Other games selected for TV coverage are Armagh v Galway on Saturday, 6 February, Galway v Cork on Saturday, 20 February, and Waterford v Kerry on Saturday, 27 February.
Rounds 6 and 7 TV picks will be made following round 5.
The two relegated sides, Dublin and Kildare, have home fixtures against Louth and Mayo respectively as they begin life in Division 2 on Sunday, 24 January.
The top two teams in Divisions 1, 2, and 3 qualify for their respective finals, while there are semi-finals scheduled for Division 4 on Sunday, 21 March.
The finals will be played over the weekend of 3-4 April. For the Division 1, 2, and 3 finals, the county that finishes top of the table will have home advantage. The same will apply for Division 4, but if that team is beaten in a semi-final, it will transfer to the finalist with the highest league position.
