The Cats are one of seven counties the division this spring alongside; Clare, Wexford, Galway, Cork, Limerick and Tipperary.
For Kilkenny midfielder and PWC All-Star nominee, Cian Kenny, the new season hasn't come soon enough.
"When you're running in those dark nights in Dunmore or here (in UPMC Nowlan Park), you've one thing in the back of your head and that's to get to Croke Park again," the Village clubman told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast.
"It's always going to be in the back of my head getting relegated (with James Stephens) so it's kind of motivation for me," he added.
"For me it's motivation to be the best I can be with Kilkenny and carry that motivation back to the club hopefully for the intermediate season ahead."
