Tour de France: Tour de France Day 3
Monday 6th July 10:10AM GMT/12:10PM Local
Granollers to Les Angles
The Tour de France continues with a mountain stage between Granollers in Spain and Les Angles in southern France. This stage will pit Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard against one another, as the two pre-race favourites battle for mountain supremacy and the yellow jersey. After two stages, Vingegaard holds the race lead, largely in part due to Visma-Lease a Bike’s win in the opening team time trial, with Pogačar trailing by six seconds. The 195.9km stage features three prominent ascents, the most gruelling of which will be the 9.3km climb of Col de Toses at a gradient of 6.5%. The pair will likely battle again on Thursday in the week’s other mountain stage, which features even more taxing ascents than Monday’s stage. Overall, the race will cover another 1067.4km this week after Monday’s stage before arriving in the village of Ussel on Sunday.
Cricket in England: England v India (3rd T20I)
Tuesday 7th July 4:30PM GMT/5:30PM Local
Trent Bridge, Nottingham
India’s white-ball tour of England continues with the third of five International T20s, at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. After the first match was abandoned due to rain, England stormed to a four-wicket victory in the second match. After a slow start to their chase, with both openers dismissed within the first over, the trio of Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, and Tom Banton combined for 154 runs to lead the hosts past their fierce opponents. India will look to even the series as the tour comes to Nottingham. In particular, they will look to get more out of 15-year-old wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who showed flashes of promise as he hit 14 runs, including two sixes, off ten balls in his senior debut. The final two T20s will also be played this week, with the fourth T20 taking place in Bristol on Thursday, and the series concluding on Saturday in Southampton.
State of Origin: Queensland Maroons v New South Wales Blues (State of Origin Game III)
Wednesday 8th July 10:10AM GMT/8:10PM Local
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The Queensland Maroons face the New South Wales Blues in Game III of the 2026 State of Origin Series at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Maroons will look to claim their fourth Origin title in the last five years and will build on the momentum of their Game II win, where a 36-point second half powered them to victory. This was a reversal of Game I, which saw the Maroons getting shut out in the second half by an upstart Blues side. Meanwhile, the Blues will aim to become the first side since 2022 to win the Origin title in a Game III decider after losing Game II. To do so, they will lean heavily on half back Nathan Cleary, who was the hero of Game I and remained consistent despite the loss in Game II. Meanwhile, the Maroons will look to the series’ leading points scorer, star half back Sam Walker, who is yet to miss a kick for goal through two matches, and leading series try scorer Selwyn Cobbo, who racked up a hat-trick in Game II.
FIFA World Cup: France v Morocco
Thursday 9th July 8:00PM GMT/4:00PM Local
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough
France face Morocco in the Quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. A rematch of the 2022 World Cup Semifinals awaits these two high-flying sides. France needed a Kylian Mbappé penalty to get past a spirited Paraguay side who gave Les Bleus their first real test of the tournament. The goal moved Mbappé to seven at this World Cup, tying him atop the Golden Boot standings with Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, Morocco have been one of the most consistent teams of the tournament. After forcing Brazil to salvage a draw in their opening match, they have continued to play the sort of football that got them to within 90 minutes of the Final four years ago. They survived a messy penalty shootout against the Netherlands in the Round of 32 before dominating Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16. Led by a collection of excellent players such as Achraf Hakimi, Ismael Saibari, Azzedine Ounahi, and Soufiane Rahimi, Morocco have the potential to stun the pre-tournament favourites.
Super League: Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves
Friday 10th July 7:00PM GMT/8:00PM Local
The Brick Community Stadium, Wigan
Wigan Warriors take on Warrington Wolves in the Super League at the Brick Community Stadium in Wigan. Wigan enter the week in second place and riding a six-game win streak. Led by top-five try scorer Zach Eckersley, the Warriors are looking to maintain their fine form as they eye their fourth consecutive Grand Final appearance. However, they will have to overcome the Wolves, who thoroughly beat them back in April. Currently third in the standings but with a game in hand on Wigan, the Wolves have proven themselves to be hard-hitting bruisers all season long. However, they have been at times both inconsistent and incapable of beating the best teams in the league. Their recent record is proof of this - with losses to the first-place Leeds Rhinos and seventh-place Leigh Leopards in their last three games. Despite this, they have already shown that they are capable of beating the Warriors this season. The question is whether they can do it on the road this Friday.
FIFA World Cup: Norway v England
Saturday 11th July 9:00PM GMT/5:00PM Local
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
Norway face England in the FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Behind Golden Boot contender Erling Haaland, Norway appear in their first-ever World Cup Quarter-final, having dispatched Brazil in the Round of 16 in convincing fashion. While the team undoubtedly runs through Haaland and superstar midfielder Martin Ødegaard, the squad overall has performed admirably for a group all making their first-ever appearance on football’s biggest stage. They face England, who defied the twelfth man of the Azteca to beat Mexico at their often-impenetrable national stadium. Powered by captain Harry Kane, who becomes England’s joint second-most-capped player in this match, England need to build on their thrilling win over Mexico if they are to overcome Haaland’s sheer talent. A semi-final against Lionel Messi’s Argentina, Mo Salah’s Egypt, Switzerland, or Colombia awaits the winner.
Grand Slam (Tennis): Gentlemen’s Singles Final
Sunday 12th July 3:00PM GMT/4:00PM Local
All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London
Wimbledon concludes at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The Quarterfinals loom as the week begins. Jannik Sinner remains in contention to repeat as Wimbledon champion. He will begin in the final eight against Jan-Lennard Struff, but appearing in the Final will mean overcoming either three-seed Félix Auger-Aliassime or seven-time tournament champion Novak Djokovic. There will be a guaranteed wildcard in the Quarterfinals, as Grigor Dimitrov and Arthur Fery face off in the Fourth Round. However, expect the run to the Final to be stacked with talent, as eight of the top ten seeds remain in the competition. The Final will be preceded by the Ladies’ Final on Saturday, the competition for which is wide open, as just one of the top six seeds remains in the tournament.
