Key Features
The flagship free-to-use digital streaming framework operated by Ireland's elite national broadcaster, RTÉ. Serves as the premier domestic hub for massive Free-To-Air (FTA) international athletic properties, actively simulcasting highly coveted live television broadcasts of the 2026 Six Nations, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and the historic All-Ireland GAA Finals natively via the RTÉ2 television feed. Recently permanently deactivated its premium international subscription app in favor of a severely restricted global freemium model.
