The draws for the 2026 provincial football championships will be streamed live on the GAA's social channels on Thursday evening at 7pm. 

The live broadcast from Croke Park is the beginning of what the association says will be a "new annual tradition". In recent years, the draws for Connacht, Munster, Leinster and Ulster have been made on RTÉ Radio 1. 

There is added interest in this year's Leinster championship draw with Dublin not being the title holders for the first time in a decade and a half, and the Munster draw due to the controversy surrounding plans to introduce a league-based seeding system.

Thursday's event will feature appearances from members of the 2025 provincial championship-winning teams - Galway, Kerry, Donegal, and Louth. There will also be studio analysis and immediate reaction as the provincial paths are revealed.
