MLB: Philadelphia Phillies v Los Angeles Dodgers
Monday 20th July 11:10PM GMT/7:10PM Local
Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Phillies host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Fresh off hosting the All-Star Game last week, the Phillies now continue their chase at the top of the National League East. Philadelphia has battled with the Atlanta Braves for control of the division all season and enter the week three games behind in the standings. Boasting home run leader Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies will be hoping to power their way past the defending champions. The Dodgers have a double-digit lead in the National League West as they spend the week on the East Coast. While the team doesn't feel as dominant as years gone by, with no single player putting up an elite individual season, the two-time defending World Series champions are still very much the team to beat in baseball. While there are concerns about Shohei Ohtani's health, the Dodgers will be eager to win a statement series against a team they could very well face in the playoffs in a few months time. The Phillies face the New York Yankees in the back half of the week, while the Dodgers' road trip concludes against the New York Mets.
The Hundred: MI London v Sunrisers Leeds
Tuesday 21st July 1:45PM GMT/2:45PM Local
The Oval, London
A new season of The Hundred begins as MI London faces the Sunrisers Leeds at The Oval in London. Both sides enter the season under new names, following a wave of private investment that saw the Oval Invincibles become MI London, and the Northern Superchargers become Sunrisers Leeds, as part of the competition's new ownership model. In the men's tournament, MI London enter the 2026 season as three-time defending champions and have added even more star power to the team anchored by Sam Curran and Will Jacks. James Vince and Trent Boult head to The Oval from the Southern Brave and Birmingham Phoenix, respectively, maintaining MI London as the team to beat on the men's side. Meanwhile, the Sunrisers will be looking to build on their third-place finish in 2025. Boasting a side full of England internationals, they will be hoping the addition of South African wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton can help push them over the top. In the women's tournament, the Sunrisers head to London as first-time defending champions. Their biggest signing of the offseason was grabbing England international Dani Gibson. Will it be enough? Only time will tell - the women's title has been notoriously hard to defend, with only MI London doing so in the league's second season. Their opponents to open the 2026 campaign will be led by a familiar face. Hollie Armitage swapped Leeds for the capital in the offseason and will captain MI London to start the year. Another familiar face will be on the sidelines, as MI London also poached the Sunrisers' championship-winning coach, Lisa Keightley, as part of their rebuild.
PDC Darts: Betfred World Matchplay Day 5
Wednesday 22nd July 6:00PM GMT/7:00PM Local
Winter Gardens, Blackpool
The PDC World Matchplay continues at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Can Luke Littler join Phil Taylor as the only men to complete a calendar-year Triple Crown? If the world number one can defend his Matchplay title, it will be the first time since Taylor in 2010 that a darts player will have won the World Championship, Premier League Darts title, and Matchplay title in a single year. However, Littler's path to the title will run through a gauntlet of talented players, with Nathan Aspinall, Josh Rock, and Michael van Gerwen awaiting him if the seeds hold. On the other side of the draw, world number two Luke Humphries will likely have to see off the likes of Gerwyn Price and Gian van Veen if he wants to set up another clash with Littler. The World Matchplay Final is the only Triple Crown Final in which the two Lukes are yet to meet, and as the last two winners of the event, it would serve as a fitting continuation of their rivalry, as well as their fifth meeting in the last nine Triple Crown Finals. The tournament continues until the Final on Sunday.
Commonwealth Games: Glasgow 2026 Day 1
Thursday 23rd July 7:00PM GMT/8:00PM Local
OVO Hydro, Glasgow
The Commonwealth Games begin, with the Opening Ceremony taking place at The Hydro in Glasgow. 3,000 athletes head to Scotland as the nation hosts its fourth Commonwealth Games and first since 2014. The first Games to be overseen by King Charles III, the event will debut a new streamlined format that organisers hope will serve as a blueprint for future iterations. 215 events will be contested across 10 sports, from familiar favourites such as athletics, gymnastics and swimming to more unique events such as bowls and netball. Gabon and Togo will make their Commonwealth Games debuts. The first days of the Games will see medals awarded in gymnastics, para powerlifting, swimming, and weightlifting. Hosts Scotland will be aiming to surpass their record medal haul of 53, which they achieved the last time they hosted the event.
Super League: Wigan Warriors v St Helens
Friday 24th July 7:00PM GMT/8:00PM Local
The Brick Community Stadium, Wigan
Wigan Warriors host St Helens in the Super League at DW Stadium in Wigan. Warriors enter the week in second in the Super League, two points behind the league-leading Leeds Rhinos and ahead of third-place Wakefield Trinity by virtue of points differential. Warriors have not lost since May 21st and, with the Challenge Cup already captured, look like the favourites to win their third league title in the last four seasons. Meanwhile, St Helens are sixth and enter this match with three wins in their last five matches. With the top of the table tightly bunched - just six points separate St Helens from league-leaders Leeds Rhinos - Saints remain firmly in the play-off mix. Unfortunately, their recent form has been dented by back-to-back losses to Wigan and Toulouse earlier this month, so Saints will need to find a way to beat their longtime rivals if they are to keep their season alive. Can Zach Eckersley and Noah Hodkinson power the Warriors to victory? Or will Jackson Hastings and the Saints pick up a vital rivalry win?
Tour de France: Tour de France Day 20
Saturday 25th July 9:20AM GMT/11:20AM Local
Le Bourg-d’Oisans to L’Alpe d’Huez
The twentieth and penultimate stage of the 2026 Tour de France takes riders from Le Bourg-d'Oisans to L'Alpe d'Huez. Only a premature end to his race stands between Tadej Pogačar and a historic Tour de France title. With Jonas Vingegaard withdrawing from the race after a Stage 15 crash, Pogačar's closest opponent heading into the mountain-heavy third week is five minutes behind him in the standings. As long as the Slovenian can stay in the race, he will become the fifth man to win five Tour de France titles, and will certainly be the favourite to break the record next year. However, there is plenty left to fight for in the final week. As things stand, Remco Evenepoel and Isaac del Toro hold second and third, but will face a tough week from Paul Seixas, Florian Lipowitz, and Juan Ayuso. Stage 20 will push riders to their limits, with four designated ascents. It will also feature the second ascent of the gruelling Alpe d'Huez in as many days, a daunting task even for the world's elite. The race will end in Paris on Sunday.
Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix
Sunday 26th July 1:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Hungaroring, Mogyoród
The Formula One season continues with the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród. After winning in Belgium, and with his closest rivals either finishing off the podium or not at all, Kimi Antonelli's lead in the Drivers' Championship once again feels unassailable. Heading into Hungary, the young Italian driver holds a 45-point lead over Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth at Spa. But could Ferrari be mounting a challenge from their other driver? Charles Leclerc has now secured back-to-back podiums, following his British Grand Prix win with second place in Belgium. He is 78 points behind Antonelli, but if his performances continue as they have, he might be in line for a 2025 Max Verstappen-esque comeback to keep the second half of the season interesting. Antonelli will now chase his seventh win of the season at the Hungaroring, where he finished 10th in 2025. Meanwhile, George Russell will attempt to claw his way back into contention at the race where he finished third last year.
