The Faithful side will face Kilkenny in their opening match in Division 1A.
Offaly Hurling Manager Johnny Kelly says his side will only learn how to improve by playing the best sides.
The Faithful missed out on a place in the final of the Walsh Cup on Sunday, after a 2-22 to 0-16 loss away to Galway.
Focus now turns to the first round of the league in two weeks, as Offaly begin life in Division 1A away to Leinster Champions Kilkenny.
Kelly says there are positives to take into the league campaign:
