TYRONE will travel to face Kieran McGeeney’s Armagh in the preliminary round of the 2026 Ulster Championship.
In tonight’s provincial draw staged at Croke Park, Tyrone were pitted against the Orchard County in a preliminary round encounter, with Fermanagh awaiting the victors in the first-round proper.
Armagh were first out of the pot so the mouth-watering clash is destined to take place at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds. The two teams met earlier this year in an absorbing provincial semi-final with Armagh, who were then defending All-Ireland champions, prevailing by a single point at Clones.
The full draw is as follows:
Preliminary round:
Armagh v Tyrone
Quarter-finals
Derry v Antrim
Monaghan v Cavan
Donegal v Down
Fermanagh v Armagh/Tyrone
Semi-finals
Derry/Antrim v Monaghan/Cavan
Donegal/Down vArmagh/Tyrone/Fermanagh
