(i) = interim

Shane Roche was originally a selector but was appointed interim manager of Wexford after Paul Galvin left suddenly in September 2020.[3] Roche was formally ratified for a two-year term as manager in January 2021.[4]

Championship draw

The draw for the preliminary rounds and quarter-finals was released by Leinster GAA on 7 October 2019. In a change to previous years' championships, a separate draw for the semi-finals was due to take place once the quarter final ties had been played,[5] however, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games and the resultant rescheduling of the 2020 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the draw for the Semi-Finals was made on 26 June 2020.[6]
