domino\u2019s National Cup finals in January and the Domino\u2019s Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Super League finals in April.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>14 games will be broadcast live on TG4 during the 2025\/26 season. The announcement comes ahead of a busy week of international fixtures, as Ireland\u2019s men\u2019s team start life under new head coach Michael Bree. Ireland travel to Luxembourg for Thursday\u2019s in FIBA EuroBasket 2029 Pre-Qualifiers opener, followed by a home game with North Macedonia on Sunday at the National Basketball Arena.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basketball Ireland CEO, John Feehan<\/strong>, said: <em>\u201cI am delighted to see a continuation of Basketball Ireland\u2019s long standing partnership with TG4, which has been in place since 2014. They\u2019ve provided superb coverage of our Irish international teams since our return to FIBA EuroBasket in 2021. We\u2019ve continued to build on our relationship, with TG4 showing last July\u2019s summer friendlies against Norway and September\u2019s FIBA 3&#215;3 Europe Cup. This is in addition to TG4\u2019s long-running broadcast of the National Cup finals every January, along with the conclusion to our domestic season &#8211; the Domino\u2019s Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Super League finals. Irish basketball continues to grow, both in terms of participation and engagement, and TG4 coverage forms a key part of this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>R\u00f3n\u00e1n O\u2019Coisdealbha, TG4 Head of Sport<\/strong>, added: <em>\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen the surge in interest in Irish basketball over the last number of years and we\u2019re thrilled to extend this partnership for the next two seasons with Basketball Ireland. The Irish men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams have put in some really impressive performances in Europe, picking up notable wins along the way. The National Cup finals continue to be one of the showpiece events in the Irish sporting calendar and we round out the domestic season with a \u2018Super Sunday\u2019, broadcasting back-to-back Domino\u2019s Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Super League finals.
