Watch: GAA Preview – All-Ireland quarter-final weekend could be the highlight of the summer
Each game has the potential to be a thriller, but Armagh v Kerry on Sunday attracts the biggest spotlight with a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final.
The action begins with Donegal facing Monaghan, with Jim McGuinness's men dealing with a tight six-day turnaround, before Tyrone and Dublin renew old rivalries on Saturday evening.
Meath have already taken the scalps of Kerry and Dublin this year and have, somewhat surprisingly, flown under the radar into the quarter-finals, but they face another difficult test against Galway in the opening game on Sunday.
Conor McKeon and Michael Verney preview all the action.
