Dublin and Kerry to meet on opening night - here are your 2016 National League fixtures

The 2015 All-Ireland finalists have been pitted together in a mouthwatering fixture under the Croke Park lights.

THE 2016 ALLIANZ Football League will get underway with the meeting of great rivals Dublin and Kerry under lights at Croke Park.

The Division 1 showdown, scheduled for Saturday, 30 January, is a repeat of last September’s fiery All-Ireland senior football final clash.

The game will give Kerry the chance to gain revenge over Dublin, who are aiming to win a fourth Allianz League title in a row this year, following their 0-12 to 0-9 All-Ireland final defeat.

Down and Donegal are also scheduled to meet in Division 1 of the Allianz League on the same night, with the game taking place in Páirc Esler, Newry at 7pm.

Cork, beaten Allianz Football League finalists last year, open against Mayo on 31 January, while top tier newcomers Roscommon face Monaghan.

The semi-finals will take place on the weekend of 9-10 April, with the first placed side after seven rounds of the competition playing fourth and second playing third.

The Allianz Football League Division 1 and 2 finals will be played in Croke Park on Sunday, 24 April, the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.

The Centenary of the start of the 1916 Rising will be marked by the GAA with a commemorative event staged between the two finals.

The 2016 Allianz Hurling League, meanwhile, starts two weeks after the football, with Dublin’s Division 1A clash against Tipperary the highest profile game scheduled for the opening night of the competition.

The sides will meet under the lights in Semple Stadium at 7pm on Saturday, 13 February.

Limerick and Wexford also meet in Division IB on opening night, the sides going head-to-head at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick at 7pm.

Galway, beaten All-Ireland finalists in 2015, open their campaign with a home game against Cork, who were the Allianz Hurling League runners-up in 2015.

The quarter-finals, due to be played on the weekend of 2-3 April 2016, will feature the top four teams from Divisions 1A and 1B. The fifth and sixth placed teams in Division 1A will play-off to see who is relegated to Division 1B for 2017.

The Allianz Hurling League Division I final will be played on Sunday, 1 May.
