GAA All-Ireland SFC 2025: Permutations, fixtures, schedule and throw-in times for final group games

Tyrone v Cavan, Brewster Park, Sunday, 16:00 BST

Donegal v Mayo, Dr Hyde Park, Sunday, 16:00 BST

Permutations everywhere you look here.

After two games, Donegal, Mayo, Tyrone and Cavan all sit on two points heading into the final round-robin weekend, the first time this has happened since this format was introduced.

Ulster champions Donegal comfortably hold the most superior scoring difference (+16), thanks to their 19-point victory over Cavan in round two.

However, the first tie-breaker is head-to-head, and given that Tyrone beat Donegal in the first round, the Red Hands will top the group if they beat Cavan and Donegal overcome Mayo, a sequence which would eliminate the Connacht county.

Tyrone will also finish top if they win and Donegal and Mayo play out a draw, which would knock Cavan out.

Courtesy of their win over Tyrone last time out, Mayo will top the group if they beat Donegal and Tyrone defeat Cavan. This would eliminate Cavan.

Donegal will top the group if they beat Mayo and Cavan get the better of Tyrone, thus sending the Red Hands out. Jim McGuinness’ Donegal will also secure first place if they win and the Tyrone-Cavan game ends in a draw, eliminating Mayo.

Both games ending in a draw is a highly unlikely occurrence, but if that does happen, Donegal will top the group on scoring difference while Cavan will finish bottom.

Mayo will finish top if they beat Donegal and Tyrone beat Cavan. They will also finish top with victory over Donegal and a draw in the Tyrone-Cavan game.

Cavan can still finish top despite entering the weekend bottom. To do that, they will need to beat Tyrone and hope that Mayo see off Donegal, which would eliminate Donegal. If Cavan win and Donegal-Mayo ends in a draw, Cavan will finish at the summit and Tyrone will head for the exit door.

Jeopardy. That’s what everyone wants and this group is full of it. It could go right down to the final kick.
