Must-win game for the champions if they're to have any prospect of European football in 2026, while for the Tribesmen, the tight battle with Sligo over the relegation playoff continues.

In the First, should be a relatively routine win for Dundalk, given Wexford's wretched form of late, while Cobh's visit to Tralee could be tricky, with the visitors aiming to close the title gap, but the Kingdom still have ambitions of overtaking Wexford and possibly Treaty. Harps are now firm favourites to finish fifth, but Bishopsgate is a tricky venue for any First Division visitors. Finally, Treaty vs UCD looks an evenly balanced tie, but form narrowly suggests the Students may have the edge.
