The Hundred: Trent Rockets v Southern Brave
Monday 10th August 2:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Trent Bridge, Nottingham
The Trent Rockets host the Southern Brave in The Hundred at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. In the Men's competition, the Rockets will look to close out their regular season on a seven-game winning streak. After losing their opening match, the 2022 champions have won six games in a row. Securing their seventh win will guarantee them the top seed in the Finals, given their status as the only one-loss team in the Men's competition. Meanwhile, the Brave have been mathematically eliminated from Finals contention but still have the opportunity to play spoiler against the Nottinghamshire side. In the Women's competition, the last match of the regular season for both sides will serve as a first versus second clash. Like their male counterparts, the Rockets have the opportunity to finish the season 7-1 and secure the top seed in the Finals. Prior to this season, the Rockets had not finished higher than third place in any season of The Hundred. The Brave, on the other hand, are guaranteed a Finals appearance, but can finish anywhere from first to third. A win guarantees them a top-two finish, while a loss could see them sink to third depending on the outcome of the match later in the week between the Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds. The tournament continues throughout the week until the Finals, with the Eliminator matches set for Friday and the Final matches set for Sunday.
European Athletics Championships: European Athletics Championships Day 2
Tuesday 11th August 9:30AM GMT/10:30AM Local
Alexander Stadium, Birmingham
The European Athletics Championships continue at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. All eyes will be on the Men's 100m, where Italy's Marcell Jacobs seeks to become the first back-to-back-to-back champion since Linford Christie in 1994. In the Women's 100m Hurdles, Switzerland's Ditaji Kambundji, who earned gold at the World Championships last year, will look to add the European title to her resume and improve on the silver medal she won two years ago in Rome. In the Men's Long Jump, Miltiadis Tentoglou will look to secure a record-extending fourth consecutive European title. However, world champion Mattia Furlani, who finished second to Tentoglou two years ago in Rome, will look to stop the Greek star's dominance. The Women's 5000m will likely come down to a battle between defending champion Nadia Battocletti and season leader Maureen Koster. The fifth medal of the day will be decided in the Men's Hammer Throw, where Wojciech Nowicki faces tough competition to win a record-breaking fourth consecutive European title.

UEFA Super Cup: Paris Saint-Germain v Aston Villa
Wednesday 12th August 7:00PM GMT/9:00PM Local
Red Bull Arena Salzburg, Salzburg
Paris Saint-Germain face Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup at the Red Bull Arena Salzburg. PSG, the two-time defending champions of the Champions League, take on Aston Villa, who won their first European trophy since 1982 when they captured the Europa League at the end of last season. The perennial French champions invested sparingly in the offseason, adding Maghnes Akliouche and Lucas Digne - the latter coming from Villa - to their impressive squad, as they chase a Champions League three-peat and their sixth consecutive domestic title. Meanwhile, Villa have compensated for the loss of Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers with the acquisition of Johan Manzambi and João Gomes. This match will set the tone for the season to come, especially with the chance that these two will meet again in the Champions League. These two sides last met in the 2024/25 Champions League knockouts, where PSG survived a second-leg loss to the Midlands team to advance to the Semifinals on aggregate.
NRL: Penrith Panthers v Sydney Roosters
Thursday 13th August 9:50AM GMT/7:50PM Local
CommBank Stadium, Parramatta
The Penrith Panthers host the Sydney Roosters in the NRL at CommBank Stadium in Parramatta. The NRL marks its annual Indigenous Round with a battle for first place. The Panthers have led the ladder for most of the season, but a slip-up against the Warriors last week has put that first place standing in jeopardy. With four matches left in the regular season, and six points separating first and sixth, every win matters from here on out. Meanwhile, the Roosters have surged to close the gap in recent weeks and enter this pivotal match-up riding a seven-game win streak. After finishing eighth last season and losing in the first round of the Finals, the Roosters now look like a bona fide challenger for their first Premiership since 2019. Both teams are offensive powerhouses, potentially setting up a thrilling high-scoring match, especially if the Panthers are able to get the ball to league-leading try scorer, Thomas Jenkins.
European Athletics Championships: European Athletics Championships 2026 Day 5
Friday 14th August 9:30AM GMT/10:30AM Local
Alexander Stadium, Birmingham
The European Athletics Championship will award six medals on Friday at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. Like with the 5000m, the Women's 10,000m could come down to a battle between defending champion Nadia Battocletti and season leader Maureen Koster. In the Men's High Jump, Gianmarco Tamberi will need to dig deep to win his third consecutive, and fourth overall, European title. History will be made in the Women's Discus Throw as a new champion will be crowned for the first time since 2010 due to the absence of Sandra Elkasević, who had won the last seven European discus titles. In the Men's 400m Hurdles, Karsten Warholm goes for a record-breaking fourth consecutive title. Home favourite Zharnel Hughes will look to reclaim the Men's 200m title that he won in 2022. The highlight of the day will be the Women's 800m, where an impressive field is led by season leader Audrey Werro, two-time defending champion Keely Hodgkinson, and discipline debutant Femke Broeders-Bol, who made the switch to the 800m late last year. The competition continues until Sunday.

UFC: UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry
Saturday 15th August 1:00AM GMT (16th)/9:00PM Local
Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia
UFC 330 takes place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The card is headlined by two first-time belt defences. Islam Makhachev looks to break the all-time UFC win streak when he defends the Welterweight belt against Ian Machado Garry. Since losing his second-ever UFC fight in 2015, Makhachev has gone on an unprecedented 16-fight winning streak. Securing the belt at UFC 322 tied the record set by Anderson Silva in 2012. Standing between him and his 17th consecutive win is the 17-1 Garry, who earns his first title shot with this bout. The sole loss of Garry's career came in a title eliminator match in 2024, but he has since put in the work to earn a shot at the belt. However, does he have what it takes to stop one of the greatest to ever step in the Octagon? Only time will tell. In the other title fight of the night, Mackenzie Dern looks to make her mark on the Women's Strawweight division as she defends her belt for the first time against Gillian Robertson. Both fighters enter this bout on significant winning streaks - 3 for Dern and 5 for Robertson - and the winner can likely expect a challenge from former champion Zhang Weili in the near future.
FA Community Shield: Arsenal v Manchester City
Sunday 16th August 2:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
Principality Stadium, Cardiff
The FA Community Shield sees Arsenal take on Manchester City at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal enter the season as defending Premier League champions for the first time since 2004, while City had to settle for a domestic Cup Double after losing the league title race to the Gunners. The marquee transfer for the defending champions was the acquisition of Bruno Guimarães, who will play a pivotal role in midfield. Meanwhile, City see a significant changing of the guard as Enzo Maresca takes over as manager. With the departures of Bernardo Silva and John Stones comes the £116 million arrival of Elliot Anderson, who will look to define the midfield in Manchester following a breakout performance on the international stage at the World Cup. City were just one of two sides who did not lose to Arsenal in the league last season. Can they start their hunt for another title with a tone-setting win?
