Kilkenny's 2023 National Hurling League Fixtures confirmed

The GAA have released their master fixture list ahead of the 2023 inter-county season.

Among the released details are the times and venues for all the regulation games in both the Allianz Hurling and Football Leagues.

Kilkenny will open up their Division 1B campaign with a trip to Belfast to meet Antrim on the first Saturday of February while a battle against neighbours Tipperary occurs a week later in Nowlan Park.

After a week's break Kilkenny then take on Laois in MW Hire O'Moore Park on Sunday, February 26 with games against Dublin and Waterford rounding off the five game schedule.

The Dubs will travel to the Marble City for a game on Sunday, March 12 with the Cats then meeting the Deise in Walsh Park a week later.

The top two teams in both Division 1A and 1B will advance to the semi-finals which take place on April 25/26.

The final will then commence on April 8/9, a mere two weeks before the Leinster Championship throws-in.
