Dates and throw-in times confirmed for explosive All-Ireland football ...

Tyrone have had the upper hand on Kerry in Croke Park on the last four occasions including the Covid-delayed semi-final of two years ago. In the other last four game that season, Mayo defeated Dublin in an epic encounter after extra-time.

Cork and Derry drew their final round Division 2 game in Páirc Ui Chaoimh back in March, although Derry had already earned promotion to Division 1 at that stage. Armagh beat Monaghan in their opening Division 1 game in January but were relegated having finished the campaign a point behind Vinny Corey’s side.

Because Kerry could only face Monaghan or Tyrone having already faced Cork and Mayo in their All-Ireland SFC Group 1, they were pre-drawn from bowl one before the other three table-toppers. Cork and Mayo were then added to bowl two with the remainder of the draw taking place.

Cork's Luke Fahy is tackled by Dylan Ruane of Roscommon at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The Rebels will meet Derry in Championship for the first time since the final thirty years ago.

All four games have been slated for Croke Park. The Central Competitions Control Committee confirmed on Monday afternoon that Kerry vs Tyrone will take place on Saturday, July 1st with throw-in set for 3.45pm, followed by the meeting of Armagh and Monaghan later that evening at 6pm.

This will be Kerry’s first championship game on a Saturday (barring replays) since 2010 quarter final loss to Down and both games on Saturday will be streamed on GAAGO, the service’s last two All-Ireland championship fixtures this year.

Then on Sunday - live on RTÉ - Derry will take on Cork from 1.45pm before Dublin face Mayo at 4pm.
