Looking Forward To 2026

Pádraic Joyce is staying on with Galway for another 3 years. Always a dangerous opponent. It was a surprise for many that they fell at the quarter final stage, along with Armagh and Dublin.
Donegal of course were the only favourites to get through the quarter finals weekend. The 4 quarter final favourites will probably be the leading favourites again going into 2026.

A surprise to many that they lost to Meath ? . Eh not really Galway are overated . I wouldn't bank on the 4 quarter final favourites to be the same in 2026 either . Same as I wouldn't bank on Kerry to win sam again in 2026 .

No surprise Kieran McGeeney is staying on with Armagh.
Supposedly the provincial championship draws will be later this year. They were always way too early anyway and all focus is on the club championships.

Any date promised?
Night of All Star presentations perhaps?

Haven't heard. Whether the league seeding controversy will have any influence as well, we'll see. The All Ireland group stage draw is by the GAA own tv platform. Made available on YouTube. Maybe they'll opt for same.
