NHL: New Jersey Devils v Detroit Red Wings
Monday 24th November 12:00AM GMT (25th)/7:00PM Local
Prudential Center, Newark
The New Jersey Devils host the Detroit Red Wings at the Prudential Center in Newark for a thrilling NHL clash. The Devils are in the midst of one of the NHL’s most competitive divisional races, with just five points separating them in third place and the New York Rangers in eighth, in the Metropolitan Division. While the tandem of Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt has kept the Devils competitive, three consecutive losses coming into this game have seen the team lose ground to the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders. Meanwhile, the Red Wings hold a narrow lead atop the Atlantic Division, but the gap between them and the fifth-place Montreal Canadiens is just two points. While Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond form a phenomenal tandem, this is a key game for Detroit to keep pace in a competitive division.
NBA: Philadelphia 76ers v Orlando Magic
Tuesday 25th November 1:00AM GMT (26th)/8:00PM Local
Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia
The Philadelphia 76ers face the Orlando Magic in the NBA Cup at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The 76ers face a must-win game if they stand any chance of progressing in the in-season tournament. After dropping their first two games of the group stage, the 76ers will need to win out against the Magic and the Brooklyn Nets to stand a chance of reaching the knockouts. The 76ers boast a deep squad of balanced scorers, but have struggled to win big games so far this season. Meanwhile, the Magic are 2-0 in the group stage and could effectively guarantee a place in the knockout round with a win. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are one of the hottest young duos in the league, but the recent injury to Banchero will make things harder for the Magic, and the 76ers have proven there are no easy wins against them.
UEFA Champions League: Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Wednesday 26th November 8:00PM GMT/8:00PM Local
Emirates Stadium, London
Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal enter this clash on a 15-game undefeated streak stretching back to late August and a perfect 4 win record in the Champions League, with 11 goals scored and none conceded. However, if there’s one team that can stop the Gunners, it’s Bayern Munich. The German giants have not lost since early July at the FIFA Club World Cup, and boast a perfect Champions League record that includes wins over Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. This epic matchup will pit Arsenal’s tournament-leading defence, against Bayern’s tournament-leading attack, led by an ageless Harry Kane. However, Bayern will be without Luis Díaz, who will serve a three-match ban after being sent off against PSG.
NFL: Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers
Thursday 27th November 6:00PM GMT/1:00PM Local
Ford Field, Detroit
The NFL celebrates Thanksgiving with a classic match-up between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers at Ford Field in Detroit. The Lions are in the midst of a fierce division battle for the NFC North. At 7-4, the Lions trail the Chicago Bears and the Packers. Despite trading wins and losses for their last six games, the Lions have been strong at home, compiling a 4-1 record at Ford Field so far this season. Furthermore, the Lions have won three of their last four home games against Green Bay. As for the Packers, they trail only the Bears in the division standings and enter this clash on a two-game winning streak. They have also already beaten the Lions this season and look to sweep their division rivals for the first time since the 2020 season. Furthermore, with the Bears facing a tough match-up against the Philadelphia Eagles, this Thursday night clash is the perfect opportunity for one of these two teams to move into first place.
UEFA Women’s Nations League: Germany Women v Spain Women
Friday 28th November 7:30PM GMT/8:30PM Local
Fritz-Walter-Stadion, Kaiserslautern
The first leg of the UEFA Women’s Nations League Final between Germany and Spain takes place at Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern. After finishing third in the first edition of the Women’s Nations League in 2024, Germany now challenge for the tournament title. They cruised through the group stage, with only an opening game draw with the Netherlands marring their perfect record. In the Semifinals, they survived a late comeback attempt by the French but never seemed truly threatened. They look to Lea Schüller, their current top scorer in the tournament, to help bring home the first major title for the national team since winning gold at the 2016 Olympics. Meanwhile, defending champions Spain look to prove why they are among the best teams in World. After topping their group with ease, despite a loss to England, Spain utterly dismantled Sweden in the Semifinals. With a plethora of the world’s best players, Spain are hoping that their overwhelming offensive talent can see them through to a successful title defence, especially after the heartbreak they suffered at the UEFA Women's Championship earlier this year, where they lost to England in the Final.
SailGP: SailGP Grand Final
Saturday 29th November 10:00PM GMT/2:00PM Local
Abu Dhabi Port Mina Zayed, Abu Dhabi
The Grand Final of the SailGP season begins in Abu Dhabi. A season of thrilling racing culminates with these final races in United Arab Emirates. The final event of the season will see all twelve teams take part in the opening races, with the aim being to rack up as many points as possible for the final standings. At the end of those races, the top three teams will take part in a winner-takes-all finale. Four teams remain in contention for a spot in the final race - current standings leader Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and defending champions Spain. Los Gallos have the most work to do, as they enter the weekend in fourth, four points behind Australia, who are in third. Can Great Britain maintain their season-long consistency to claim the title? Will New Zealand and Australia once again flex their prowess as world leaders in sailing? Or can Spain make one last charge and defend their title?
Premier League: Chelsea v Arsenal
Sunday 30th November 4:30PM GMT/4:30PM Local
Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in London for a match at the top of the Premier League table. Chelsea enter the weekend in second place, having moved up the table on the back of winning five of their last six games. A balanced attack that builds from midfield has seen the Blues score 23 goals in 12 matches, while goalkeeper Robert Sánchez is averaging a clean sheet every other match. However, the Blues’ recent success is nothing compared to Arsenal, who have not lost since August, hold a six-point lead at the top of the table, and come off a 4-1 destruction of North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. If Chelsea can take the win, the Premier League could be incredibly tight heading into the new year. However, a win for Arsenal would open up a seemingly insurmountable nine-point lead for the Gunners heading into December.
