The Premier county will face off against the Deise at the end of this month.
Tipp football has been hit with the loss of three key members of the panel as Liam Casey, Jason Lonergan and Kevin Fahey have informed manager Liam Kearns that they will be spending the summer months in the United States.
The trio won EirGrid Munster U21 medals in 2015 and played in the All-Ireland final defeat to Tyrone last May.
If Tipperary beat Waterford in the first round of the championship, they will meet Cork in the provincial semi final.
Liam Kearns says the Premier County will have to work hard to book a meeting with the Rebels.
