Tyrone will host Mayo, and Kerry will travel to Kildare following the draw for Round 2A and 2B of the All-Ireland SFC.
The two draws, held on RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland, will also see neighbours Louth and Armagh meet in championship football for the first time ever while last year’s All-Ireland finalists Donegal are at home to Cork.
The Round 2B draw saw eight teams drawn, with the knowledge that the four losers would see their season come to an end.
Derry will welcome Meath to Find Insurance Celtic Park. The counties first met in the 1987 All-Ireland semi-final, Brian Stafford and Bernard Flynn - with four points each - matching Derry's entire total between them in a year when the Royals lifted Sam. Derry did win a 2016 qualifier clash between the two in Owenbeg.
Elsewhere, Jack O’Connor will return to his old stomping ground as Sam Maguire holders Kerry face Kildare in Newbridge.
O'Connor stepped down in September 2021 after two seasons in charge of the Lilywhites, having taken them back to Division 1 and to a first Leinster final in four years.
Monaghan will play a third straight championship game at Clones with Roscommon set to visit. They will do so without the services of emerging star Bobby McCaul who is expected to face a long spell on the sidelines after picking up a serious looking injury in the loss to Mayo at the weekend.
In the other tie in Round 2B, Cavan have a home tie against Dublin.
The counties last met in knockout football in the 2020 All-Ireland semi-final, while Dublin won a round-robin game in 2023.
In Round 2A, Tyrone and Mayo are set for a bumper Omagh clash with Malachy O’Rourke’s side hoping to make it a Connacht one-two after defeating Roscommon last time out.
Mayo host a very positive championship record against the Red Hands, although they did lose their one All-Ireland final meeting back in 2021.

Louth were handed a home tie against Armagh, but that will be played at a neutral venue as construction work continues on the Wee County’s new stadium. Louth have used Inniskeen as a base in recent times, but with Grattan Park unlikely to come anywhere near meeting demand for what will be a bumper crowd, there may be discussions about where to hold it with the Leinster side allowed to nominate a venue.
Cork make the long trip to Donegal, with GAA president Jarlath Burns confirming that Ballybofey is back in action having been unavailable for their Ulster loss to Down,
The Tir Chonaill County will have Jim McGuinness patrolling the sidelines after the GAA opted against taking action following his push on Kerry's Diarmuid O'Connor following a half-time fracas between the counties.
They last met in the 2024 round-robin stage with Cork earning a shock win, Donegal's first defeat of the season.
The final game is a battle of the maroon as Galway host Leinster champions Westmeath.
Their first championship encounter, in 2006, was notable as it was Jarlath 'Ja' Fallon's comeback match after he had previously announced his retirement. It wasn't the return he wanted though, as he broke his collarbone after just 13 minutes and Westmeath won by a point.
All eight games will take place on 13-14 June with exact details to be confirmed in due course.
Speaking after the draw, Roscommon goalkeeper Conor Carroll said the prospect of a trip to St Tiernach's Park was always a daunting experience.
"Monaghan's track record speaks for itself," he told Morning Ireland.
"They were very unlucky to lose the last day against Mayo and the game before that again (vs Armagh) in the Ulster final, they're an excellent side.
"They'll get our full respect and our full attention and we'll be ready to go come game day."
