The 2026 Allianz National League fixtures have been confirmed for Carlow’s football and hurling teams.
Joe Murphy’s footballers start with an away game against Antrim but have the advantage of four home games across their league campaign and if they can get enough points on the board early on, home ties against London and Leitrim in the final two rounds of games could offer the potential of a promotion push.
Pat Bennett’s hurlers will welcome Down to Netwatch Cullen Park in the opening round and have further home ties against Clare and Dublin. On the road, Carlow will travel to Wexford, Antrim and Kildare.
For supporters of both teams, there are no clashes of games so there will be the opportunity to attend all games.
