All England Lawn Tennis Club, London
Wimbledon begins at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. After his dramatic win at the French Open last month, Carlos Alcaraz looks to defend his Wimbledon title. However, he will face competition from the likes of Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper. Draper, the fourth seed in the Men’s draw, is hoping to become the first British champion at Wimbledon since 2016.

FIFA Club World Cup: Real Madrid v Juventus
Tuesday 1st July 7:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
Real Madrid face Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. This match pits two giants of European football against one another for the first time since 2018. Madrid bounced back from a surprising draw with Al-Hilal in their first Club World Cup game, to top their group after wins against Pachuca and RB Salzburg. Meanwhile, Juventus finished second in their group after being humbled by Manchester City 5-2 in the final match of the group stage. Under new manager Xabi Alonso and with marquee signing Trent Alexander-Arnold settled in the back line, Madrid will be eager to push for silverware to start the season. Meanwhile, Juventus will look to shock the Spanish juggernaut and give Igor Tudor the perfect start leading into his first full season in charge. The Club World Cup knockouts run throughout the week, with the Quarterfinals scheduled for this weekend.
Cricket in England: England v India (2nd Test) Day 1
Wednesday 2nd July 10:00AM GMT/11:00AM Local
Edgbaston, Birmingham
The Second Test between England and India gets underway at Edgbaston in Birmingham. England pulled out a late thrilling win in the first Test, thanks to a herculean effort by Ben Duckett in the second innings. The left-handed batter scored a Test-high 149 runs to help the hosts overcome India’s fantastic start to the match. If England want to control the second Test, they will need to neutralise Rishabh Pant, whose 2 centuries and 252 runs in the frst Test accounted for 30% of India’s run scoring. Seeking bowling improvements, England have named Jofra Archer in the Test squad, with his last Test appearance occuring in February 2021, however they likely might keep the side unchanged. Can England extend their advantage against the exciting Indian side.
MLB: Toronto Blue Jays v New York Yankees
Thursday 3rd July 11:07PM GMT/7:07PM Local
Rogers Centre, Toronto
The Toronto Blue Jays host the New York Yankees at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. This clash of American League East rivals comes at a pivotal time as the All-Star break approaches. The Blue Jays are third in the division, three games back of the Yankees and one game back of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays. The Blue Jays are led by Alejandro Kirk, with the catcher continuing to have a career season. However, the Yankees boast the best hitter in baseball, Aaron Judge, who is first in batting average and second in Home Runs for the season. While New York has sometimes struggled on the road this season, they will still be favourites heading into this matchup.
UEFA European Women's Championship: Denmark v Sweden
Friday 4th July 4:00PM GMT/6:00PM Local
Stade de Genève, Geneva
Denmark face Sweden in the UEFA European Women's Championship at Stade de Genève in Geneva. These rivals face off in one of the tournament’s tougher groups, which also includes eight-time winners Germany, as well as Poland. Denmark, ranked 12th in the world, have struggled as of late, most recently losing 6-1 to Sweden in the Nations League. However, Denmark are led by exceptional veterans in Pernille Harder and Signe Bruun, and could make a deep run if the team comes together at the right moment. Sweden, ranked 6th in the world, are playing a swansong campaign for a golden generation that has done so much for Swedish football over the last decade-plus. Undefeated since July 2024, Sweden are a team that can beat anyone on a good day and will be eager to cap their great recent time period with their second UEFA Women's Euro title, after their victory in 1984.
Tour de France: Tour de France Day 1
Saturday 5th July 11:10AM GMT/1:10PM Local
Lille
The 2025 Tour de France gets underway in Lille. The Grand Départ features a 184.9km route in and around the historic northern city. Tadej Pogačar enters as the defending race champion and looks to win his fourth general classification title. However, the competition is expected to be fierce. 2024 runner-up Jonas Vingegaard is aiming for his third title, while 2024 third-place finisher Remco Evenepoel seeks a dream return from injury with a maiden Tour title. Then there’s Primož Roglič, who will no doubt be in the mix, if he can avoid abandoning the race as he has done in his last three appearances. It should be a thrilling 21 days of cycling.
Formula 1: British Grand Prix
Sunday 6th July 2:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone
Formula 1 heads to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri’s lead at the top of the Driver’s Championship standings is down to just 15 points after teammate Lando Norris pipped him to the top of the podium in Austria over the weekend. That means it’s all to play for at the iconic Silverstone track, especially for the British driver Norris. Elsewhere on the grid, Lewis Hamilton seeks to become the first driver to win 10 British Grands Prix as he attempts to defend his 2024 race title, in his home country. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen will look to get his season back on track after crashing on the first lap in Austria. This should be an exciting race in this gripping Formula 1 season.
