Derry's All-Ireland SFC campaign ended at Celtic Park on June 13, 2026, following a 1-24 to 1-20 defeat to Meath in Round 2B. Despite an early goal from James Sargent and a competitive first half that saw the teams level at 1-9, Derry could not maintain momentum. Throughout the match, Meath capitalized on Derry's turnover issues and defensive lapses, with key contributions from Donal Keogan and James Conlon.
