Tyrone will play Kerry in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland SFC in Croke Park on Saturday in a double-header which will also see Armagh take on Monaghan in an Ulster derby at Headquarters.

It will be the first Championship meeting between the sides since the 2021 All-Ireland semi-final, which the Red Hands won after the fixture had been delayed due to a Covid outbreak in the Tyrone squad before going onto defeat Mayo in the All-Ireland final. 

Tyrone defeated Donegal in Ballbofey on Saturday night to book their place in the last eight, a result which saw Aidan O'Rourke step down as Donegal manager.

Armagh face an Ulster derby against Monaghan after the Farneymen edged out Kildare after a thrilling finish in Tullamore on Saturday.

After Mayo's one-point win over Galway in Salthill on Sunday afternoon, the Westerners have been handed a draw against Leinster champions Dublin. Mayo have lost three All-Ireland finals against the Dubs in the last 10 years, but did defeat them in the 2021 All-Ireland semi-final. Mayo's meeting with Dublin will be the second match of a double header on Sunday at Croke Park.

Ulster champions Derry have been drawn against Cork in the early match on Sunday. The meeting is a repeat of the 1993 All-Ireland final, a match which brought the Oak Leafs their first and only All-Ireland success.
