The 2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) was the 140th edition of the Gaelic Athletic Association's main inter-county Gaelic football tournament. Thirty-one of the thirty-two Irish counties took part, with Kilkenny being the exception. London and New York completed the lineup by entering the Connacht SFC.

Mayo beat Kerry by 1-20 to 1-17 in the final to become All-Ireland football champions for the first time since 1951, bridging a 75-year gap. Kerry had been the defending champions. The bookmakers' favourites had been Kerry and Donegal, with Tyrone, Galway, Dublin and Armagh also considered contenders.

Format

At the GAA's Annual Congress in Donegal in 2025, delegates approved Motion 19 to revise the Championship structure from 2026 onwards. The championship features 16 teams:

• The four provincial champions
• The four beaten provincial finalists
• The 2025 Tailteann Cup winner (Kildare)
• The seven next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2026 National Football League
  • Position is based on standings after promotion and relegation are applied and after finals are played; therefore, the top two teams in Division 2 outrank the bottom two teams in Division 1; if the 2nd-placed team in Division 2 wins the final, they are ranked above the first-placed finisher who lost the final.

The round-robin stage is scrapped under the new format, moving to a modified double-elimination tournament.

Provincial champions and runners-up are seeded in the draw for Round 1 of the knockout stage and given home-field advantage. The sixteen games are played over two weekends: the Munster and Connacht finalists on the first weekend, while the Ulster and Leinster finalists' ties are on the second weekend.

In Round 1 the eight winners move into Round 2A, while the eight losers enter Round 2B. The winners of the four Round 2A ties advance directly to the quarter-finals. The four Round 2A losers meet the four Round 2B winners in Round 3 to decide the remaining quarter-finalists. Round 2B and Round 3 losers are eliminated.

In Round 2 and Round 3, the team picked first plays at home; a re-draw or fixture swap occurs if a selected tie is a rematch of a provincial final or Round 1 match-up.

The draw for the early stages of the competition took place on 27 November 2025.

All throw-in times are UTC+1 (Irish Standard Time or British Summer Time), except where indicated.

Teams

Thirty-three counties compete in the All-Ireland Championship: every Irish county except Kilkenny. This number is augmented by London and New York, both of whom compete in the Connacht Championship, bringing the total there to seven teams. Eleven teams compete in the Leinster Championship, six in Munster and nine in Ulster.

All Ireland series

Team allocation and draw

• 

  A map showing the results of each county in the 2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

  Sixteen teams qualify for the All-Ireland Championship, as follows:
  •    8 provincial finalists; these are the seeded teams in the draw
  •    1 winner of the 2025 Tailteann Cup
  •    7 highest ranking teams (not otherwise qualified) in the 2026 National Football League (NFL). Promoted teams are ranked above teams relegated from the next highest division, with league final champions ranked higher regardless of round-robin table position. If the 2025 Tailteann Cup winner were a provincial finalist or qualified via league position, their automatic berth would transfer to the 8th-highest ranking NFL team.
•    The remaining 17 teams play in the 2026 Tailteann Cup

Referees panel

The referees panel was reduced from 24 to 20 for the 2026 championship. David Coldrick (Meath) and Fergal Kelly (Longford) were both set to complete their ultimate season on the panel, while Joe McQuillan (Cavan) and Derek O’Mahoney (Tipperary) were excluded permanently due to their advanced age (both men had turned 50).

James Molloy (Galway) and David Murnane (Cork) were both absent from this panel, having been included in 2025.

Notable events and records

• The Ulster quarter final between Donegal and Down was the first Ulster SFC game at O'Donnell Park, Letterkenny since 1951.
• Galway reached an eleventh Connacht final in a row, equalling their records of 1933–43 and 1956–66.
• Westmeath reached their first Leinster SFC final since 2016 and won their first Leinster title since 2004.
• Dublin lost a Leinster final for the first time since 2001.
• It was the first Ulster final between Armagh and Monaghan since 1938.
• Armagh won their first Ulster title since 2008.
• In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Westmeath won five championship games in the same season for the first time ever, this was accomplished with an extra-time victory over Cavan on Saturday 30 May.
• In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Louth defeated Dublin in the Championship for the first time since 1973.
• In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Dublin concede four goals in a single championship match since 2010.
• In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Monaghan had a valid point scored by Bobby McCaul waved wide by an umpire in a one-point defeat by eventual All-Ireland winner Mayo.
• Round 2A saw the first championship meeting of Louth and Armagh.
• Roscommon were Connacht champions but were knocked out in Round 2B, equivalent to 13th–16th place; this is the worst finish by a provincial champion since the 16-team All-Ireland series was introduced in 2023 (Prior to 2023, provincial champions would automatically reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals.) In 2023, Connacht champions Galway were eliminated in the preliminary quarter-finals (9th–12th place); the same result was achieved by Leinster champions Louth in 2025.
• In 2026, Ulster champions Armagh and Leinster champions Westmeath were knocked out in Round 3 (9th–12th place), meaning only 1 provincial champion (Kerry) played in the last eight.
• Cork failed to reach the All-Ireland semi-finals for the 14th year in a row, equalling the worst streak in their history. (Their previous worst was 1929–1942, fourteen championships.)
• Louth reached the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time since 1957.
• Mayo's victory in the All-Ireland marked the first time a Connacht team had won the championship since Galway in 2001.
• Mayo won the All-Ireland for the first time since 1951, ending a 75-year drought and an eleven-final losing streak. This is the longest gap between consecutive titles by a county, with the second-longest being Louth's 45-year gap between 1912 and 1957.
