Kerry vs Donegal: Start time, FREE live stream, TV channel for huge GAA All-Ireland football final
ALL eyes will be on Croke Park once again THIS SUNDAY as Kerry face Donegal in a mouthwatering GAA All-Ireland football final! Kerry are the most successful Gaelic football team in the competition's history, having lifted the title a staggering 38 times. 2 2 And the Irish giants are appearing in their third final in four years after beating Tyrone 1-20 to 0-17 in a thrilling semi-final clash. But you could argue that opponents Donegal will be hungrier to win the championship, as their only two title wins were way back in 1992 and 2012. Furthermore, Jim McGuinness' side should have the wind in their sails following a stunning 3-26 to 0-15 semis triumph over Meath. However, Joe Brolly believes Donegal go into this final as favourites, which wasn't a good omen for Kerry's previous opponents, Armagh. When is the GAA All-Ireland football final? The GAA All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal will take place on Saturday, July 27. It is scheduled to get underway at 3.30pm BST / 10.30am ET. Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is the chosen venue for this iconic match and it can host a whopping 82,300 fans. Armagh won their second title, with a 1–11 to 0–13 win against Galway in the 2024 final. How to watch the GAA All-Ireland football final for FREE The GAA All-Ireland football final will be broadcast LIVE on BBC Two Northern Ireland. Fans can stream the entire action for FREE on BBC iPlayer. It will also be shown on RTE One - instead of the usual RTE Two - in Ireland because of the Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain. Coverage is expected to get underway from 2:15pm BST - one hour and 15 minutes before the throw-in. Fans in the US can watch the match through the GAA+ stream or website. Alternatively, SunSport will have coverage of the entire action through our live blog. Who will be the referee? The GAA has announced that Brendan Cawley will officiate this year's All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal. It'll be the Kildare native's first time refereeing Gaelic football 's showpiece occasion. The Sarsfields clubman has been on the inter-county officiating circuit since 2019 and is a widely respected figure across the game. His line umpires on the day will be Monaghan's Martin McNally and David Coldrick of Meath, with McNally also set to serve as the standby referee. What kits will be worn? Kerry are set to wear their alternative blue kit in order to avoid a colour clash in this year's All-Ireland football final. Common sense seemed to be ignored for Donegal's semi-final triumph over Meath when both teams lined out in their traditional green and yellow colours. It is the referee's call whether a colour clash is significant enough that one or both of the teams is compelled to wear one of their alternative strips. Ultimately, Paul Faloon did not deem that a necessary step to take. And in fairness many viewers expressed that they had little to no issue distinguishing Donegal players from Kerry counterparts. But it was a problem for some portions of the TV as well as Croke Park audience.

M's hope to have Josh Naylor in lineup Friday vs. Angels
July 25 - All things considered, the Seattle Mariners probably couldn't have asked for a better start to their seven-game road trip leading into the trade deadline. They will look to maintain the momentum when they face the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in Anaheim, Calif., in the second contest of a four-game series. Shortly before the Mariners took the field for an eventual 4-2 victory over the Angels on Thursday, it was announced that Seattle, in desperate need of offensive firepower, obtained first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks for a pair of pitching prospects. Naylor was a 2024 All-Star when he produced 31 homers and 108 RBIs for the Cleveland Guardians. This year, the pending free agent batted .292 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 93 games for Arizona. The Mariners followed that up by clubbing three home runs in the win versus Los Angeles, including the 15th by center fielder Julio Rodriguez to go along with his 20th stolen base. That put Rodriguez in the record books as the first player in major league history to hit 15 homers and steal 20 bases in each of his first four seasons. Seattle left fielder Randy Arozarena continued his hot hitting with a two-run homer that proved to be the game-winner. It was his 11th home run since June 30, matching Arizona's Eugenio Suarez for the most in the majors during that span. "Great way to come back and get this road trip started," Seattle manager Dan Wilson said. "Just a great job all around tonight. Obviously, coming on the heels of the news prior to the game of getting Josh Naylor, it's exciting." Naylor is expected to be in uniform on Friday night. "It's a huge acquisition," Wilson said. "Looking forward to getting him in here and getting in here quickly. Josh had a huge series against us when we were there. I think all of us are really excited to get to know him and welcome him into the Mariner uniform." Seattle was swept in a three-game series by the Diamondbacks from June 9-11 in Phoenix with Naylor going 8-for-12, including a walk-off grand slam, while driving in six runs and scoring three times. "We are thrilled to add Josh as we make a push for the postseason," Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said. "Josh's ability to hit for both average and power is unique, and we are excited to not have to face him anymore." Seattle, second in the American League West, moved to within five games of the first-place Houston Astros with the Thursday win and also jumped a half-game ahead of the Boston Red Sox into the second wild-card spot. Wilson will give the ball to All-Star Bryan Woo (8-5, 2.91 ERA) on Friday. The right-hander, who is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in six career starts against the Angels, is coming off a loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday. Woo gave up five runs (four earned) on six hits in six innings. Right-hander Jose Soriano (7-7, 3.38 ERA) will get the start for the Angels, who have lost four in a row. Soriano is 2-0 with a 2.75 ERA in three starts against the Mariners last season. Including five previous relief outings, he has a career 2-0 mark with a 2.70 ERA vs. Seattle. Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with a double, three walks and a run on Thursday for the Angels, who opened a 13-game homestand. Los Angeles loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against Seattle closer Andres Munoz, but Nolan Schanuel, who had two hits and an RBI, lined out to Arozarena to end the game. The Angels fell 5 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot and 11 games behind the Astros with the defeat, but interim manager Ray Montgomery took exception when a reporter suggested his team is nearly out of the postseason race. "When you have 60 games left, I don't think you're running out of time," Montgomery said. "I do think there's an atmosphere that these games matter maybe a little more than prior. But, at the same time, you have to keep it in perspective. ... "There's still a long ways to go in the season. I like the atmosphere and I like the way the guys responded. We just couldn't come up with the hit when we needed it." --Field Level Media
