The Allianz league schedule was announced yesterday with the football competition set to start on May 15th.
While the final fixtures are yet to be announced, the GAA did state that they would follow a plan close to what was announced in December 2020.
This would see the divisions split in regional groups of four not and the teams playing each other on a round robin basis.
While the plan is not confirmed, this is what Monaghan and Cavan supporters should expect their teams to play in 2021.
The teams will then play-off for relegation and promotion.
