The Allianz Football League is back with a bang this weekend with the All-Ireland champions travelling to Donegal and Castleblayney hosting what is certain to be a feisty neighbourly encounter.

Clones is out of action for Monaghan’s Allianz Football League opener on Saturday evening due to a lack of floodlights, which means Castleblayney will host the Division One derby between the Farneymen and Armagh.

For those not able to make it, though, the game will be shown live through the BBC iPlayer and BBC SportNI website.

Dublin will be hoping for a quick return to Division One this season and they start their Division Two campaign against neighbours Kildare (5pm) with TG4 broadcasting live from Croke Park.

Later on Saturday evening, another heavyweight Division One derby clash between Mayo and Galway (7.30pm) is the live offering on RTÉ2.

On Sunday, TG4 will broadcast Donegal’s Division One meeting with Kerry (2pm) in Ballbofey live while Tyrone’s trip to Roscommon (1.30pm) is available to view on the TG4 app and at www.tg4.ie.

In Division Two, the clash of Cork and Meath will be available on the TG4 Sports YouTube channel.
