Live Sport

We are always match-ready at the skeff.

Catch the game on one of our 8 HD screens!

If it is on TV, then your sporting event will be available at The Skeff! With 8 screens we are usually showing more than one sporting event at a time.

So if you enjoy tracking the progress of your premiership team, keeping up with the Champions League and Euro Qualifiers, like your Six Nations and Champions Cup Rugby, then The Skeff is your place to be.

We give preference to local Galway and Irish international men’s and women’s games, but we have 8 screens in the Skeff so we can show an array of sports at the same time.
