For the quarter finals this weekend, New York will take on Roscommon, London will play Mayo, and Sligo will play Leitrim.

For the semi-finals, the winner of London / Mayo will play the winner of New York / Roscommon, while the winner of Sligo / Leitrim will play the 2025 Connacht champions, Galway.

The winner and runner-up of the Connacht GAA Senior Football Championship progress directly to the 16-team All-Ireland Group Stage of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

This weekend, Roscommon is favored over New York.
