What TV channel and time is Cork v Limerick on tonight in the Munster Hurling Championship?

Limerick begin the defence of their All-Ireland crown when they face Cork this weekend.

The Treaty men picked up their first win of 2021 when beating Cork by 0-33 to 2-19 in the league early last month, but the Rebels won the last Munster Championship clash between the sides by seven points back in 2019.
