The sporting calendar slows for no man, woman, season or sport and the draws for the 2024 Provincial Football Championships will be made live on RTÉ Radio 1’s Saturday Sport, presented by Joanne Cantwell and Des Cahill, this Saturday 21 October.

Saturday Sport will be on air from 2.45 pm with the draws taking place at approximately 3.15 pm.

Ulster will be perhaps the most interesting and who would bet against the fates bringing Mickey Harte’s new charges Derry up against the County where he made his name Tyrone?

With the new format of the All Ireland Championship based on Allianz League form but also reserving a place for all counties who make the Leinster Final, the path to those games is more interesting than for many years and whether the draw will open up another opportunity for Sligo, Leitrim or even New York to take a seat at the top table will also be fascinating.

The draws will be carried out by representatives of the respective provincial councils with Bernard Smith, Games Administration Manager, overseeing the process on behalf of the GAA.

Cora Staunton and Enda McGinley will join Des and Joanne in the studio to analyse the draws and set the scene for the 2024 Football Championship.

The draws can be watched live at RTÉ.ie/Sport
