Donegal will travel to Kerry in the opening round of this year’s All-Ireland series in a mouth-watering repeat of last year’s final.
The Kingdom ran out comprehensive 1-26 to 0-19 winners in the 2025 Croke Park decider, but Donegal exacted a measure of revenge with an emphatic 3-20 to 2-10 victory in this year’s Division One final.
As Munster finalists, Kerry have home advantage, with Donegal forced to start their campaign on the road after being knocked out of the Ulster quarter-finals by Down.
Armagh, who hammered Down by 28 points on Sunday to reach the Ulster final, will host provincial rivals Derry in the opening round, while Tyrone will travel to Connacht finalists Roscommon.
Dublin will host Louth in a repeat of the Dubs’ Leinster semi-final win on Saturday night, with Westmeath – who will face Dublin in the provincial decider – hosting Cavan, whose All-Ireland place was confirmed by Down’s defeat on Sunday.
Monaghan, who will face Armagh in the Ulster final after a superb comeback win over Derry on Saturday, will host Mayo.
Munster finalists Cork will entertain Meath while Kildare will travel west to take on Connacht finalists Galway.
