Asian Games 2026 Preview

The Asian Games 2026, officially known as the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026, will be one of the biggest sporting events in Asia, bringing just shy of 20,000 athletes together to compete for 469 medals across 43 disciplines. The Games will take place from September 19 to October 4 across Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture and other parts of Japan.

There will be no shortage of big names to watch, including China's swimming world-record holder Pan Zhanle, South Korean badminton star An Se-young, Pakistan's Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem, and Philippines gymnastics star Carlos Yulo.

There are also plenty of rising stars to keep an eye on, including Philippine tennis trailblazer Alexandra Eala, who enters the Games ranked No. 18 in the world, and India's 16-year-old cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is coming off a record-breaking IPL season.

The 2026 edition will also bring some fresh additions, with MMA making its Asian Games debut, alongside paddle and techball. Meanwhile, cricket returns in the T20 format, with both men's and women's competitions on the schedule. That should offer India a strong chance at two golds as they look to build on their 107-medal haul at the 2022 Asian Games. China topped the medal table that time around with 383 medals, including 201 golds.

Max vs 100 preview

Four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen is taking on an unusual challenge just two days after securing P2 at the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. On Wednesday, the Red Bull star will swap his F1 car for a go-kart as he takes on 100 drivers in Max vs 100.

The rules are simple. Verstappen will start at the back of the 101-kart grid and have just 30 laps to overtake all 100 competitors. Every driver he passes is eliminated, meaning he can win before the full 30 laps are complete. Meanwhile, the other drivers each get one “fast lap” in the opening 15 laps, allowing them to take a shortcut and gain some ground. Verstappen also gets his own shortcut, but he can only use it during the final 15 laps.

The action takes place at Silverstone, although this won't be the familiar F1 circuit. A specially designed track has been built for the event by race director and former karting world champion David Terrien, who says creating a circuit for 101 drivers at once has “never been done, never been seen.”

Testing the layout, two-time iRacing World Champion Sebastian Job warned: “I think to overtake 100 cars is going to be extremely difficult. Today we did it with 50, and even that was a challenge to do it in the allotted time. He’s got his work cut out for him big time.”

And there's another twist: Verstappen will be able to communicate directly with the other drivers during the race, giving viewers an insight into his thinking – and potentially allowing us to hear exactly what he makes of those trying to hold him up. Verstappen himself has already said he's looking forward to “Just seeing the carnage unfold in front of me.”

Slow Horses returns for its sixth season on Wednesday, September 16, streaming globally on Apple TV.

The latest outing, and the first to be adapted from two of Mick Herron’s Slough House novels — Joe Country and Slough House — sees the denizens of MI5’s mildew-infested dumping ground targeted by a killer hell bent on retaliation and revenge, with some old faces bought back into the fold as previous residents of the ‘The Park’s’ satellite office start turning up dead.

You can read the full cast list below, but we won’t spoil any of the surprise returns here, except to say there’s likely to be a few shocking reintroductions along the way as the band gets back together and goes on the run.

US Open 2026 final preview

The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open 2026, is heading towards a grand finish as Ben Shelton looks to make history on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American is just one win away from becoming the first US man since Andy Roddick in 2003 to lift a Grand Slam singles title.

Standing in his way, though, is top seed Alexander Zverev. The German has beaten Shelton in all five of their previous meetings, most recently at the ATP Finals in November 2025, and will be looking to extend that dominance on Sunday.

Zverev is appearing in his third consecutive Grand Slam final, having won Roland Garros earlier this year before losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final. He had a slow start at the US Open, needing five sets in each of his opening two rounds, but has since reeled off 13 consecutive sets and reached the final without dropping another one.

Agreed, Zverev’s route has been relatively comfortable compared to Shelton's, with the No. 1 seed yet to face a top-10 opponent. Shelton, by contrast, has had to do it the hard way. The No. 8 seed stunned defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set quarterfinal that finished at 3:33 a.m. – the latest finish in US Open history – before overcoming fellow American Frances Tiafoe in four sets in the semifinals.

Now, with the Arthur Ashe crowd firmly behind him in what will be his first Grand Slam final, Shelton will look to produce one more upset and end America's 23-year wait for a men's singles champion.

Watch South Africa vs New Zealand 4th Test live streams

With a 2-1 lead, South Africa have a hand on the spoils going into the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series finale in Baltimore, but New Zealand could yet claim a share of the modular trophy, which literally splits in half down the centre – much like these teams' record on neutral ground where it's four wins apiece.

While the All Blacks are playing for parity, the Springboks' have a powerful incentive of their own. On only four previous occasions have they beaten the All Blacks three or more times in a calendar year, most recently in 2009. Although Rassie Erasmus' back-to-back world champions are already considered to be one of the greatest rugby teams of all time, it wouldn't hurt to add another momentous feat to their body of work.

New Zealand have scored significantly more tries than South Africa over the course of the series, 13 to eight, but five of them came in the 1st Test, and they've not been quite as unerring as the Boks off the tee. Despite all the heated dialogue over scrums and lineouts, it's been a supremely entertaining series, and Dave Rennie's men will still fancy their chances of pulling level at the Baltimore Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium.

US Open 2026 semi-finals preview

The US Open 2026 will have a first-time winner in the men's singles this year, with Ben Shelton facing American compatriot Frances Tiafoe in a blockbuster second semi-final. The other match features tournament favourite Alexander Zverev taking on Karen Khachanov.

Shelton edged out defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set classic that did not finish until 3.33am, the latest of any match in US Open history. It was Shelton's first victory in 17 matches over a top-three player, and he is now one win away from the final. Tiafoe's stunning quarter-final comeback from two sets down against Alex Michelsen, another American, was no less impressive and means US representation in the Flushing Meadows showpiece is guaranteed for only the second time since 2006.

Top seed Zverev is the man to beat from here, however, after ending his grand slam drought at the French Open earlier this year, then reaching the Wimbledon final. The German breezed past Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets last time out, although his upcoming opponent Khachanov has disposed of three seeds already, including third-ranked Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round.

Zverev revealed that he stayed up for the thrilling finish between Shelton and Alcaraz, no doubt with an eye on who he might face in the final. Yet there is still work for both Zverev and Shelton to do. This US Open has shown that nothing can be taken for granted.

Watch World Athletics Ultimate Championship 2026 live streams

The biggest stars of track and field converge on Budapest this weekend for a new biennial competition unlike any in the sport's history: the World Athletics Ultimate Championship. A mix of Olympic champions, world champions, top-ranked athletes and wildcards will compete across 28 events over the next three days, with American sprint queen Sha'Carri Richardson, Swedish pole vault legend Mondo Duplantis and women's 800m stars Keely Hodgkinson and Audrey Werro among those involved.

The Ultimate Championship is a little different to traditional athletics events, with lane drafts, glowing javelins, a black infield, no medals, and injured Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles acting as MC and host. The winners of each event will take home $150,000, more than double the amount given to gold medalists at last year's World Championships. With each event starting with the semi-finals or the final, there is no margin for error — guaranteeing high-stakes action from the very start of the weekend.

Lyles' injury sets up a men's 100m battle between world champion Oblique Seville, from Jamaica, Nigeria's Kayinsola Ajayi, who has beaten him twice in the Diamond League this season, and Cameroon's Commonwealth Games champion Emmanuel Eseme. In the 200m, USA's Kenny Bednarek is the fastest man in the world this year but has Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo standing in his way.

The women's event looks set to be dominated by American team-mates Gabby Thomas and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, the Olympic and world champions respectively, with the latter also aiming to beat Paris 2024 gold medalist Julien Alfred and 2023 world champion Sha'Carri Richardson in the 100m. Great Britain's Amy Hunt competes in both events, fresh from becoming the first athlete to win four golds at a single European Championships. Elsewhere on the track, bitter men's 1500m foes Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen renew their rivalry.

Pole vault sensation Duplantis headlines the field events and fans around the world will hope he is pushed high enough to break another world record, with the current mark 6.31m. Other stars in action include Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who is the women's high jump world-record holder, two-time Olympic men's long jump champion Miltiadis Tentoglou, from Greece, and China's rising women's javelin star, Yan Ziyi.

2pm – Spanish Grand Prix

Spanish Grand Prix 2026 Preview

"Oh, what a lap, gorgeous," said Norris after he stormed to pole after pipping Antonelli by 0.011 seconds to lead the front row. Max Verstappen finished third, 0.140s back, with Lewis Hamilton in fourth after the seven-time world champion was superseded in the final moments of qualifying.

Despite Norris' late surge, Antonelli has still looked the man to beat after last weekend winning from 19th on the grid to register the second-furthest back from which any driver has managed win in history and a first home win at the Italian Grand Prix in 60 years.

With 10 races to go, Antonelli looks in supreme command of his own destiny and that continued after going quickest on day one of practice in Madrid. He was just over 0.1 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. British rookie Arvid Lindblad was fourth fastest, despite crashed his Racing Bulls for the sole red flag of the session.

This weekend is uncharted territory in Madrid, with the newly built Madring to host its first Spanish Grand Prix – the close barriers and more corners (22) than any other 2026 track will make qualifying extra important. Keep an eye out for the 270-degree La Monumental curve, with 24% banking, too.

Hamilton all-but conceded his title chase is over post-Monza, with a gargantuan 76 points to make up on Antonelli. Defending champion Lando Norris is a further 20 points back. Max Verstappen is still seeking a first win of the season in the Red Bull.

Below we'll show you how to watch Spanish Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world.

Watch Solheim Cup 2026 live streams

The 20th edition of the Solheim Cup gets underway today, Friday September 11, at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, the Netherlands, with Team USA looking to defend the trophy they won in Virginia two years ago.

The Americans are chasing their first victory on European soil since 2015. The last time they played in Europe, at Finca Cortesin in Spain in 2023, the two teams fought to a 14-14 tie, with Europe retaining the trophy having won the 2021 edition.

Angela Stanford and Anna Nordqvist will captain the two sides, with the former's Team USA boasting world No. 1 Nelly Korda, who has won two majors this season, alongside Angel Yin, Rose Zhang and Lauren Coughlin.

Europe, meanwhile, have Charley Hull and world No.7 Lottie Woad among their ranks, but they also have four rookies. On paper, the US look stronger, but Europe's record on home soil should make this a fascinating contest.

First up in the race to 14.5 points are the Foursomes on Friday morning.

NFL 2026 Preview

Although they didn’t win a single preseason game, the Seattle Seahawks will be looking to prove that last season’s triumph – which came after 12 long years – was the start of something bigger, with Sam Darnold, Mike Macdonald, and reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba all back.

The New England Patriots, meanwhile, will have a chance to avenge their Super Bowl defeat immediately, with the 2026 season beginning with a rematch against the Seahawks. Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel will be hoping to go another step further this time, while the Los Angeles Rams look like one of the biggest threats to Seattle in the NFC, thanks to the addition of Myles Garrett and the return of Aaron Donald.

The Baltimore Ravens will also be ones to watch, with Lamar Jackson looking to finally get over the playoff hump under new head coach Jesse Minter. The Buffalo Bills remain firmly in the Super Bowl conversation with Josh Allen leading a new-look team under Joe Brady.

Then there's Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who will be looking to bounce back after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Mahomes is returning after tearing his left ACL and LCL, but if he can get back to his best, the Chiefs should still be a threat in the AFC.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions will also be hoping to make deep playoff runs, with Philly looking to defend its crown and Detroit aiming to finally turn its recent regular-season success into a Super Bowl appearance.

And this season won't just be played out in the US. The NFL is taking a record nine regular-season games overseas, with games in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, and Mexico City. The 49ers will play the Rams in Melbourne, the Cowboys will face the Ravens in Rio, the Eagles will take on the Jaguars in London, and the Patriots and Lions will meet in Munich.

Watch Champions League 2026/27 live streams

Can anybody stop Paris Saint-Germain from making it three straight titles in the UEFA Champions League 2026/27? Despite a very ordinary start to the Ligue 1 season, it would still be a brave punter that bets against Luis Enrique's side from joining an elite group of clubs (Ajax, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid) that have won the competition three seasons running. And bringing in World Cup final scorer Ferran Torres as yet another attacking option certainly won't hurt their chances.

It's Europe's usual suspects that are most likely to stop them. Having taken PSG all the way to penalties in May's final, Arsenal are leading a five-strong EPL charge alongside Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and the Europa League-winning Aston Villa. Spain also has five sides entering this year's league phase, with La Liga champions Barcelona and 15-time winners Real Madrid with the title in their crosshairs, and Atlético Madrid, Real Betis and Villarreal all hoping to battle their way through to the knockouts.

Germany's Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Italy's Inter Milan and Napoli, and continent stalwarts such as PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands), Porto (Portugal) and Galatasary (Turkiye) are perennial threats. While it will be interesting to see who this year's Bodø/Glimt will be — could the likes of Como (Italy), LASK (Austria) or Sabah (Azerbaijan) cause some upsets?

Matchweek 1 (8th to 10th September) sees the reigning champions handed a relatively easy opener against Slovak minnows Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Wednesday, while Arsenal face a much trickier task with a visit to Napoli on the same day. Real Madrid vs Inter Milan (Tue.) is undoubtedly the most eye-catching tie of the round, with Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid (Wed.) and Bayern Munich vs Bodø/Glimt (Thu.) also standing out.

Follow our guide below for information on where to watch Champions League live streams in 2026/27 with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. We've also got details of the kick-off times for the next set of tournament fixtures.

How can I watch Champions League 2026/27 for free?

You can watch multiple UCL games free-of-charge in Ireland, Turkiye, Belgium and Luxembourg each matchweek.

Watch Argentina vs Australia 2nd Test live streams

After a stunner in San Salvador de Jujuy, the rugby teams of Argentina and Australia head south to Mendoza for the second and final Test match of their mini series.

With fairly fresh memories of their embarrassing 67-27 capitulation on Argentine soil two years ago, the Wallabies came out all guns blazing last week to record an impressive, hard-fought 27-21 win to maintain coach Les Kiss's perfect record since taking charge. Flanker Tom Hooper's 55th minute try to take the lead was ultimately enough to tip the evenly balanced scales in Australia's favour, following tries from Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Carter Gordon and Fraser McReight.

The win may have allowed the Aussies to leapfrog Argentina in the world rankings, but they'll have to respond to injuries to Hooper and Tate McDermott, with Ben Donaldson coming in at 10.

That will be a boost to Felipe Contepomi's men who are looking for a big push towards next year's Rugby World Cup. He's brought in four news faces to the starting XV, including his own replacement fly-half in Nicolás Roger. Can the Pumas bite back?

Watch South Africa vs New Zealand 3rd Test live streams

The niceties are out of the window ahead of the South Africa vs New Zealand 3rd Test, which isn't technically the decider but certainly feels that way. It's the last game of the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series to take place on South African soil, even if Soweto hasn't always felt like home for the Springboks.

They've played three games at the Calabash and lost two of them. The team that beat them on both occasions? That would be the All Blacks, by 22-29 in 2010, and by 16-32 two years later.

Despite being outscored by four tries to three, another flawless display of kicking by Cheslin Kolbe dragged South Africa level. Eben Etzebeth's interventions at the lineout were also crucial, causing New Zealand to turn the ball over three times in key areas of the pitch.

It's fair to say Dave Rennie didn't take the first defeat of his All Blacks tenure well. He said that the Boks props "walk around" the mark, triggering a full-scale feeding frenzy in the media.

Rassie Erasmus and forwards coach Daan Human were quick to bite back, though it's worth clarifying that Rennie's allegation didn't come entirely out of the blue. Erasmus, ever the provocateur, had already raised Rennie's ire by making wave after wave of last-minute changes to his starting lineup.

The shared flight to Baltimore next week should be interesting.

Follow our guide below for where to watch South Africa vs New Zealand 3rd Test live streams from anywhere with a VPN. We've also listed the full schedule and venues below.

How can I watch South Africa vs New Zealand 3rd Test for free?

The 3rd test of the South Africa vs New Zealand Test series will be broadcast on RugbyPass TV. It's also available to access via the RugbyPass app (iOS/Android).

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you – Pierre Gasly really is on pole for today's Italian Grand Prix. It's the Alpine man's first pole at the 190th time of asking and, even more extraordinarily, it comes six years to the day after his one and only F1 victory: 2020's Italian GP at Monza. The lights are set to go out at 9am ET / 2pm BST.

Find out as we show you how to watch Italian Grand Prix live streams for free from anywhere in the world.

Italian Grand Prix 2026 Schedule

(All times BST)

Sunday, 6th September
2pm – Italian Grand Prix

Italian Grand Prix 2026 Preview

Gasly is starting alongside George Russell on the front row of the grid. The pre-season favourite, who's trailing championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 59 points, needs to make the most of his teammate's relegation to the back of the grid for taking a new engine – a penalty that Russell himself will have to absorb sometime in the coming weeks.

What made Gasly's pole especially galling for Russell and Mercedes is that Antonelli spent much of Qualifying giving his teammate a tow.

It's safe to say there's no danger of Cupid being let loose on the Silver Arrows. Antonelli would have loved a crack at victory on home soil, but Toto Wolff doesn't do raomance. Instead, he'd decided that the Italian Grand Prix was the best place for Mercedes to replace his power unit – and thereby trigger a grid penalty. Spoilsport.

Oscar Piastri went third-fastest, but was handed a three-place penalty for impeding Liam Lawson, which moves Max Verstappen into the front five, behind Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, favourites of the Scuderia-mad tifosi.

Leclerc has won the Italian Grand Prix twice (2024, 2019) in the colours of Ferrari, prompting extraordinary scenes in the pitlane and grandstands on both occasions. Hamilton, a five-time winner of this race (2018, 2017, 2015, 2014, 2012), finished sixth on his first visit to the track as a Ferrari driver. If there's one race he'd like to win above any other, it's this – he'd be the first British driver to win the race for the Scuderia since John Surtees in 1964.

After back-to-back victories, reigning champion Lando Norris starts from eight.

Below we'll show you how to watch Italian Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world.

Watch US Open 2026 live streams

The world's biggest tennis stars have headed to the historic Flushing Meadows to do battle at the fourth and final Grand Slam of the 2026 season — the US Open. And we're serving up all the information you need to watch every match live and from anywhere.

While champion Carlos Alcaraz was passed fit enough to play in New York and progressed to the last eight in relative comfort, he was finally outdone in a 5-set epic against Ben Shelton. The Atlanta native then overcame countryman Frances Tiafoe to book a meeting with no. 1 seed Alexander Zverev who'll be playing in his third straight Grand Slam final.

Today (Sunday 13th September) only has one single match taking place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and it's that blockbuster final between the American and German. They're due on to court in the Arthur Ashes Stadium at 2pm ET.

It was hard to look past Aryna Sabalenka securing her third straight US Open title on the women's side and she was brilliant on her way through to yet another final. Having climbed to the summit of the world rankings and beaten Coco Gauff in a superb semi, however, Elena Rybakina was able to upset the champ and secure her second Slam of the season on Saturday.

US Open 2026 Preview

It's not often that the tennis calendar heads into its fourth and final major of the year having had six different Grand Slam winners (the last time was 2018), but a combination of fierce combination and a litany of injuries to top players means that no single player has managed to completely dominate 2026.

On the men's side, both the reigning US Open champion (Carlos Alcaraz) and incumbant world number 1 (Jannik Sinner), looked like they would recommence their intriguing rivalry at Flushing Meadows. But Sinner has had to pull out through injury, and Alcaraz has only just been passed fit from the wrist issues that meant he missed Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

It means the men's draw is wide open for another challenger to prevail. Alexander Zverev should probably be considered the player most likely after finally removing the 'nearly man' monkey from his back. His French Open victory proved to the world — and himself — that he could win on the biggest stages. And, after then reaching the Wimbledon final the very next month, he could easily begin racking up the Slams.

He'll have to get past four-time champion Novak Djokovic, of course, but his competition won't begin and end with the GOAT. Hot Canadian prospect Félix Auger-Aliassime has come on leaps and bounds this year, while Flavio Cobolli and Alex de Minaur have been two of the most consistent players on the tour.

There are plenty of Americans who will like their chances of ending the country's 23-year barren run at the majors, with Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Learner Tien and Brandon Nakashima all within the top 16 seeds. While Arthur Fils will try to ride the wave of momentum from his Cincinnati Open win last week.

Women's world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka has won the last two editions of the US Open and it's hard to look too far past her making it a third by the time the final rolls around on September 12.

Mirra Andreeva and Linda Nosková have both had breakout years to win their very first Slams, while number 2 seed Elena Rybakina took down Sabalenka in the Aussie Open for her first major win in nearly four years. All three will like their chances of a deep run at Queens, while previous winners Coco Gauff, Iga Świątek and Naomi Osaka will all also be in the conversation.

To thrill the crowds and pad the TV ratings, the legendary Williams sisters — Serena and Venus — have got a wildcard in the women's doubles. The 46-year-old two-time winner Venus is also set to play the singles.
