LAST UPDATE | 26 Nov 2019

2019 ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Dublin and beaten finalists Kerry will open the 2020 Allianz Football League on a high, as the first round throws up some mouth-watering clashes. 

The GAA today released their full fixture list for the 2020 football and hurling leagues — and Croke Park will play host to a repeat of September’s All-Ireland final on Saturday, 25 January, as the two sides begin their campaign with a bang.

Also under Saturday Night Lights on the same day, at the same time [throw-in 7.15pm], reigning league champions Mayo open their title defence against Donegal in Ballybofey.

Elsewhere in Division 1 on the Sunday, Tyrone and recently-promoted Meath go head-to-head, while Galway and Monaghan face off in Salthill.

That same weekend, the Allianz Hurling League will also kick off with fireworks as the 2019 All-Ireland and league champions do battle. Tipperary welcome Limerick to Thurles on the Saturday evening [throw-in 5.15pm].

Eddie Brennan’s Laois and Davy Fitz’s Wexford also face off that day, while Galway and Westmeath, and Cork and Waterford, go head-to-head on the Sunday in Group A. Group B sees the meetings of Clare and Carlow, and Kilkenny and Dublin on day one.
