KINGDOM 'COM TO START WITH

FAMILIAR FOES Kerry will face Roscommon once more

- BY PADDY TIERNEY

ALL-IRELAND champions Kerry will begin their 2026 Division One campaign with a home fixture against Roscommon at Fitzgerald Stadium on January 25.

The Kingdom, who are also the defending League champions, have home games against Galway, Monaghan and Mayo next season.

Their away schedule starts with a trip to Donegal, in what will be a repeat of July's All-Ireland decider, and ends with a visit to Armagh in round seven.

Kerry's round four clash with Dublin is set to be a standalone fixture with three other doubleheaders pencilled in for Croke Park during the League while Connacht rivals Galway and Mayo meet in Pearse Stadium on the opening weekend.

With Navan's Páirc Tailteann closed for redevelopment work, Meath will play their three 'home' games at Croker.
