England v South Africa Women
Sky Sports 1 Main Event
02/07/2026 18:30
Coverage of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup semi-final at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. England will look to make home advantage count as they bid to reach another Women's T20 World Cup final, but standing in their way is a South Africa side that has become a force in the shortest format, having finished runners-up at the 2023 tournament. These teams have developed a competitive rivalry in recent years, with several closely fought T20 internationals, and with a place in the World Cup final at stake, another thrilling encounter is expected.

Coverage of the round-of-32 match at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, USA. Spain have yet to concede a goal in these finals, qualifying courtesy of a draw against Cape Verde and victories against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.

World Cup
Australia v Egypt
BBC1
03/07/2026 19:00
Coverage of the round-of-32 match at Dallas Stadium in the USA. Australia finished second in Group D behind United States after they picked up four points from their three matches.

Egypt came through their group undefeated, beating New Zealand and drawing with Belgium and Iran, with the winners expected to face Argentina in the last 16.

Coverage of the rugby union match at Allianz Stadium in Sydney. Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt will have fond memories of his time in Ireland - he enjoyed a successful six year spell as head coach. His counterpart Andy Farrell has just signed a long term deal to lead the Irish team and will be hoping to build on a largely positive Six Nations campaign which saw them finish second to France. With analysis from Rory Best and George Gregan, and commentary by Martin Gillingham and Gordon D'Arcy
Rugby Union - Ireland International
Fiji v Wales
ITV1
04/07/2026 14:10
Lauren Salter presents all the action from the rugby union match at Cardiff City Stadium. While Fiji are the designated hosts, the match is being played here because their main stadium does not meet the competition requirements, and Wales will be looking to take advantage of that and build on their long-awaited Six Nations victory over Italy in March. With analysis from Sam Warburton, Jamie Roberts and Dan Biggar, and commentary by Miles Harrison, Shane Williams and Ben Kay
Rugby Union - Wales International
England v India
Sky Sports 4 Cricket
04/07/2026 14:30

British Grand Prix: Qualifying
Sky Sports F1
04/07/2026 16:00
Live coverage of qualifying for the British Grand Prix from Silverstone Circuit. The battle for pole position takes centre stage at one of Formula One's most iconic venues, with the fast, flowing corners of Silverstone providing one of the toughest qualifying challenges on the calendar. Following George Russell's victory at last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, the fight at the top of both championships has intensified, while home favourites will be aiming to delight the expected record-breaking crowd by securing a front-row start for Sunday's race. The 2026 British Grand Prix is also being held as a Sprint weekend, adding even more importance to every lap around the historic circuit.

Rugby Union - England International
Canada vs Morocco
BBC1
04/07/2026 18:00
Coverage of the first round-of-16 match, which takes place at Houston Stadium in the USA. Canada edged past South Africa 1-0 in the last round, in a match that is unlikely to live long in the memory, but the Canadians won't let that bother them, although they'll be underdogs this time against a side looking to emulate their achievements of four years ago, when they reached the semi-finals. Morocco come into this match on the back of a penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands, secured thanks to a late equaliser from Fulham defender Issa Diop
World Cup
Argentina v Scotland
ITV4
04/07/2026 20:00
All the action from the rugby union match at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba. Argentina have won three of the five meetings between the teams this decade, including the most recent contest, which saw them prevail 33-24 at Murrayfield last November. Scotland were 14-0 up at half-time on that occasion and extended that lead to 21-0 in the second half, but the Pumas fought back to claim a famous comeback victory.

France vs Paragauy
BBC1
04/07/2026 22:00
Coverage of the second round-of-16 match, which takes place at Philadelphia Stadium in the USA. The South Americans caused an upset in the last round, providing a defensive masterclass to edge past Germany in a dramatic penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw. They'll need a similarly heroic display here against France, who are the tournament favourites, bang in form and awash with attacking talent.
World Cup
British Grand Prix
Sky Sports F1
05/07/2026 15:00
Coverage of the ninth round of the campaign, held at Silverstone. Home favourite Lando Norris took the chequered flag here last year for McLaren, with his teammate Oscar Piastri finishing second and Sauber's Nico Hülkenberg claiming his maiden podium in third. Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton will be looking to extend his record of most wins at this Grand Prix having already won nine races here between 2008 and 2024.
Formula 1
Brazil vs Norway
BBC1
05/07/2026 21:00
Coverage of the third round-of-16 match, which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. Brazil came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in injury-time, having trailed at the break, with goals by Casemiro and Gabriel Martinelli breaking Japanese hearts. Despite not quite reaching their peak yet, Brazil will start as favourites here as they look to move a step closer towards a first World Cup triumph since 2002. Norway had Erling Braut Haaland to thank for a late winner in their last-32 match against Ivory Coast, after Amad Diallo's stunning goal had seemed enough to take the game into extra time.
World Cup
Mexico vs England
BBC1
06/07/2026 01:00
Coverage of the fourth round-of-16 match, which takes place at Mexico City Stadium. England claimed a 3-0 win over Senegal in the corresponding match of the 2022 World Cup thanks to goals by Jordan Henderson, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane. Should they have defeated DR Congo in the round of 32, the Three Lions will be involved in this contest once again, with Mexico their opponents. The co-hosts beat Ecuador 2-0 in the last round thanks to first-half goals from Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez. Facing the Mexicans at this venue would be a particularly tough test as they have an excellent record here over the years.
World Cup
England v India
Sky Sports 1 Main Event
07/07/2026 17:30
Coverage of the third T20 in the five-match series, which takes place at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

India had already won the series after winning the first two games but England managed to claim a consolation victory. They made 215-7 in their 20 overs before restricting the visitors to 198-9 as they won by 17 runs.
