Paddy Christie's first championship game in charge of the Longford senior footballers will be against Offaly in the opening round of the 2023 Leinster SFC.
Should Longford succeed in crossing the first hurdle the reward is a quarter-final clash against Meath under new manager Colm O’Rourke.
Westmeath and Louth are in the same side of the draw as Dublin are avoided.
Longford lost against Offaly, 2-21 to 2-13, in the previous Leinster SFC Round 1 meeting between the counties back in May 2016 at O'Connor Park in Tullamore.
