The 2026 Dr McKenna Cup is a Gaelic football competition for county teams in the province of Ulster.
In September 2025, a unanimous vote of Ulster GAA's Competition Controls Committee favoured the holding of a 2026 edition of the competition. The draw, for what is the centenary edition of the competition, took place in November 2025. The first fixture, between Armagh and Tyrone, was played on a Friday evening, 2 January. The group stages saw one game cancelled due to bad weather, and two results reversed due to ineligible players. Donegal emerged as winners with wins over Antrim, Derry and Monaghan.
