When the National Football League fixtures for 2026 were released, Kildare vs Offaly was highlighted as one of the key games for both teams' Division 2 campaigns and they face off this Saturday, January 31 in Cedral St Conleth's Park.
Brian Flanagan has named his team for tomorrow's 6pm throw-in.

Offaly edged Kildare twice in the league in 2025 but The Lilies got the better of The Faithful en-route to Tailteann Cup glory later in the year. This is a crucial fixture for both of the newly-minted Division 2 team's as they seek to maintain that status into 2027 at the very least.
