\nTG4 has recorded five consecutive years of audience share growth, marking its strongest sustained performance in 16 years, driven by live sport, music and factual programming.
\n 
\nAccording to figures from TAM Ireland, TG4 achieved an average audience share of 2.3% in 2025, reaching 77.2% of the Irish TV population, over the course of 2025.
\n <\/p>\n

\u201cFive years of consecutive growth is a success story for TG4, reflecting our impact and unique remit as an Irish language media provider. These results reflect the strength of our content, continued popularity of live sport and live events and our growing connection with audiences across platforms as we broaden our platform neutral approach for content distribution to reflect how our audiences now consume content.\u201d<\/em> – Deirdre N\u00ed Choist\u00edn, Ard-Sti\u00farth\u00f3ir TG4<\/strong>

Sport and Music Lead the Way<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Live sport remained at the core of TG4\u2019s successful performance. The Allianz League Football Final between Kerry and Mayo (30th of March 2025) was the channel\u2019s most-watched programme of last year, attracting an average audience of 221,900 viewers. <\/p>\n

Sport dominated TG4\u2019s top 10 linear programmes, with the Allianz Leagues, Club Championship, Rugba\u00ed Beo (URC) and Peil na mBan all delivering strong audiences throughout 2025. <\/p>\n

A large audience tuned in to the latest chapter of the Munster rivalry in Round 2 of the Allianz Hurling League from SuperValu P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Chaoimh. TG4 set a new platform record as the Cork v Limerick clash on 1 February 2025 became the most-streamed live programme ever on the TG4 Player, attracting 172,000 streams. <\/p>\n

TG4\u2019s commitment to platform neutral sports programming was highlighted by Super Sunday on 23 March 2025, when every Division 1 and 2 Allianz League game was broadcast on TG4 or streamed on YouTube\/TG4 Player. On that day alone 9 matches were shown (2 on linear, 6 on YouTube and 1 on the TG4 Player.) The Sp\u00f3rt TG4 YouTube channel recorded 320,000 views on that day across the 6 matches. In 2025 almost half of viewers on the Sp\u00f3rt TG4 YouTube channel were under the age of 35 highlighting TG4\u2019s commitment to innovate and serve young audiences where they are.

\nBeyond sport, TG4 continued to perform strongly across entertainment and factual programming. Fleadh 25 recorded its most successful night to date of Fleadh Cheoil na h\u00c9ireann coverage (Friday the 8th of August 2025), while new series of programmes such as Hector OZ\/NZ, Opry le Daniel, Laochra Gael and Gl\u00f3r T\u00edre remained among the channel\u2019s most-watched titles. New programming, including \u00d3 Mhuir go T\u00edr, Scoil Cheoil an Earraigh and Beo \u00f3n Electric Picnic also performed well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nTG4\u2019s digital platforms saw significant growth in 2025. TG4 Player (Seinnteoir TG4) streams increased by 28%. <\/p>\n

Live sport was a key driver of TG4 Player growth while Ros na R\u00fan topped Video On Demand content (VOD) along with Laochra Gael and CR\u00c1. Series two of CR\u00c1 will begin filming very shortly in Co. Donegal. <\/p>\n

International viewing along with C\u00fala4 Player streams rose by 22% in 2025. Super Simple Amhr\u00e1in topped viewing on the C\u00fala4 Player, with children\u2019s news service Nuacht C\u00fala4 ranking second. <\/p>\n

Nolla\u00ed was the most-watched original Irish-language film for young audiences on TG4 and C\u00fala4 during the Christmas season. The project marks a significant milestone for Irish-language animation, co-commissioned by TG4, BBC Northern Ireland and S4C. It was produced through a dynamic tri-nation partnership supported by Northern Ireland Screen\u2019s Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF), Screen Fund and Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n. <\/p>\n
