The GAA has released details of the draws for Round 2A and 2B of the 2026 GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship.
The draws will take place on Tuesday, June 2nd, on RTÉ Radio 1 as part of Morning Ireland, after the news, at 8.30 a.m..
The Round 2A draw will involve the eight winners in Round One, who will be drawn to play against each other, with the first team drawn having home venue.
The teams in Round 2A will include Armagh, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Louth, Mayo, Tyrone and Westmeath.
The Round 2B draw will involve the eight losers in Round One, who will be drawn to play against each other, with the first team drawn having home advantage.
The teams include Cavan, Derry, Dublin, Kerry, Kildare, Meath, Monaghan and Roscommon.
Both draws will be subject to the avoidance of repeat provincial final pairings.
The Round 2A and 2B fixtures will be played on the weekend of June 13th/14th.
Meanwhile, the Roscommon senior hurlers have earned a stay of execution in the Christy Ring Cup following New York's Nickey Rackard Cup success on Saturday.
Roscommon finished bottom of the table after the group games of the Christy Ring Cup, but New York's success against Tyrone means that Brian Hanley's side will remain in the third tier of championship hurling for 2027.
Completing a good weekend for Roscommon hurling, Saturday's Christy Ring Cup final between Derry and Kerry in Croke Park was refereed by Oran native Matthew Farrell.
