The stage is set for the biggest game in the GAA football calendar, and RTÉ has confirmed its pundit line-up as Kerry and Donegal prepare to battle it out for Sam Maguire in Sunday's All-Ireland football final.

It's a heavyweight showdown with plenty on the line as Jack O'Connor's Kerry are gunning for a record-extending 39th title, while Jim McGuinness's Donegal are hoping to recreate the magic of 2012 and lift only the county's third All-Ireland crown.

Kerry's clinical semi-final win over Tyrone and Donegal's demolition of Meath have set up a mouth-watering final, and fans watching from home will have a full day of expert analysis, live commentary and post-match reaction across RTÉ.
