The 2023 renewal of the Ulster Senior Football Championship begins this weekend with the preliminary round clash between Armagh and Antrim.
With the new Championship format in place, the provincial series offers the last chance for teams to secure their place in the Sam Maguire Cup with the finalists from each province guaranteed a place in the 16-team round robin.
Tyrone, Monaghan, Derry, Donegal and Armagh are already assured of their place in the top 16, but Antrim, Cavan, Fermanagh and Down can join them if they reach the Ulster final.
