Carlow v Laois - Dr Cullen Park, 3.45pm (RTÉ)In the hurling championship, Carlow take on Laois in a contest that has traditionally been tight between the two sides.
RTÉ will broadcast the game live from 3.45pm, with both counties looking to build momentum in the Joe McDonagh and wider championship structure.
Dublin v Galway - Croke Park, 6pm (RTÉ)One of the standout ties of the weekend sees Dublin meet Galway at Croke Park at 6pm.
This is a rivalry that has grown significantly in the modern era, with both sides trading victories in recent seasons and little to separate them on championship days.
Dublin will look to make home advantage count in a fixture that has often produced tight encounters, while Galway arrive knowing that a win in Dublin has historically been a difficult task.
With both counties pushing for silverware in the current championship cycle, this is one of the key early summer tests.
Longford v Down - 6pm (GAA+)At the same time, Longford host Down in football action, with GAA+ providing live coverage.
Both sides will view this as an important opportunity to progress, with margins expected to be tight in what is shaping up as a competitive contest.
Sunday fixtures Mayo v Dublin - Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, 1pm (TG4)One of the standout ties of the opening round sees All-Ireland champions Dublin begin their title defence away to Mayo in MacHale Park.
Dublin come into the championship chasing back-to-back All-Ireland titles after securing yet another Leinster crown, although they were pushed hard in their provincial final against Kildare.
Mayo, meanwhile, arrive after a Connacht final defeat to rivals Galway and will be eager to respond on home soil.
There is history between the sides, with Dublin having dominated recent championship meetings, but Mayo’s strong home support in MacHale Park often makes this a far more competitive fixture than form tables suggest.
Both teams have made adjustments to their starting line-ups, with Mayo introducing changes in key positions including goalkeeper, while Dublin also rotate their pack with several returning starters.
With Dublin aiming to continue their dominance and Mayo looking to reassert themselves in the championship, this remains one of the most intriguing fixtures of the weekend.
Cork v Limerick - Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 2pm (RTÉ)
The standout fixture of Sunday’s schedule sees Cork and Limerick renew one of the fiercest rivalries in modern hurling at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
These counties have dominated the Munster landscape in recent years, sharing provincial titles and producing several high-intensity championship meetings.
Their most recent clashes have gone right to the wire, including extra-time and penalty shootouts in previous seasons, underlining just how little separates the sides at their peak.
Cork will be eager to build on recent progress in the province, while Limerick arrive with a reputation as one of the most dominant teams of the modern era.
With both sides accustomed to knockout pressure, another classic encounter feels entirely possible.
What’s at stake?As the championship structure tightens, every result carries increasing significance.
Provincial progress remains the immediate target for most, but the knock-on effect of these fixtures will shape the All-Ireland race in the weeks ahead.
With several heavyweight clashes across both football and hurling, this weekend marks another important step in the road to the summer’s decisive stages.
