Fermanagh v Tyrone date, throw-in time, TV channel information and more for the Ulster Football Championship clash

All-Ireland champions Tyrone begin their defence of the Sam Maguire with an Ulster Championship preliminary round clash with Fermanagh this weekend.

The Red Hands travel to Enniskillen on Saturday evening to face Kieran Donnelly's side, who finished fifth in Division 3 of this year's Allianz Football League, while Tyrone finished in the same position in Division 1.

Fermanagh made it all the way to the Ulster final in 2018, where they were beaten by Donegal, but they haven't won a game in Ulster since, while Tyrone have lifted the Anglo-Celt Cup four times since 2010.

Here's what you need to know about the match:

Date

Saturday, April 16.

Venue

Brewster Park in Enniskillen.

Time

The game is scheduled to throw-in at 6.30pm

TV channel information

Sky Sports Arena will show the game live.

Quotes corner

Former Mayo star Colm Boyle: “Ulster is a minefield. I would still slightly fancy Tyrone, but I was thinking about the players they have lost.

“Their strength in depth can’t be what it was the last year or two.

“I was thinking if they lost a Peter Harte, or lost Darren McCurry, they would be in major trouble.

“I think Peter Harte had surgery on an appendix and is gone. I am not sure what his time frame is.”

Betting odds

Fermanagh win: 9/1

Tyrone win: 1/14

Draw: 16/1
