Mayo v Kerry 2025: Results, Tickets & TV Times

Any GAA fan who has watched Kerry and Mayo meet in Croke Park knows the scoreline is rarely the full story. This guide pulls together the two 2025 league meetings between the counties — including results, TV details, and ticket guidance — so you can find everything in one place.

First meeting: 1905 ·
Kerry All-Ireland titles: 37 ·
Mayo All-Ireland titles: 3 ·
2025 League Final score: Kerry 1-18, Mayo 1-12

Six key facts frame the 2025 story — two league meetings, one trophy, and a rivalry whose numbers stretch back more than a century.

The pattern: two counties, two meetings in 2025, and a split decision — Mayo took the league point in Castlebar, and Kerry took the trophy at Croke Park.

What time is the Mayo v Kerry 2026 game on TV?

• The 2026 date has not been announced yet.
• Past 2025 league meetings between the counties were broadcast live on TG4.

The simplest answer: nobody knows yet. The GAA fixture calendar for 2026 is not fully published, so no official date or throw-in time exists for a Mayo v Kerry meeting in 2026.

Is the 2026 match confirmed?

No. The only confirmed 2025 fixtures between Kerry and Mayo were the Round 5 league match on March 1 and the Division 1 final on March 30. A 2026 meeting depends on the league and championship draws, which the GAA typically publishes later in the year.

What channel will broadcast the game?

When the 2026 fixture is announced, the broadcast partner will be confirmed by the GAA. For the 2025 league season, both Mayo v Kerry matches — the Round 5 fixture in Castlebar and the Division 1 final at Croke Park — were shown live on TG4.

The 2026 schedule remains the single missing piece for now.

How to get Mayo v Kerry 2025 tickets?

• Tickets for GAA league and championship matches are sold through the GAA’s official ticket portal.
• Match-specific ticket prices and sale dates are announced closer to each fixture.

For the 2025 meetings, tickets were distributed through the GAA’s official channels — primarily the GAA ticket portal (tickets.gaa.ie), with county boards and official club networks handling allocations. The available research notes do not specify exact price ranges for either 2025 match, so treat any third-party reseller listings with caution.

Where are tickets sold?

The official route for GAA match tickets is the GAA’s ticket platform at tickets.gaa.ie. Kerry GAA and Mayo GAA also distribute tickets through their county board networks, and some tickets are available at the venue on match day depending on demand.

Are there official ticket partners?

The GAA does not use unofficial resale platforms for primary ticket sales. League fixtures like the 2025 Division 1 final at Croke Park were ticketed through the GAA’s own system, with the match played at 4pm on March 30, 2025.

When do tickets go on sale?

Ticket sale dates are typically announced one to two weeks before each fixture. For the 2025 Division 1 final, the GAA confirmed details through official county channels in the week leading up to the match. The safest approach is to monitor Kerry GAA’s fixtures page and the GAA’s central website.

Planning ahead remains the best strategy given demand.

What was the score of Mayo v Kerry 2025?

• Kerry 1-18, Mayo 1-12 — Allianz League Division 1 Final, March 30, 2025 at Croke Park.
• Mayo 0-21, Kerry 1-16 — Round 5 league match, March 1, 2025 at Castlebar.

The headline result of the 2025 series came in the league decider. Kerry beat Mayo 1-18 to 1-12 in the Allianz Football League Division 1 final at Croke Park on March 30, 2025. The42 also listed the final-time score in its live coverage of the 4pm throw-in.

Allianz League Division 1 Final score

Kerry 1-18, Mayo 1-12. Midwest Radio reported the same full-time scoreline in its post-match coverage. The win made Kerry the first winners of the Corn Mhichíl Uí Mhuircheartaigh trophy, the 2025 Division One championship cup.

One reporting note: Kerry GAA’s own match report lists the final as Kerry 1-18, Mayo 1-10 — a discrepancy from the 1-12 scoreline carried by The Irish Times, Midwest Radio, and The42. The majority of live reports and fixture listings point to 1-18 to 1-12.

League match in Castlebar score

Mayo beat Kerry 0-21 to 1-16 in Round 5 of the 2025 Allianz Football League Division 1 on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar. The Irish Times described the win as Mayo’s third game unbeaten in the 2025 league campaign.

That score discrepancy is the only open question from an otherwise decisive series.

What GAA fixtures are on TV this weekend?

• TG4 is the primary broadcaster for Allianz Football League matches.
• RTÉ and BBC also hold GAA broadcast rights, with Sky Sports covering selected games.

For the 2025 season, TG4 carried both Mayo v Kerry league fixtures. Weekend GAA schedules are published each week by the GAA and by broadcasters like RTÉ and TG4.

How to find TV schedules for GAA matches?

The official GAA.ie fixture calendar lists match dates, venues, and broadcast information for league and championship games. County board sites, including Kerry GAA’s fixtures-and-results page, also publish round-by-round listings with TV details.

Which channels show GAA?

TG4 is the main Irish-language broadcaster for GAA league fixtures. RTÉ covers championship highlights and selected live games, while BBC covers GAA for audiences in Northern Ireland. For fans looking for a consolidated weekly schedule, GAA Today on TV: Full Schedule & Where to Watch rounds up the weekend’s televised matches.

The implication: if you are looking for a weekend GAA fixture, TG4 is the default first stop — the same channel that carried both 2025 Kerry-Mayo meetings.

What are the Kerry GAA matches happening today?

• Kerry GAA’s official fixtures page is updated in real time.
• GAA.ie provides a nationwide fixture calendar.

For live and upcoming Kerry fixtures, the Kerry GAA official website lists all senior men’s football matches with dates, venues, and results. The GAA’s central site at GAA.ie also publishes fixture calendars for all counties.

Where to check Kerry GAA fixture list?

Kerry GAA’s fixtures-and-results page covers every competition — Allianz League, Munster Championship, and All-Ireland series. For the 2025 season, that page confirmed both Mayo meetings, including the venues (MacHale Park and Croke Park) and the referees: Sean Hurson for the Castlebar match and David Coldrick for the Division 1 final.

How to find live scores?

Live scores for Kerry matches are published on the GAA’s official app and on GAA.ie, with county-specific updates from Kerry GAA’s social media channels. For a preview of the rivalry’s broader context, Ireland v France Rugby: History, Players, and Match Facts shows how Irish sports rivalries are documented — a useful comparison for anyone researching fixture history.

Why this matters: fans checking “today’s Kerry match” on a matchday will find the fastest, most accurate answer on the county board’s own page — not on social media.

Timeline: Mayo v Kerry through the years

Key dates in the rivalry’s modern history. The first recorded meeting between Kerry and Mayo was in 1905. On March 1, 2025, Mayo defeated Kerry 0-21 to 1-16 at MacHale Park (The Irish Times). Kerry won the Division 1 final 1-18 to 1-12 on March 30, 2025 (The42). A 2026 meeting is expected but not yet confirmed.

The 2025 timeline shows how quickly form can shift between these two sides.

What we know and what we don’t

The 2025 story has clear winners and one open question.

Several facts are confirmed: Mayo beat Kerry 0-21 to 1-16 at Castlebar on March 1, 2025; Kerry won the Division 1 Final 1-18 to 1-12 on March 30, 2025; the final was played at 4pm at Croke Park; both 2025 league meetings were broadcast live on TG4; Mayo’s Round 5 win made it three league games unbeaten; and the Castlebar crowd was 9,358.

Meanwhile, some aspects remain unclear: the exact date and time of the expected 2026 Mayo v Kerry match; which TV channel will broadcast the 2026 fixture; whether Kerry GAA’s stated final score of 1-10 for Mayo or the wider-reported 1-12 is the accurate tally; the ticket price range for the 2025 matches; the number of tickets sold for each 2025 meeting; and the specific lineup for a possible 2026 encounter.

Those open questions are the ones to watch as the GAA releases its future schedule.

From the sideline: what the coverage said

“Kerry beat Mayo in Division 1 Final”

Midwest Radio (regional broadcaster)

“Mayo fight back against Kerry to clinch win in Castlebar”

The Irish Times (national newspaper)

“Kerry are 2025 Allianz Football League Division 1 champions”

Kerry GAA (official county board)

Across local radio, national press, and the county board’s own channels, the coverage agrees on one thing: the 2025 league season belonged to Kerry, with Mayo’s Castlebar win as the supporting plot.

Summary

Mayo proved in Castlebar that they can beat Kerry in a league setting, but Kerry answered three weeks later on the bigger stage, lifting the Corn Mhichíl Uí Mhuircheartaigh with a six-point win at Croke Park. For Mayo supporters, the lesson of 2025 is that league form does not automatically carry into finals — and for both fan bases, the 2026 fixture release becomes the next date to circle.
