TGL: Atlanta Drive GC v Boston Common Golf
Monday 23rd February 10:00PM GMT/5:00PM Local
SoFi Center, Palm Beach Gardens
The TGL season continues as the Atlanta Drive Golf Club take on the Boston Common Golf Club at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. The defending champion and league-leading Drive welcome Justin Thomas back to their lineup just in time for this pivotal clash. He’ll be paired up against Common’s Keegan Bradley, who is enjoying a white-hot start to the season. Despite his pedigree, some fans might be raising their eyebrows at the inclusion of Thomas, as it pushes Billy Horschel out of the Drive’s lineup despite his own fantastic start to the season. Elsewhere in the match-up, Boston’s Rory McIlroy will look to tame Chris Gotterup as the Common aim to continue their perfect start to the season. Away from the SoFi Center, Gotterup already has two wins on the PGA Tour this year, and will be looking to bring his best against the player he beat for the Scottish Open title last year. Their duel on the devious ‘Alpine’ hole will certainly be a highlight of this match. The Drive will also be in action later in the evening when they take on the Los Angeles Golf Club as part of a TGL doubleheader.
UEFA Champions League: Inter Milan v Bodø/Glimt
Tuesday 24th February 8:00PM GMT/9:00PM Local
San Siro, Milan
Inter Milan host Bodø/Glimt in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Knockout Phase Play-off at the San Siro in Milan. Inter are on the wrong side of a stunning 3-1 deficit entering this match as they face potential elimination from the Champions League. Last season’s tournament runners-up and current runaway Serie A leaders will hope to return Denzel Dumfries to the line-up. However, despite this crucial addition, they will need the likes of Marcus Thuram to step up amidst Lautaro Martínez’s ongoing absence if they are to overcome the shocking result of this tie’s first leg. As for Bodø/Glimt, the Norwegian club keeps shining. After beating both Manchester City and Atlético Madrid in the League Stage, they now stand on the verge of becoming the first Norwegian side to make the Champions League knockout stage since 1997. While Bodø/Glimt have only recently become a regional power in Norway, with all four of their league titles coming since 2020, their 2025 Europa League Semifinal finish and performance in this season’s Champions League show that they are not a side to be underestimated. Can leading scorers Kasper Høgh and Jens Petter Hauge survive a trip to one of Europe’s most intimidating venues and lead 'The Super Team' to a historic result?
NBA: Detroit Pistons v Oklahoma City Thunder
Wednesday 25th February 12:30AM GMT (26th)/7:30PM Local
Little Caesars Arena, Detroit
The Detroit Pistons face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. This clash marks a meeting of the NBA’s current conference leaders and a potential Finals preview. For Detroit, this is the second leg of a vital three-game home-stand this week in which they will also face the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Detroit enter the week on a five-game winning streak and with eight wins in their last ten matches. With the Cade Cunningham-Jalen Duren tandem remaining one of the best in the league, this match-up will be a true benchmark of how far Detroit can go this season. Meanwhile, this match-up is a crucial one for the Thunder. With a slim lead over the Spurs in the conference standings, every win matters if the defending champions want to retain the West’s top seed. They enter the week with a two-game winning streak and four wins in their last five matches. Can current MVP front-runner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander maintain his red-hot season in what will likely be the Thunder’s toughest cross-conference match-up this season?
NHL: Carolina Hurricanes v Tampa Bay Lightning
Thursday 26th February 12:00AM GMT (27th)/7:00PM Local
Lenovo Center, Raleigh
The Carolina Hurricanes host the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh. This match-up will feature five newly-crowned Olympic medalists, three for Carolina and two for Tampa Bay, as these Eastern Conference Division leaders face off. The Hurricanes return from the international break with an eight-point lead in the Metropolitan Division. With five wins in their last six matches, the Hurricanes will look to Canadian Olympic silver medalist and leading scorer Seth Jarvis and Finnish Olympic bronze medalist and leading points-getter Sebastian Aho to continue their hot streak. Meanwhile, the Lightning have a six-point lead in the Atlantic Division, with a five-game winning streak and eight wins in their last nine outings. Behind a 90-point season from Nikita Kucherov, the Lightning seem completely intent on returning to the top of the NHL and their first Stanley Cup victory since 2021. The first time these sides met this season, the Lightning came away with a thrilling win. Will the result be the same again on the Hurricanes’ home ice?
T20 World Cup: England v New Zealand
Friday 27th February 1:30PM GMT/7:00PM Local
R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
The T20 World Cup continues as England and New Zealand face off in the Super Eight stage of the tournament at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This match will mark the final chance for either team to pick up points and potentially move on to the Semifinals. Entering the week, England are off to a perfect start in the Super Eight, having secured a 51-run victory over Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, New Zealand will need to ensure they beat Sri Lanka in their preceding match on Wednesday to remain in the running for the Finals bracket after their match against Pakistan was abandoned due to weather. England are looking for their fifth consecutive appearance in the tournament’s final four as they pursue their first title since 2022. Meanwhile, New Zealand look to return to the Semifinals for the first time since 2022 following their shocking Group Stage exit in 2024. Expect both teams to give absolutely everything as they fight for a place in the next round.
NRL: Rugby League Las Vegas
Saturday 28th February 12:00AM GMT (1st March)/4:00PM Local
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas
Rugby League Las Vegas brings a trio of NRL and Super League matches to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The event marks the start of the 2026 NRL season, with two matches to kick off proceedings. The Newcastle Knights will look to bounce back from their Wooden Spoon finish last season as they take on the North Queensland Cowboys. In Vegas’ other NRL match, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, last year’s playoff third seed, open their season against the St. George Illawarra Dragons. In the event’s other match, defending Super League champions Hull KR will look to bounce back from their shocking opening day loss to the York Knights, as they take on Leeds Rhinos. Hull do come off a thrilling win over the Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge, but will need to set their sights on correcting their course in domestic play. Meanwhile, the Rhinos are 1-1 through the first two matches of the new Super League season.
Premier League: Arsenal v Chelsea
Sunday 1st March 4:30PM GMT/4:30PM Local
Emirates Stadium, London
Arsenal face Chelsea in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal enter this rivalry match on an eight-game winning streak across all competitions and have only lost once since December 10th. The Gunners’ domestic lead currently stands at five points, though second-place Manchester City have a game in hand. With two wins and a draw against Chelsea this season, confidence will be high in North London. Meanwhile, a win will be vital for Chelsea if they wish to hold onto fourth place in the league. Entering this match level on points with fifth-place Manchester United and sixth-place Liverpool, Chelsea can’t afford to come away with anything less than a win against their cross-town rivals. While the Blues have not lost since falling to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, their subsequent three league matches have only resulted in five points. Furthermore, Chelsea have not won at the Emirates since 2021, adding to the pressure of this match. Despite this, will they be able to halt Arsenal’s momentum and find a crucial win?
