When is the All-Ireland Football quarter-final draw and how can I watch it?
And then there were eight...
The All-Ireland Football Quarter-Final draw takes place on Monday as the remaining eight teams learn their opponents in what is expected to be a mammoth weekend of football.
The weekend just gone provided plenty of drama, but the much-favoured Galway, Donegal, Dublin, and Kerry all progressed.
It now means that we are in for a mouth-watering final eight with some of the 'big dogs' showing plenty of mixed form throughout the 2025 season.
Here is everything you need to know about the draw.
The draw takes place at 8.35 am.
Morning Ireland will host the draw but you can also tune into live coverage on RTE News Channel and the RTE Player.
The Group winners are as follows: Meath, Monaghan, Tyrone, Armagh
Unseeded sides: Dublin, Kerry, Donegal, Galway
The GAA wants to avoid repeated fixtures of provincial finals or round one of the All-Ireland series where possible, so we know one fixture for certain: Kerry v Armagh.
Next weekend! Once the draw is made and the powers that be meet and discuss, we should have all the details tomorrow afternoon .
It has been an absolutely wild All-Ireland series thus far. Donegal and Galway were many people's favourites coming into 2025 but the Tribesmen have been far from impressive in Championship while Donegal were in danger of finishing third in their group but really impressed against Louth on Sunday.
Dublin can't be written off but recent performances won't have scared the top teams while Kerry are in the exact same boat.
The dark horses have been a pleasant surprise this summer, Meath were excellent against Kerry while Monaghan have been shooting lights out and both Armagh and Tyrone certainly look like the most solid outfits up to this point.

Tomás Ó Sé: Kerry's support cast need to step up for 'defining' clash with Armagh
While the full draw for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals is yet to take place, there's every chance the meeting of Kerry and Armagh next weekend will be top billing. The draw will take place live on Monday morning on RTÉ Radio 1 with the four preliminary quarter-final winners – Dublin, Kerry, Galway and Donegal – up against the winners of the four round-robin groups, Armagh, Monaghan, Tyrone and Meath. As Armagh have three possible repeat pairings, they are automatically matched with the Kingdom, a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final where Kieran McGeeney's men emerged victorious en route to Sam Maguire glory. The Orchard County failed to add provincial silverware earlier this summer, but have at times looked in top form in the championship. Kerry, by contrast, laboured to victory over Cork and fell to a heavy defeat to Meath in the All-Ireland series before putting Cavan to the sword in their preliminary quarter-final as manager Jack O'Connor continues to battle an injury list, with Diarmuid O'Connor forced off and Mike Breen ruled out before throw-in. Speaking on The Sunday Game, former Kerry player and five-time All-Ireland winner Tomás Ó Sé says the win over Cavan was a "marked improvement" from a Kingdom perspective, led by the 3-07 haul of talisman David Clifford. Tomás Ó Sé expects the Armagh quarter-final to be Kerry's defining game of the championship, and they will have no fear, while adding that he could make an argument for six of the eight teams to win the All-Ireland. #TheSundayGame — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 22, 2025 "David Clifford has been absolutely outstanding all season long and he gave a performance yesterday that was brilliant," he said. "The first ball he got, he made a statement. He got the ball in the corner, took on his man and buried the ball to the back of the net." Looking ahead to next weekend's quarter-final, Ó Sé believes the game will offer a true litmus test for O'Connor's side. "It's the defining game of the season," he said. "They won't fear it. Kerry are more than capable of showing up on the day, but they will have to offer more in scoring than David Clifford. "Kerry will need a full team back. Diarmuid O'Connor is a huge loss in the middle of the park and Paul Geaney is possibly gone as well, their second highest scorer. "Everybody is saying that Armagh, even though they didn't win Ulster, have been the team of the season so far. "It's going to be a cracker of a game."

Shane Walsh 'nasty' shoulder injury, as Kerry, Armagh quarterfinal confirmed
Pádraic Joyce says Shane Walsh sustained a 'nasty looking' shoulder injury in today's Pairc Esler victory over Down, which sent Galway into next weekend's All-Ireland quarter-finals. With all four favourites winning their preliminary quarter-finals over the weekend, it means that Kerry and Armagh will go head to head in a repeat of last year's semi-final epic, which Armagh won on their way to the All-Ireland. That's because Armagh can't play any of the other preliminary round winners - Donegal, Galway and Dublin - as they've met them already in the provincial final or All-Ireland group stages. The draw takes place this morning, ive on RTE Radio, with Joyce's men set to play Monaghan, Meath or Tyrone. Whoever it is, Joyce will be hoping for an extra day's rest after yesterday's 2-26 to 3-21 victory in Newry. Two quarter-finals are set for next Saturday and two for Sunday - and with Galway having gone to Cavan and Newry over the past two weekends, and heading for Croke Park next weekend, it's a hectic schedule. Speaking about Walsh, Joyce said: 'He got a nasty injury. He fell forward and the Down player followed through with the knee on the shoulder so he's a bit of a bother there. 'We left him on for 10 minutes just to see how he got on but he's getting no better so we'll assess him here. We'll go back and see what it is. It looks a nasty injury. 'He was quite sharp after 15 minutes when he got into the game and got the shackles off a bit. He kicked a couple of great twos, kicked the free and kicked the goal.' On next weekend's scheduling, Joyce said: 'I'm not going to ask for anything but you'd be hoping you'd get a break somewhere. 'It would be brilliant if we got a Sunday fixture but again it's not my decision. Whatever's on, we'll show up and play it. 'It's massive. It's huge. But look, we put ourselves in that situation so we're not going to be complaining. We'll get on with it.' The weekend results mean the folllowing for the eight sides. Listed are the counties and who they can play next weekend with the draw due to take place on Monday morning on RTE radio. Kerry: Armagh Armagh: Kerry Dublin: Tyrone, Monaghan or Meath Galway: Tyrone, Monaghan or Meath Tyrone: Dublin or Galway Monaghan: Dublin, Galway or Donegal Donegal: Meath or Monaghan Meath: Dublin, Galway or Donegal.
