Donegal will face Kerry away in the first round of this year's All-Ireland series, marking a highly anticipated rematch of last year's final encounter.
In the 2025 Croke Park final, Kerry secured a decisive win with a scoreline of 1-26 to 0-19. However, Donegal responded strongly by claiming the Division One title this year, defeating Kerry 3-20 to 2-10.
As finalists from Munster, Kerry will benefit from home advantage in this upcoming fixture. Conversely, Donegal must begin their championship campaign on the road following their elimination from the Ulster quarter-finals by Down.
