Everything you need to know is right here.
We have all of the times, dates, venues, and the full TV schedule for this weekend’s GAA bonanza, as a plethora of knockout games are set to be played.
If the football championship has been considered a slow burner, it has burst into flames last weekend, and is set to melt the place starting on Saturday.
A rejuvenated Cork are playing Roscommon at Pairc Ui Chaoimh, followed by Kildare against Monaghan in a game that’s too close to call.
Then the evening comes to a close with an Ulster showdown between Tyrone and Donegal, two bitter rivals who seem to clash every year.
Sunday saves the best for last as one of Mayo or Galway will exit the 2023 Championship, despite both teams being strong contenders as favourites.
Incredibly, despite their strong start to the season, neither side could top the group and now they have to go head to head in a game that will really rubber stamp the arrival of the championship.
We haven’t even mentioned the Tailteann Cup that sees Down play Laois, and Meath take on Antrim, for an opportunity to get into the final.
The hurling is equally as exciting with Galway looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Kilkenny with a win over Tipperary.
Clare are in a similar situation after their heartbreaking loss to Limerick, so they will want to make a statement when they play Dublin on Saturday.
