The GAA has confirmed the fixture details for next weekend's matches in Division 1 of the National Hurling League.

Wexford and Cork qualified from the Division 1A group, while Kilkenny and Waterford progressed from Division 1B.

The Rebels will host the Cats on Saturday evening in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Despite finishing second in their round robin, the Lee-siders will enjoy home advantage as Kilkenny hosted the 2019 relegation play-off between the two sides. Throw-in will be at 7:15pm.

Brian Cody's team will be looking for revenge for their defeat in last year's All-Ireland semi-final, as Cork seek their first National League title since 1998.

Wexford picked up five wins from five thus far under new manager Darragh Egan, and Sunday will provide a litmus test as they prepare for the Leinster Championship.

Meanwhile, details for the relegation play-off between Antrim and Offaly have not yet been confirmed.
