Amerant Bank Arena, Sunrise
The Stanley Cup Finals continue as the Florida Panthers host the Edmonton Oilers at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise for Game Three of the series. The series moves to Florida tied at 1-1.

MLB: San Diego Padres v Los Angeles Dodgers
Tuesday 10th June 1:40AM GMT (11th)/6:40PM Local
Petco Park, San Diego
The San Diego Padres host the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB regular season at Petco Park in San Diego. These two teams are in the midst of baseball’s tightest divisional race, with the Padres one game back of the Dodgers. The Padres are led by the reliable hitting of Manny Machado and the power of Fernando Tatís Jr. as they attempt to reach back-to-back postseasons for the first time since 2006. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continue to boast one of the scariest rosters in baseball, headlined by Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani as they search for their fourth consecutive division title and 12th in the last 13 seasons.
ICC World Test Championship: Australia v South Africa Day 1
Wednesday 11th June 9:30AM GMT/10:30AM Local
Lord's Cricket Ground, London
Australia face South Africa at Lord’s in the Final of the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship. Australia looks to defend their title from 2023. Australian captain Pat Cummins is eager to continue his stellar record leading the Test team, especially as the Ashes loom at the end of the year. Meanwhile, South Africa make their first appearance in the World Test Championship Final. A series loss against New Zealand is the only blemish on South Africa’s recent record. Under the leadership of captain, Temba Bavuma, the Proteas will look to continue their Test cricket momentum against the reigning champions.
Major Championships (Golf): U.S. Open Day 1
Thursday 12th June 11:00AM GMT/7:00AM Local
Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont
The U.S. Open Golf Championship gets underway at the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. All eyes are on Western Pennsylvania as the Open returns to Oakmont for the first time since 2016. Bryson DeChambeau of LIV Golf enters as the defending champion after earning his second Major win last year. However, much stands between DeChambeau and the first U.S. Open title defence since 2018. Rory McIlroy has already secured wins at The Players Championship and the Masters, while Scottie Scheffler grabbed the win at the most recent Major, the PGA Championship. With a packed field vying for the title, four days of can’t-miss golf await.
NBA: Indiana Pacers v Oklahoma City Thunders
Friday 13th June 12:30AM GMT (14th)/8:30PM Local
Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis
The Indiana Pacers host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game Four of the NBA Finals at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Heading into the week, the NBA Finals are tied at 1-1. The Pacers stunned the NBA-best Thunder in Game One, thanks to a highlight reel-worthy buzzer-beater from Tyrese Haliburton. However, the Thunder quickly rallied in Game Two, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropping 34 points in the Thunder’s 16-point victory. The series now moves to Indiana, with Game Three on Wednesday. Now holding the home court advantage, will the Pacers stun the Thunder once again? Or is the series now moving toward an “inevitable” Thunder championship?
Premiership Rugby: Bath Rugby v Leicester Tigers
Saturday 14th June 2:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Twickenham Stadium, London
Bath face Leicester in the Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham Stadium in London. After winning the Challenge Cup and Premiership Rugby Cup, regular season league toppers Bath are eyeing a historic treble. However, Bath are yet to win a Premiership title since the playoff format was introduced, and thus would be ending a title drought dating back to 1996. Their monumental season has been achieved on the backs of players such as Finn Russell and Thomas du Toit, who will be vital if they are to win one more time this season. Meanwhile, Leicester appear in their first Final since their title-winning campaign in 2022. They are led by Handré Pollard and Ollie Hassell-Collins, the latter of whom tied Gabriel Ibitoye of Bristol Bears, at the top of the try-scoring table.
Formula 1: Canadian Grand Prix
Sunday 15th June 6:00PM GMT/2:00PM Local
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montréal
The Formula 1 season continues at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Through nine races, a race for the championship has developed between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Heading into Canada, Piastri holds a slim 10-point lead over Norris. However, the circuit has become the realm of Max Verstappen in recent years, with the Dutchman having won the last three editions of the race. If Verstappen, who is third in the championship standings, wins his fourth race in a row in Montreal, he will set a new record for consecutive race wins at the Canadian Grand Prix. Can Verstappen make history and close the gap in the drivers’ championship standings?
