Ulster Club Championship 2022 draw, fixture guide, betting odds and TV information

With the county championship season drawing to a close, the attention swiftly moves to the forthcoming Ulster Club campaign, which gets under way later this month.

Both senior champions in football and hurling are back to defend their provincial titles.

Kilcoo, who won the Ulster and All-Ireland Club titles last season, claimed a narrow extra-time victory over Warrenpoint to win their 10th Down SFC crown in 11 seasons.

The Magpies await the winners of the preliminary round in the Ulster Club SFC quarter-final with the Armagh champions, either Crossmaglen or Granemore, meeting newly-crowned Monaghan champions Ballybay in the first round.

In hurling, Derry champions Slaughtneil are bidding for a fifth Ulster title in seven years and they face Down champions Portaferry in the semi-final with the winners facing Antrim kingpins Dunloy in the provincial final.
