The Munster senior football final will return to a Sunday date for the first time since 2017 next year as the Leinster decider moves to the Saturday evening slot. In what is guaranteed to be the first Munster final not involving both Cork and Kerry since 2016, the game has been given a 2pm throw-in time on June 21. The Ulster SFC final is scheduled for a 4pm throw-in later that afternoon. After last year’s Munster final was played on a Saturday evening, it was anticipated that it would swap places with its Leinster equivalent this year. The GAA have found attendances at Dublin fixtures on Saturdays earlier in the season are better than on Sundays.
