After a riveting, revitalised championship summer, the All-Ireland football final is upon us at last.

Whatever the allegiance, just about every person in GAA HQ will be decked out in green and yellow as Jack O'Connor and Jim McGuinness' sides fight it out for Sam Maguire.

Tickets are like gold dust but, even if you are confined to the couch, both RTÉ and GAA have some star-studded punditry line-ups on offer for TV viewers.

Referee Maurice Deegan will also be on hand to deliver pivotal insight into the big calls on the day.

As for the hurling final, the BBC will bring in some of the celebrities in attendance at Croker on Sunday to comment on the occasion, while some surprises could still be in store - like that afforded for Tipperary manager Liam Cahill last Sunday

In terms of radio, RTÉ will cover the game in English on Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1, with Irish commentary on Raidio na Gaeltachta.

The culmination of the men's championship summer comes with The Sunday Game, on RTÉ 2 from 9:30pm.

Host Jacqui Hurley will be joined by pundits Ciarán Whelan, Enda McGinley, Paul Flynn, Cora Staunton, Tomás Ó Sé and Mark McHugh to reflect on an epic championship summer, and pick the Sunday Game team of the year.

No matter how you take it in, we're set for an absolute cracker in Sunday's All-Ireland football final in Croke Park.
