There are plenty of intriguing games to kick-off the Allianz League this year as Connacht rivals Mayo and Galway square off in Castlebar, while Kerry travel up to Ballybofey to face Donegal in Division 1.

Two Ulster counties also square-off in Division 1 as Monaghan and Armagh go head-to-head in Castleblayney.

In a change to this year's format, as well as the four provincial champions and beaten provincial finalists progressing to the championship round, the seven next-ranked teams will be based on their final position in the 2023 National Football League.

Position is based on standing after promotion and relegation are applied; therefore, the top two teams in Division 2 outrank the bottom two teams in Division 1.

With that out of the way, here is a roundup of the fixtures and where you can watch them.
