Pass Holders:
If you are a Season Pass holder, as outlined in the description of your package, it grants you access to the 38 GAAGO Exclusive games during the 2023 Championship. As RTÉ, TG4, and BBC NI broadcasts are not included in this package, if you wish to watch a game broadcast by one of those broadcasters whilst traveling outside of the island of Ireland you will not have automatic access to them (as they are not included in your package) but you can purchase them as pay-per-game purchases.
Similarly, if you are an Annual Pass GB holder, as outlined in the description of your pass package, your pass includes access to all content on GAAGO except games televised by BBC due to rights restrictions (approximately 6 games a year including the All-Ireland Semis and Finals). If you are traveling outside of GB and wish to watch a game being televised in GB by BBC you will be able to watch it once your location is read correctly but will be required to purchase it additionally as a standalone purchase as access to it is not included in your pass package. Annual Pass GB holders traveling on the island of Ireland (NI & ROI) will also not be able to access games broadcast by RTÉ, TG4 or BBC NI on our service due to rights restrictions in the territory.
