The Connacht Senior Football Championship is run on a knock-out basis in which they are eliminated from the competition. A series of games are played during the summer months and the final is played in June or July. The winners and runners-up progresses directly to the All-Ireland Group Stage. (before 2020, all losing teams progress to the All-Ireland Qualifiers and before 2001 the All-Ireland was a straight knock-out format meaning all losing teams were eliminated after a single defeat).

Galway are the two time title-holders, defeating Sligo by 2-20 to 0-12 in the 2023 final.
