ANTRIM GAA have announced every group stage fixture for all three tiers in both mens hurling and football with the opening fixtures set for Friday July 24.
The Saffron County was blessed in 2025 with a history-making year with droughts being ended and first-time champions being crowned up and down the county across all three tiers.
St John's will be hoping they can retain their Senior Hurling crown after the Johnnies clinched an historic win over Loughgiel Shamrocks last Autumn to claim the Volunteer Cup for the first time in over 50 years.
And in the Senior Football Championship, the men from North Antrim will be confident they can assert their dominance over the big ball as they ended an 89-year drought to earn themselves the glory when they put Cargin to the sword at Corrigan Park.
St Galls kick-off the Senior Football Championship against Moneyglass
Moneyglass took the Intermediate football title after an enthralling battle with Sarsfields, and St Agnes' managed to make history and stormed the Junior Football Championship and made light work of Pearses' in the final.
And in the small ball Glenariff Oisin's proved too strong in the Intermediate Hurling Championship as they romped to victory over Tír na nÓg, before Con Magees Glenravel wrapped up the hurling with a terrific Junior Championship victory.
This season will see the fixtures begin on the weekend of Friday July 24th with the Intermediate and Junior Hurling Championships kicking off, with the big ball counterparts throwing-in the following week on Friday July 31st.
Both Senior Football and Senior Hurling Championship will begin in August with the big ball set for August 7th and the small ball the next weekend with a cracking Belfast derby as St John's take on Rossa under the lights on Friday August 14th.
