It's showdown time as Dublin and Tyrone meet to decide the destination of the 2018 All-Ireland senior football championship crown.

The Dubs are raging hot favourites to lift the Sam Maguire Cup for a fourth consecutive season while the Red Hands haven't tasted All-Ireland senior success since 2008.

There's an interesting sideshow to Sunday's decider as both managers Jim Gavin and Mickey Harte have unbeaten records in All-Ireland senior football finals so something has to give at Croke Park.

RTE and Sky will have live coverage of Dublin v Tyrone from 2.30pm with throw-in scheduled for an hour later.

Meanwhile, TG4 have live coverage of the curtain-raiser as Kerry attempt to complete an unprecedented five-in-a-row of Tom Markham Cups when they face Galway in the All-Ireland MFC final at 1pm.
