Mayo v Donegal in Round Three of the Group Phase of the Championship will take place in Hyde Park, Roscommon, on Sunday, June 15 at 4pm.
Mayo fans will have fond memories of the last time that the pair went toe-to-toe in Championship fare, when a Cillian O'Connor-inspired side prevailed by four points in MacHale Park to dump Declan Bonner's Donegal out of the All-Ireland series, simultaneously punching their ticket to the last-four.
The most recent meeting between the sides, in the final regular game of the National League, also ended favourably for Mayo, however, it will be hard to take any signs from that in terms of how next weekend's game will play out.
It has also being confirmed that the crunch tie will be shown live on RTÉ television.
