\nTG4 is celebrating a strong performance for its Fleadh Cheoil 2026 coverage, with large audiences tuning in across television, TG4 Player, YouTube and social media.<\/p>\n

As proud Official Media Partner of Fleadh Cheoil, TG4 joined forces with Comhaltas to bring the spirit, energy and sounds of the first ever Fleadh Cheoil na h\u00c9ireann in Belfast to audiences at home and around the world.
\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Proinsias N\u00ed Ghr\u00e1inne, Commissioning Editor at TG4<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are immensely proud of TG4\u2019s coverage from Fleadh Cheoil na h\u00c9ireann in Belfast. As Official Media Partner, TG4 delivered four nights of live shows and competition coverage. We brought audiences even closer to the music, performers and atmosphere through TG4, The TG4 Player, Trad TG4 on YouTube and through our social media channels. It was a huge collective effort. My thanks go to our production partners, Power Pictures and Telegael, for delivering the coverage on Fleadh26 agus Fleadh26 : Na Com\u00f3rtais, and to Comhaltas Ceolt\u00f3ir\u00ed \u00c9ireann, Belfast City Council, the Fleadh Executive Committee and everyone who made the week in Belfast so special especially the performers, musicians and competitors who were at the heart of the Fleadh Cheoil.”<\/em>
\n <\/p>\n

1.6 million visitors were in Belfast for Fleadh Cheoil na h\u00c9ireann and TG4 has now created a rich archive of the week\u2019s music, performances and atmosphere for millions more to enjoy now and into the future. We very much look forward to returning to Belfast next year for Fleadh27<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
