Plenty of footy and GAA, with some golf, rugby and athletics thrown in for good measure.
Saturday
Hockey World League, Ireland v Uruguay, Sky Sports 2, 12pm
Fresh from a cracking victory over South Africa and a battling performance in defeat to Germany, the Irish ladies’ hockey team take on Uruguay in Valencia.
The Sky Sports coverage starts at midday.
European Tour Golf, Sky Sports 4, 12pm
Day Three of the Lyoness Open from the Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg in Austria. Coverage of Day Four starts at the earlier time of 11.30am on Sunday.
Euro 2016 Qualifier, Ireland v Scotland, RTE 2, Sky Sports 1, 4pm
The big one.
If the Boys in Green are going to be heading to France next summer, then they could really, really do with three points at the Aviva on Saturday.
The clash with England did little to catch the imagination or even raise hopes ahead of a meeting with their neighbours to the north this weekend.
That was little more than a kickaround; this is serious business.
The build-up to the 5pm kick-off starts on RTE 2 and Sky Sports 1 at 4pm.
Come on you Boys in Green.
Euro 2016 Qualifier, Northern Ireland v Romania, Sky Sports 5, 7.30pm
Hopefully you’ll still be in the mood to watch some footy after that and if you are, you can catch some more boys in green, Northern Ireland, taking on Romania on Sky Sports 5.
Coverage starts at 7.30pm.
Top 14 Rugby Final, Clermont Auvergne v Stade Francais, Sky Sports 3, 7pm
Clermont Auvergne lost three Top 14 finals in a row before winning their first title in 2010. On Saturday evening, they’ll be hoping to make it two titles in five years against Stade Francais at the Stade de France in Paris.
Copa America, Uruguay v Jamaica, Setanta Sports, Midnight
Luis Suarez is still suspended from international football, but Uruguay should still have too much for Jamaica in their Copa America Group B clash in Chile.
Sunday
Live Baku European Games 2015, Setanta Sports, 4.55am
Most people wouldn’t be accustomed to setting their alarms for so early on a Sunday morning, but a number of Irish athletes are in action in Baku this weekend.
You should be able to catch them in Setanta Sports’ extensive coverage throughout the day or on the highlights show at 10pm on Sunday night.
The Sunday Game Live, Armagh v Donegal, Galway v Mayo, RTE 2, 1.30pm
Two massive games for Gaelic Football fans to enjoy this Sunday afternoon, with Armagh and Galway looking to take provincial powerhouses Donegal and Mayo down a peg or two.
Joe Brolly is back on live duty after a brief hiatus so expect the usual jousting between himself and Spillane in studio.
Formula One, Bahrain Grand Prix, Sky Sports F1, 1.30pm
Lewis Hamilton will be looking to extend his lead over Nico Rosberg at a track where he beat his teammate by a single second last year.
Euro 2016 Qualifiers, Russia v Austria, Sweden v Montenegro, Sky Sports 5, 4.55pm
Being honest about it, neither clash is one to get carried away with on paper, but during a summer when we’re going to be crying out for football come August, we’ll take whatever we can get.
The Sunday Game, RTE 2, 9.30pm
It’s only been back a few weeks, but it feels like it’s never been away.
Catch the highlights from the live games earlier, as well as from *pauses for breath* both Munster semi-finals from Thurles, Kildare v Laois, Meath v Wicklow and Westmeath v Wexford *exhales.
‘Tis a veritable feast of Gaelic Football lads.
PGA Tour Golf, Sky Sports 4, 11pm
When the prize is big, the cream of the crop will come out to play and the $6 million prize fund at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis is not to be sniffed at.
Copa America, Setanta Sports, Midnight
Round off your weekend with a bit of Colombia v Venezuela from the Copa America.
Hell, you might even see Falcao score a goal for a change.
