The captain and vice-captain of the Roscommon senior footballers for 2026 have been confirmed.

Diarmuid Murtagh (St. Faithleach's) will be team captain, while Dylan Ruane (Michael Glaveys) is vice-captain.

Last season, Murtagh became Roscommon's all-time top scorer, while Ruane has been one of Roscommon's most consistent performers in recent seasons.
