The Match has become an anticipated event on most golf fans’ calendars, and for its 10th edition the tournament is going to be bigger than ever. Dubbed The Match: Superstars, this latest iteration (the second in 2024) is going to feature eight avid amateur golfers from the celebrity and sports ranks competing in a two-night event.

What originally started as a one-vs-one match play event between iconic golfers Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson has grown to this anticipated event that brings together a wide range of participants for some entertaining golf in a more laid back environment (the ribbing between the players is always a highlight), as well as raising millions for charity. To date The Match has raised $41 million for various organizations and donated 27 million meals to Feeding America. This year, money is being raised for hurricane relief.

When is The Match and who is playing in it? Read on to get everything you need to know about the event.

The Match: Superstars date

After the first round of matches aired on November 21, the semifinals and finals of The Match: Superstars will be shown on TNT at 7:30 pm on Friday, November 22.

How to watch The Match: Superstars

Anyone who wants to watch The Match: Superstars live is going to have both a traditional TV option and a streaming option available to them.

First, TNT is handling the TV coverage of the event. The cable channel is available through traditional pay-TV providers and live TV streaming services like Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

If you’ve cut the cord on live TV channels, you can stream The Match: Superstars live on Max. It is not specified whether or not The Match: Superstars stream on Max will be its own special stream or if it falls under the B/R Sports add-on for the streamer. However, Max’s promotional offer of the B/R Sports add-on channel, where anyone who subscribes can access it for free, is still available, so really it’s a moot point.

There will be additional coverage on social and digital extensions via Bleacher Report and House of Highlights.

The Match: Superstars golfers

While there are no professional golfers competing in this version of The Match, some massive names are set to comprise the largest field ever for The Match. Here are the golfers for The Match: Superstars:

• Nate Bargatze, comedian
• Charles Barkley, NBA hall of famer, current TNT basketball analyst
• Wayne Gretzky, NHL hall of famer, current TNT hockey analyst
• Ken Griffey Jr., MLB hall of famer
• Blake Griffin, former NBA all-star
• Bill Murray, Oscar-nominated actor
• Michael Phelps, 28-time Olympic medalist
• Mark Wahlberg, Oscar-nominated actor

Of this group, Barkley is the only one to have previously participated in The Match, winning when paired with Phil Mickelson against Peyton Manning and Steph Curry.

The Match: Superstars format

With the expanded field, the format for The Match: Superstars is a little different than in past years, as it combines two vs two scramble matches (each player hits a shot, and the team picks the best ball to continue playing) and individual match play.

The competition began with the two vs two matches on November 21. Here are the pairings and winners (in bold):

• Michael Phelps/Mark Wahlberg vs Nate Bargatze/Blake Griffin
• Wayne Gretzky/Bill Murray vs Charles Barkley/Ken Griffey Jr.,

For the semifinals on Friday, November 22, the former teammates will face off, so its:

• Michael Phelps vs Mark Wahlberg
• Wayne Gretzky vs Bill Murray

The winners of those semifinal matches will then face each other in the finals.

The Match: Superstars commentators

Helping bring The Match: Superstars to fans is the commentating team for the event, led by Emmy-winner Ernie Johnson as the host, his fifth time calling The Match. He will be joined by Trevor Immelman, CBS golf analyst who still stay in that role for his eighth appearance on The Match; two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson as an on-course correspondent for the first time; and Kathryn Tappen working as a course reporter at The Match for a fourth time.

In addition to playing, Barkley will also be serving as an analyst for the broadcast, likely taking part in the booth when he is not competing (though I’m sure he, and all the golfers, will be mic’d up and chiming in throughout their time on the course).

The Match: Superstars golf course

This iteration of The Match is going to take place at The Breakers Rees Jones Course at The Breakers Rees Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. The course is a par 72.

How to watch US Olympic Trials

All of the US Olympic trials are going to be available on either NBC, USA Network, Peacock or an NBCUniversal digital app or website.

Just about all finals are going to air on NBC. In order to watch you must have a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service that carries NBC, which includes Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. You can also stream NBC coverage live if you are a subscriber to Peacock Premium Plus.

For coverage on USA Network, you must again have either a traditional pay-TV provider or a live TV streaming service that carries the cable channel (Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV).

Peacock is going to offer its own coverage of some events, either those that are airing in early morning/afternoon or particular events in track & field and gymnastics in case you want to focus on one thing rather than rely on NBC's coverage that will jump around a bit. Peacock's coverage is available for both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus subscribers.

In addition to Peacock, any other event that is labeled as "digital only" above should be available on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com and the NBC or NBC Sports apps.

Netflix is ramping up its sports offerings, with the streamer hosting its first-ever live sporting event, The Netflix Cup. The big event is taking place on Tuesday, November 14, but at what time is The Netflix Cup getting underway?

Pairing up professional PGA Tour golfers and Formula 1 drivers for a nine-hole match at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, sports fans/Netflix subscribers can watch The Netflix Cup starting at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT (11 pm UK) on November 14. The event should be easy to find on the Netflix home page once it is live, but you can also find a direct link to the live stream from The Netflix Cup event page on Netflix Tudum.

Of course, if you want to watch The Netflix Cup, you are going to need to have a Netflix subscription.

Netflix has been building its sports library for a while now, mostly with docuseries that provide full access to events and individual athletes like Quarterback, Break Point, Tour de France: Unchained, Drive to Survive and Full Swing. It's the last two series that are teaming up for The Netflix Cup.

Four F1 drivers and four PGA pros are teaming up to compete in the event: Lando Norris & Rickie Fowler, Carlos Sainz & Justin Thomas, Alex Albon & Max Homa and Pierre Gasly & Collin Morikawa. 

The event starts with two matches — Norris/Fowler vs Sainz/Thomas and Albon/Homa vs Gasly/Morrikawa. Using a scramble format (where each player hits a shot and picks the best one to play until they put the ball in the hole), each initial match will last eight holes. The winning teams in those matches will then play the deciding ninth hole, with the winning team of that hole then declared the first-ever Netflix Cup champion.

In addition to the golf action, The Netflix Cup is going to feature commentary by sportscaster Kay Adams, PGA golfer and Full Swing breakout Joel Dahmen, comedian Brett Kreischer and former NFL player Marshawn Lynch.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because it should. The Netflix Cup is the streamer adding its own spin to the format of The Match, which has been a popular golfing event that has seen pro athletes (golfers and those from other sports) play for charity.

Again, a Netflix subscription is necessary to watch The Netflix Cup. So if you're looking to add one in order to watch, you have a number of options to choose from, including an ad-supported tier that starts as low as $6.99 per month or an ad-free premium tier that costs $22.99 per month.

Badminton appears to have a new world record for the longest rally in competitive play after an epic 211-shot rally between Malaysian athletes Thinaah Muralitharan and Pearly Tan and Japan's Rena Miyaura and Ayako Sakuramoto.

The rally took place during the final set of their doubles match on Thursday, May 25 at the Malaysia Masters badminton tournament. Muralitharan and Tan had the lead at the moment the rally began, and it lasted for over three minutes straight.

Watch below — there are several moments where you think it will end, but then someone pulls out an amazing recovery shot! Here's the Badminton World Federation clip...

Thursday's rally is now being reported as having broken the record for the longest badminton rally in competitive play. The previous record-setting display—which lasted 195 shots—was produced at last year's Korea Open during another women's doubles match between South Korea's Baek Ha-na and Lee Yu-rim and China's Du Yue and Li Wenmei. 

Pearly Tan ultimately brought the exchange to an end with a deft drop shot which Ayako Sakuramoto was unable to return. Tan and Muralitharan (who are ranked 11th in the world) went on to seal the deal and win the match with a 21-17, 18-21, 21-19 victory. 

Muralitharan and Tan's reactions to the epic rally were shared in an article for The Guardian. "Winning the rally felt like winning the match. I also thought that we won after surviving the rally", Muralitharan said. "I was too excited that it was finally over because it was exhausting and we just wanted it to end fast.

"When it was over, I really needed a break and I threw the racket as collecting it from the ground gave me some time to rest", she added.

Tan chimed in: "We knew we were tired but the opponent was tired too. In our minds we wanted to win that shot, so we just mentally prepared ourselves very well and I'm so happy we won the point."

Tan and Muralitharan advance to face South Korea's Kim Hye-jeong and Jeong Na-eun in the Semi-Finals on Saturday, May 27 at 1.30 am ET/6.30 am UK time. 

The Malaysia Masters 2023 tournament continues through to Sunday, May 28. 

The Last Of Us fans won't have to miss out on Super Bowl 2023 this weekend, as HBO has revealed that the next episode will premiere early in the US!

Instead of the usual Sunday night slot on HBO and HBO Max, the next installment of The Last Of Us is dropping two days early on Friday, February 10 at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT on HBO On Demand and HBO Max.

This means you'll still be able to catch all the action from the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona as the Philadelphia Eagles face off against the Kansas City Chiefs (which gets underway at 6.30 pm ET/ 3.30 pm PT on Sunday, February 12 on Fox).

Aside from this small schedule change, new episodes of The Last Of Us will continue to air on Sundays at 9 pm ET/ PT, with the season finale coming on March 12, 2023. 

HBO is likely trying to maintain the momentum that the series has been enjoying by ensuring their audience doesn't have to decide whether to tune into the Super Bowl or find out what Joel and Ellie (Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey) get up to next. 

Figures from the latest episode were not available at the time of writing, but episode 3 of the series saw an additional 12% of viewers tuning in for a total of 6.4 million Sunday night viewers (a 37% rise from the series' debut in January). This marks the first time HBO has had four current TV shows tracking at over 15 million viewers per episode (when you account for delayed viewership): The Last Of Us, The White Lotus, Euphoria, and House of the Dragon. 

The one thing this does mean is that UK viewers are going to have to be even more vigilant for spoilers, as there's no word on whether the episode will be released early across the pond to compensate.

UPDATE: It has since been confirmed that episode 5 will also stream early on NOW and Sky TV from 2 am on Saturday, February 11 (before airing on Monday morning as normal) to coincide with the early release in the United States.

*the rest of this article contains mild spoilers for The Last Of Us season 1*

If you're not already caught up just yet, The Last Of Us episode 4 saw Joel and Ellie continue their journey after having restocked for their journey at Bill and Frank's compound in Lincoln. They were en route to try and track down Tommy (Gabriel Luna), Joel's brother in the hopes that he'd know where Ellie could be handed over to the Fireflies.

Having stocked up, they hit the road again and reached Kansas City, though they soon came across some less than friendly revolutionary group (headed up by Melanie Lynskey's villainous figure, Kathleen) that had taken over control of the area from FEDRA...

The Women's Euro 2022 final will see England face Germany in front of a packed Wembley, after the Lionesses defeated Sweden in Tuesday's semi-final. 

It will be England's first major final since 2009 and they will be hoping to win their first ever major title. 

When England last hosted the tournament in 2005, it barely registered with the public, but the rising profile of the women's game means millions have been gripped by football fever over the last few weeks. 

Nearly 10m people tuned in to watch England’s victory over Sweden in the semi-final on BBC1, with fans will dreaming of glory after scoring four against the tournament's highest ranked team. 

After crashing out in the semi-finals of Euro 2017, this time Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses will be hoping to go one better and lift the trophy on Sunday. Here's how you can follow all the action... 

When is the Women's Euro 2022 final? 

The Women's Euro 2022 final will be played on Sunday 31st July at Wembley Stadium in London, kick-off will be 5pm. 

Sarina Wiegman will be taking charge of her second consecutive final, after taking the Netherlands all the way in 2017. Meanwhile Britta Carlson will take charge of the Germans, who are hoping to win their ninth Euro title. 

How can I watch the Women's Euro 2022 final for free in the UK?

The game will be broadcast live on BBC1 and you can stream it on the BBC iPlayer. Gabby Logan will be joined by Alex Scott, Ian Wright and other guests as coverage begins at 3.50pm, bringing all the build-up ahead of kick-off at 5pm.

Want to watch the World Athletics Championships online? Here's where you need to go.

The world's best track and field stars are set to descend on Hayward Field stadium in Eugene, Oregon for the 18th edition of the Championships this July, the first time that the event has been hosted in the USA.

Over 10 packed days, 2000 athletes will battle for supremacy in 49 events at the biggest track and field competition outside of the Olympics. 

With huge names like Dina Asher-Smith, Allyson Felix, Karsten Warholm and Mondo Duplantis as well as exciting head-to-heads — Gianmarco Tamberi vs Mutaz Barshim  (High Jump) and Sydney McLaughlin vs Dalilah Muhammad (400m) in the mix, there are bound to be plenty of thrilling highlights throughout the entire event. 

Here's how to watch a 2022 World Athletic Championships live stream wherever you are in the world right now. 

What's the schedule for the Athletics Championships?

Full details of the Championships timetable can be found on the World Athletics website. Most days there's a morning session which starts around 9.30 am local time and an evening session which starts around 5 pm.

All events are shown in local time (Oregon, where the Championships are being held, is on the west coast of America, which is GMT-8 time zone). For Europeans trying to watch event finals and afternoon sessions, this will mean lots of late nights/early mornings. Or, if you're not a night owl, catch up on events over breakfast!

Watch the World Athletics Championships live stream for FREE

There are a few countries that have free World Athletics Championships live streams available throughout the competition. Here's the full breakdown:

• Canada - CBC
• UK - BBC iPlayer
• Australia - Kayo Sports (with a 14-day free trial)

Don't forget that if you're a Canadian, Australian and British sports fan you can tune in to these services even if you're away from home using a VPN.

Watch the World Athletics Championships for FREE in the UK on BBC iPlayer

As long as you have a valid TV license, you'll be able to watch a whole host of the action from the 2022 World Athletics Championships for free in the UK. That's because the Beeb will have live coverage of all 10 days of the event available.

Watch the World Athletics Championships live in the US without cable

Watch on Peacock

US coverage of the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon is being shown on Peacock, NBC, USA Network and CNBC.

Most days the live streaming starts around 3 pm (Peacock) and 5 pm (NBC, USA Network and CNBC) for the day's main session. There are some morning events — heats, road races and the Decathlon — these are mainly shown on Peacock.

To stream the show without cable, your first port of call should be Peacock. With a Peacock Premium membership (starting at $4.99 a month for the ad-supported tier) Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch the bulk of the event live without picking up an expensive cable package. 

Watch on FuboTV

Alternatively, you can get all the channels you'll need to watch the event with an OTT streaming service like FuboTV (in select markets). 

Fubo is a great replacement for a cable subscription. You can get 124 channels including the ones showing the athletics Championships — USA Network, CNBC and NBC — with the FuboTV Pro plan which costs $69.99 a month. There's also a FuboTV free trial available for new customers.

Watch on Sling TV

Sling TV is also another solid option for catching the 2022 World Athletics Championships. With the Sling Blue package, you get access to both NBC and USA Network (in select markets). You can pick up CNBC as part of a $6/month add-on package, but NBC has the same coverage of the same events as CNBC, so paying the extra isn't worth it.

Right now, you can also get your first month of Sling Blue for half the price.

Here's how to get the England vs India 5th Test live stream from anywhere as the postponed match continues.

You might be confused about why England are suddenly playing a Test against India after just completing a series with New Zealand.

Well the match was rearranged from last year because the match originally scheduled in September 2021 had to be cancelled due a Covid outbreak in the India squad.

India are leading the series 2-1, so this is a chance for England to belatedly level the series.

England will be a very different proposition to the side India faced last year. As demonstrated in their 3-0 win over New Zealand, England are now adopting the same aggressive style they’ve been using in the One Day game and so far it’s working.

Ben Stokes is England’s new captain and he will be hoping England can beat an Indian side packed with amazing talent.

Stoke has promised England will go for it again, saying to the BBC: "It is different opposition but I made it very clear after the New Zealand series how we're going to do things and we're going to go out there and try to operate in the same way."

He added: "I know the bigger picture of it — trying to draw a series — but every game for me, so early on in my captaincy and trying to rebuild this team, is bigger than results."

It will be interesting to see what plan the Indian bowlers come up with to try and get out Jonny Bairstow, who’s in the Test form of his life.

You probably need a reminder of what’s happened so far in the series. India won the 1st Test at Lord’s easily by 151 runs, England leveled the series in the 2nd Test. But India regained the lead at the 4th Test at The Oval.

England go into the final day amazingly as favorites to win the match. Wind back to yesterday morning and India looked firmly on course for victory. But England have continued their attacking style of cricket and it’s clearly working. It will be England’s highest ever Test chase, but a few early wickets and things could unravel quickly…

Edgbaston weather forecast for Test

Looking sunny for the rest of the match.

Bundesliga, roughly translated, means "national league." It's the top level in which you can play in Germany. It's like the Premier League in England. Or Serie A in Italy. Or La Liga in Spain.

As the Bundesliga has continued, Bayern Munich has built up a decent lead at the top of the league. Currently, they have 72 points in the Bundesliga, putting them 9 points ahead of the second-place team, Borussia Dortmund (on 63 points). This puts them on track to secure the club's tenth consecutive title victory.

Here's how to watch Bundesliga soccer in 2022 so you can keep up with the top German league as the season continues.

How to watch the Bundesliga in the United States

ESPN Plus became the home of the Bundesliga in the US last year, and the network has committed to comprehensive coverage of the game for the second year running, with over 300 live Bundesliga matches set to air exclusively on ESPN Plus this season.

ESPN Plus has become the go-to service for anyone who loves live sports. There's just not enough room on traditional television for the sheer amount of games being played around the world on any given day or weekend, and that's where streaming comes in.

Without the shackles of "channels," ESPN Plus is able to bring you every Bundesliga game on the schedule. Five games playing at the same time? No problem. You can pick and choose what you want to watch, and flip back and forth without any effort whatsoever.

In addition to all the live events, ESPN Plus also has a smattering of original content and bits and pieces from the terrestrial side of the network, too.

How to watch the Bundesliga in the UK

You might be expecting to head over to BT Sport to watch Bundesliga football in the UK, but you'd be wrong. BT's contract with the German league expired at the end of the previous season.

If you're a German football fan in the UK and Ireland, you'll now find Bundesliga football on Sky TV. Sky signed an exclusive, four-year contract earlier this year, making Sky Sports the new home of the top German football league. 

This agreement covers the regular top-flight league and coverage of the German Super Cup, which was won this season by Bayern Munich on Tuesday, August 17, 2021.

Sky Sports kicked off its coverage with the first game of the season and continues to show one premium fixture every weekend live on Saturdays at 5:30 pm on Sky Sports Football, with additional games being shown on other linear and digital Sky Sports channels including Sky Sports YouTube.

Which teams are in the Bundesliga this season?

Like other European football leagues, the teams in the Bundesliga change every year. 18 teams compete in the league each year, but the bottom two teams are automatically "relegated" and drop to the league below, the 2. Bundesliga, replaced by the top-two finishers from 2. Bundesliga.

The third-lowest team in the Bundesliga also plays the third-highest team from the 2. Bundesliga and the winner takes up the final place in the following Bundesliga season.

The teams competing this year are: 

• Arminia Bielefeld

How to watch Serie A online in the USA

Serie A's got a new home in the United States this season. CBS Sports secured the exclusive rights to broadcast Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Supercoppa Italiana for the next three years earlier this year, so now you'll find Serie A soccer on Paramount Plus.

This deal will see over 400 Italian club matches airing exclusively on Paramount Plus, including all 380 games from Serie A. Select matches will also be televised on other CBS platforms, including CBS Sports Network.

Serie A isn't the only soccer competition you'll find on Paramount Plus. CBS already had the rights to the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, the NWSL, and Argentina's Liga Profesional de Futbol, among others. 

Alongside international football, you'll also find college basketball and football, golf, and the NFL on CBS.  That's on top of all the Paramount Plus Originals, films, and TV shows that are already available on the platform as well.

There are currently two plans Paramount Plus plans on offer: an ad-supported "Essential" plan that costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year (and does not include your local live CBS station). If you want to watch without ads and get access to your local CBS station, you can opt for the "Premium" plan which costs $9.99 a month (or $99.99 a year). This ad-free tier does not remove ads from live broadcasts, though.

Which teams are in Serie A this season?

The 2021-22 Premier League is now well underway, and here's how to watch every Premier League 2021/22 game live. 

For those not in the know, the Premier League is the top tier of football over in the UK. It's similar to the Bundesliga in Germany, La Liga in Spain, or Serie A over in Italy. 

As the competition rages on, Manchester City and Liverpool continue to vie for the top spot. City is currently just out in front thanks to a one-point lead over Liverpool (74 points to Liverpool's 73).

These two top clubs actually just met in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday, April 16. During that match, Liverpool triumphed 3-2 and knocked City out of the tournament. Could The Reads be on track to overtake them in the Premier League table, too?

Here's how to watch the 2021/22 Premier League season live online so you can keep up with all the action as the season rages on.

How to watch the Premier League in the United States

If you're wanting to watch the Premier League in the US, it's nice and easy. That's because NBCUniversal has the rights to every single game, so you can watch the entire season (all 380 matches) across NBC's platforms.

Most folks will find games on NBCSN (with a few spread across CNBC, USA, or NBC proper), which is available on every cable service or major streaming platform.

The most economical way to get NBCSN if you don't already have it is to sign up for the Sling Blue package on Sling TV. On its own, it costs $35 a month and gets you more than 40 channels — including NBCSN. But you can do even better if you pair it up with the Sling Orange plan, for $50 a month.

Premier League games on NBC and NBCSN will also be streamed at the NBCSports website and on the NBC Sports app.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. For the full experience and access to all the Premier League games in the United States, you're going to need a subscription to Peacock — NBCUniversal's dedicated streaming service.

There's a catch, though. The free tier of Peacock isn't going to get the job done. You'll need a paid subscription to Peacock Premium . For $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, you can get the ad-supported version of Peacock Premium. If you don't want to see any ads, you can spend an additional $5 a month (or pay $99.99 annually). 

Either of these packages will allow you to watch live sports like the English Premier League and get you access to Peacock Originals, late-night talk shows, and next-day access to returning broadcast series.

How to watch the Premier League in the UK

Despite the UK being the home of the Premier League, watching your favorite team can be a bit tricky. For a start, not every game is televised owing to the blackout rule. Even if the game you're after is one of the 200 available to watch live, you'll then have to figure out whether to stream it on Sky Sports, Prime Video, and BT Sport.

As per usual, Sky Sports will be home to the bulk of the televised games this year. However, there are still 52 which are exclusive to BT Sport this season and there's a decent amount of upcoming games exclusive to the latter service. So, it's definitely worth considering if you want complete access to all the televised games this season. 

What teams are in the Premier League in 2022?

One of the coolest things about the Premier League — especially when compared to professional sports in the United States — is that the teams change a bit every season. The bottom three teams in the Premier League at the end of the season (based on points) are "relegated" down one level to the English Football League Championship. (Also known as the Sky Bet Championship.) And the top two teams from the EFL are promoted to the Premier League. (A third team joins them after a little mini-tournament between the Nos. 3-6 teams in the EFL.)

It's great because it puts some real stakes on the season. It's not just about money — it's also about the indignity of being sent down a level. And it gives teams in the lower leagues impetus to play harder (and spend more money) to reach the top level. After the 2020-21 season, Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield United were relegated to the EFL, while Brentford, Norwich City and Watford were promoted.

It's roughly the equivalent of a Triple-A Minor League Baseball Team — say, the Durham Bulls — being promoted to Major League Baseball, and the Miami Marlins being sent down to Triple-A for the next season.

Here are the 20 teams that are competing in the Premier League in the 2021-22 season:

• Arsenal
• Aston Villa
• Brentford (promoted)
• Brighton and Hove Albion
• Burnley
• Chelsea
• Crystal Palace
• Everton
• Leeds United
• Leicester City
• Liverpool
• Manchester City
• Manchester United
• Newcastle United
• Norwich City (promoted)
• Southampton
• Tottenham Hotspur
• Watford (promoted)
• West Ham United
• Wolverhampton Wanderers

Who won the Premier League in 2021?

The current Premier League champions are Manchester City. They secured the title last season after Manchester United defeater Leicester City, which meant City could no longer be caught by another team before the season concluded.

Premier League 2021-22 fixtures

Below you'll find a list of upcoming fixtures, updated throughout the 2021-22 season. You'll find the local kick-off time, as well as where you need to head to watch each match. All fixtures are subject to change.

Please note: NBC and Peacock are showing every single match in the US, but not all games are televised in the UK due to football black-out rules. If scheduling info is missing, it will be added as and when it becomes available.

Want to watch the Bahrain GP 2022 online? Here's how you can catch the first race of the 2022 Formula 1 season.

It's been a long time coming, but the new F1 calendar is here. After a hotly-contested race to the finish with Lewis Hamilton, Red Bull's Max Verstappen was crowned the 2021 F1 Champion for the very first time.

Just like last year, the 2022 Formula 1 calendar begins with the Bahrain GP, which is scheduled to begin at 11 am ET / 3 pm UK time on Sunday, March 20.

If you need a refresher on how to watch Formula 1 online, we've put together this guide to ensure you won't miss the start of what's bound to be another action-packed F1 season.

So, here's how to watch the Bahrain GP 2022 online so you can catch the first race of 2022.

How to watch the Bahrain GP 2022 online from anywhere in the world

There's a handy way to watch your favorite shows and sports— including F1— from wherever you are in the world, and it's called a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

With a VPN, you can get around the usual digital barriers by changing your IP address. This means you can watch what you want even if you're going to be away from home.

Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which will let your change your IP address on whichever device you want to ensure you can stream Formula 1 online, wherever you are in the world.

ExpressVPN is available on laptops, smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks, games consoles, and even mobile phones and will make your device think it's in a different part of the world to ensure you can catch the next race.

ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs available right now. Not only is it straightforward and easy to use, but it also has great security and even comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ExpressVPN is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now. You can try it for a month without paying a single penny. Plus, if you sign up for the annual plan you can get 3 months' access absolutely free!

How to watch the Bahrain GP 2022 online in the US

Formula 1 is broadcast on ESPN in the US, so if you're looking to stream the new season, you'll need access to a service that carries the network. Luckily for F1 fans, that leaves them with plenty of options; ESPN is currently available on Sling TV, F1 TV, FuboTV, YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV.

We think the best option for Formula 1 fans is Sling TV. ESPN is available on the Sling Orange package. For just $35 a month, Sling Orange will get you ESPN along with 31 other channels such as Freeform, CNN and the Disney Channel. Plus, if you want to build out your coverage, you can add smaller packages with Sling Extras, or combine your subscription with Sling Blue to get access to 53 live channels for $50 a month.

If you're after a more definitive TV package, FuboTV is also a great choice, as it's all about sports. FuboTV carries ESPN so you'll be able to catch the Bahrain GP and many more upcoming races to boot, but it also has a number of premium add-ons that can get you so much more sport than any other provider.

The basic plan (which comes with ESPN) costs $64.99 a month and comes with over 100 channels, 250 hours of DVR space and the ability to watch on three devices at once. 

For an extra $15 a month, you could go for the Fubo Elite package. This will get you 159 channels, 1000 hours of DVR, Fubo extra access and you'll be able to watch up to ten streams at a time. 

How to watch the Bahrain GP 2022 online in the UK

There are no changes to where you'll be watching F1 in the UK, as Sky has the broadcasting rights to Formula 1 in the UK up until the end of 2024 (barring the British GP, which is also shared with Channel 4).

So, you'll find every single race event throughout the 2022 F1 calendar—including the Bahrain Grand Prix—on Sky Sports F1. If you're a Sky Sports customer, you can tune into the race on the Sky Go app if you're going to be away from your TV, and if you're a Sky Q customer, you can sign up for the Sky Sports Ultra HD package to watch every single race in 4K.

You can also stream Formula 1 with a NOW Sports Pass. A monthly subscription to NOW Sports normally costs £33.99 a month, but there's currently a 9-month long offer that will let you stream the entire F1 season for £20 a month. This offer comes with a free month of NOW Boost which will auto-renew for £5 extra a month unless you cancel it.

How to watch the Bahrain GP on F1 TV

The official Formula One Federation, FIA, has its own paid streaming service available if you want the ultimate in F1 access. The plan includes access to content from F1, F2, F3, and Porsche Supercup levels, along with a catalog of past races.

F1TV offers two different subscription plans. F1TV Access costs $27 /£19.99 per year and offers on-demand replays and highlights from F1, F2, F3, and Porsche Supercup races from the F1 archive along with access to exclusive documentaries.

If you want to watch the Bahrain GP live on F1 TV, you'll need to spring for F1TV Pro. This package costs $9.99 a month (or $80 a year), and it gets you everything available in the basic package along with live streams and on-demand full race replays of every on-track session plus access to driver team radio and onboard cameras live.

Roughly speaking, watching the entire 2022 Formula 1 calendar on F1 TV will cost you less than $4 per Grand Prix on the annual plan. If you want to try the service out, there's even a seven-day free trial on offer.

Do be aware that F1 TV Pro is not available in the UK, owing to that exclusive deal with Sky we mentioned earlier.

The men's final is almost upon us and the very last event of the first Grand Slam of the year is shaping up to be a good one, although it would be hard to beat the women's final for sheer history-making excitement. Ash Barty's Open win made her the first Australian to win a singles title, at a home Grand Slam, in 44 years.

However, there's a chance that the new Australian Open men's champ could make a little history of his own. Without Novak Djokovic defending his title, the door is open for Spain's Rafael Nadal to walk away with a 21st Grand Slam title —he'd be the first man to achieve that. It would be a feat and a half for Nadal, who hasn't won in Melbourne since 2009 and has recently recovered from a foot injury, but who knows... Lady Luck may well be on his side.

On paper though, Daniil Medvedev probably has the edge. The Russian player is world no. 2 (to Nadal's no. 6 ranking) and after his defeat, by Nadal, at the 2019 US Open, he's bound to have some scores to settle.

The men's final is the final event of the Australian Open and is scheduled to take place on Sunday, Jan. 30, just one day after the women's final. Here's how to watch wherever you are.

When is the Australian Open men's final?

The men's final takes place on Sunday, Jan. 30 in the Rod Laver Stadium, Melbourne. The match is due to start off at 3.30 am (ET), 8.30 am (in the UK), which is 7.30 pm in Melbourne.

Want to know how to watch the Australian Open women's final? Here's how you can catch the action from the first Grand Slam of the year.

Ashleigh Barty is on the brink of making history. Australia hasn't had a women's singles finalist since Wendy Turnbull took on Hana Mandlíková in 1980. Following her victory over Madison Keys on Jan. 27, Barty has become the first Australian woman to make it to the final stage of the tournament in 42 years. 

She is yet to drop a set in the tournament and goes into the women's final as the favorite to win, but she faces some stiff competition from her opponent, Danielle Collins.

Collins has roared back to top form. Although she underwent surgery for endometriosis just last year, she has reached her first Grand Slam final with a fantastic win against Polish player, Iga Świątek.

The pair will take to the court at Melbourne Park on Saturday, Jan. 29, with the Australian Open men's final taking place the following day.

Will Ash Barty become the first-ever Australian woman to win the Open on home turf? Or will Danielle Collins upset the current world number one and take home the victory? Here's how to watch the women's final wherever you are...

Here's how to watch Ashes 2021 online from anywhere in the world.

England has at least managed to avoid a whitewash but is still 3-0 in the series having been completely outplayed by Australia so far in the series.

Hobart is excitingly hosting its first Ashes Test, which adds interest to the game which is being played at the Bellerive Oval. It's also a day/night match which in theory helps the tourists as the ball should move about more.

England, though, has been hit by a string of injuries, which led to Sam Billings making an amazing 500 miles dash across Australia to join the side.

Billings had been playing in the Big Bash and was about to head home when he got the call to come and help England. And, as a Covid, precaution he drove the huge distance rather than getting a flight.

So, can England rescue a bit more pride? Or will Australia bulldoze its way through England's fragile batting line-up once again?

How to watch the Ashes for free in Australia

Cricket fans in Australia can also watch every game for free on Channel 7. Ian Botham and Ricky Ponting will be leading Channel 7’s coverage. Plus, rather more unusually, Stephen Fry is also part of the team!

There's, unfortunately, no coverage on the 7Plus streaming service as previously reported.

If you don't want ads, you can live stream the Ashes with the great value streaming service Kayo Sports, currently offering a Free 14-Day trial.

You can use a VPN if you're not in Australia right now to watch the cricket. How to do that below...

The Abu Dhabi GP is the final race of the 2021 F1 Championship. After the Jeddah Street Circuit made its debut last weekend, the battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is about as close as it could possibly be.

Hamilton claimed his third consecutive victory at the Saudi Arabian GP, preventing Verstappen from claiming the title.

Hamilton is now on the cusp of claiming his 8th F1 Championship win, but Verstappen is not going to give up his chances of claiming his first title without a fight.

England v Hungary is the next challenge for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions who will now have their sights firmly set on a World Cup win. Here's how you can watch England v Hungary online tonight. 

After losing to Italy in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out at the Euros earlier this year, the England squad will be looking to return to form as the qualifying stages for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar resume.

So far, the England team has had an unbeaten run of qualifiers for next year's World Cup. Their first match came in March 2021, where they defeated San Marino 5-0 at Wembley Stadium in London. 

After that, they headed to Tirana to face Albania on home turf just a few days later and beat them 2-0. They then secured a 2-1 win over Poland at Wembley, after Harry Maguire scored in the 85th minute.

Their match against Hungary tonight is likely to be their trickiest yet. Hungary currently sits at second place with 7 points, just two points behind England in Group I. 

Will England consolidate their lead and strengthen their chances of appearing in the World Cup next year tonight? Here's how to watch England v Hungary to find out!

Le Mans 2021 is finally upon us, and here's how to watch Le Mans 2021 from anywhere in the world!

The oldest endurance race around is back, less than a year after the last edition of the annual event took place in September 2020. 

Le Mans 2021 was delayed slightly from its original date in June. Thankfully, this meant the race would not be held behind closed doors, and that fans would be able to attend the event in person once again.

2021 marks the debut of a brand new class of vehicles, as the long-standing LMP1 class will be replaced by the new Le Mans Hypercar class as the top for the very first time. This year also sees the return of the "innovative car" category.

Pierre Filon, President of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (the organizers of Le Mans), said: “This year, the 24 Hours of Le Mans enters a new era. The introduction of Hypercars promises to bring even more spine-tingling action to the endurance racetrack.

"Sixty-two cars will line up for this 89th 24 Hours of Le Mans. In these challenging times, this number is a strong signal that our discipline is more appealing than ever before. We are eager to welcome fans once again to the racetrack to experience this historic edition together."

It's nearly time for the drivers to take to the track near the town of Le Mans in France, so here's how to watch Le Mans 2021 live so you don't miss anything!

When is Le Mans 2021?

The 24 Hours of Le Mans will take place on August 21-22 this year.

Who won Le Mans 2020?

Unlike fixed-distance races, the winner at Le Mans is the vehicle that travels the greatest distance during the whole race. Last year, Toyota Gazoo Racing won the LMP1 class for the third year in a row. 

Their drivers (Kazuki Nakajima, Sébastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley) pushed their Toyota TS050 Hybrid over the finish line ahead of Rebellion Racing's R13-Gibson (piloted by Bruno Senna, Norman Nato and Gustavo Menezes) and their Toyota sister car driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José-Maria Lopez.

In the LMP2 class, United Autosports' team of Filipe Albuquerque, Philip Hanson and Paul di Resta claimed victory, with Aston Martin Racing's Alex Lynn, Maxime Martin and Harry Tincknell securing a win in the LMGTE Pro category. 

TF Sport's Jonathan Adam, Charlie Eastwood and Salih Yoluç took the win in the LMGTE Amateur class. They finished just 49 seconds ahead of the Dempsey-Proton racing squad comprised of Matt Campbell, Riccardo Pera and Christian Ried.

This wasn't just a drastic improvement on their 16th place finish in 2020, but it also marks the Hammers' return to European football for the first time since the 2016/17 season, as their 6th-place finish has qualified them for the group stages of the Europa League.

After a relatively quiet transfer period for West Ham, Manager David Moyes will need to keep up that momentum in the new season. Will West Ham manage to equal their result this season? 

Here's how to watch West Ham United in the Premier League so you can keep up with all the action.

How to watch West Ham United in the United States

West Ham United supporters in the US have it far easier than their friends across the pond, as NBCUniversal are broadcasting all 380 games from the current Premier League season.

Most of NBC's Premier League coverage that's on TV will be on NBCSN but a handful of games will instead show up on CNBC or NBC proper. Handily, these channels can be found on every single cable service or live TV streaming platform in the US.

The most cost-effective way to ensure you get NBCSN is with Sling TV's Sling Blue package. Sling Blue gets you over 40 channels, including NBCSN. You can try out Sling TV with a free trial, but after that it'll cost you $35 a month. If you want to add even more TV channels, you can pair your subscription up with Sling Orange for an extra $15 a month, getting you over 50 TV channels in total.

The only hitch is that not all Premier League matches are being shown on NBC TV channels, as plenty of them will be exclusive to Peacock Premium this season. So, if you want to keep up with every single match (including Leicester City's EPL campaign), you'll need to be a paying Peacock Premium subscriber.

APeacock Premium subscription costs $4.99 a month (or $49.99 a year) for the ad-supported tier, but you can get rid of those ads if you pay an extra $5 a month (or $99 annually).

Either one of these packages gets you access to plenty of live sport including the English Premier League as well as access to watch Peacock Originals, late-night talk shows, and offering you the ability to watch returning broadcast series the day after they air.

Sky Sports is the place to be for West Ham supporters who want to watch their club in action. The Hammers' first two matches against Newcastle United and Leicester City will both be broadcast on Sky Sports, and the televised matches in October will also be appear on Sky Sports too. 

If you're after complete Premier League coverage, then you'll also need BT Sport access as well, as BT has 52 exclusive matches this season.

Later in 2021, Amazon also has two full rounds of Premier League football. So, if you want to watch West Ham take on Brighton and Watford later in the year, you'll need to have an Amazon Prime subscription.

Want to know how to watch Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League?

Tottenham Hotspur has dominated the transfer window as of late owing to the rumoured departure of the club's totem, Harry Kane. He has made no secret of his wish to depart the team, and Manchester City are reportedly trying to add him to their ever-growing roster of top-tier players.

Spurs had an early unbeaten run in last year's Premier League but then suffered a bit of a slump, finishing just one point ahead of Arsenal in 7th place. With the sacking of Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff in April 2021, there's been plenty of upheaval off the pitch, too. 

However, the club has generally put in very strong performances in pre-season friendlies, so it looks like Tottenham's new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, might be able to bring the North London club closer to Premier League glory once again this year.

Here's how to watch Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League!

How to watch Tottenham Hotspur in the US

US-based Tottenham Hotspur supporters will be delighted to know that NBCUniversal is showing all 380 English Premier League matches this season either on TV or on Peacock

Most games being broadcast live on TV will be on NBCSN but a few will instead appear either on CNBC or NBC proper. Luckily, these channels can be found on every single cable service or live TV streaming platform in the US.

The most cost-effective way of getting NBCSN if you don't have access already is with Sling TV's Sling Blue package. Picking up this package gets you over 40 channels, including NBCSN. You can try out Sling TV with a free trial, but after that Sling Blue will cost you $35 a month. If you want access to even more TV channels, you can pair it up with Sling Orange for an extra $15 a month to get access to 50+ TV channels.

The only catch here is that Premier League games are exclusive to Peacock Premium. So, if you want to keep up with every single match (including all of Tottenham Hotspur's matches), you'll need to be a paying Peacock Premium subscriber.

Peacock Premium costs just $4.99 a month (or $49.99 annually) for the ad-supported tier, but you can get rid of any ads by paying an extra $5 a month (or $99 a year).

Either of these packages will get you access to plenty of live sport including the Premier League, as well as Peacock Originals, late-night talk shows, and next-day access to returning broadcast series.

How to watch Tottenham Hotspur in the UK

As with most other teams, the obvious choice for watching the majority of Tottenham Hotspur's matches is with Sky Sports. They get the lion's share of Premier League broadcasts, and this season is no different. Sky has Spurs' first game of the season against Manchester City as well as later clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal later down the line.

However, you'll still need access to BT Sport if you want to watch as many Tottenham Hotspur games as possible in the UK, as they'll be showing Tottenham's match against Crystal Palace in September. As BT has 52 exclusive matches this season, there's a solid chance that more Tottenham games will air on BT Sport later down the line, too.

Don't forget that Amazon will show two full rounds of the Premier League on Amazon Prime. So, if you want to watch Spurs take on Southampton and Brentford this winter, you'll need to have access to Amazon Prime.

Want to know how to watch Leicester City in the Premier League? 

Leicester City put in a decent performance in last year's Premier League season. They spent the majority of the season within the top four, but wilted towards the end of their campaign, sneaking ahead of West Ham by just 1 point to finish in fifth place overall. However, the club did still claim their first-ever FA Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea back in May.

With a squad that's definitely improving and a handful of players set to make a comeback, is this the year the Foxes really shine?

Here's how to watch Leicester City in the Premier League to find out!

How to watch Leicester City in the UK

As football fans know, not every game is shown live in the UK, but Leicester City supporters will be particularly disappointed to see that their club isn't getting a whole lot of love from either Sky Sports or BT Sport at the start of the season. 

Aside from their match-up with West Ham on the 23rd of August, there isn't another match being shown by either broadcaster until the Foxes take on Crystal Palace in October. Both of these matches will be shown on Sky Sports, so if you want to watch live Sky Sports is your best bet to keep up. 

One place we do know you'll be able to watch Leicester City play is Amazon Prime. Amazon has the rights to two full rounds of the Premier League towards the end of 2021, so you'll definitely be able to see the team in action on Amazon Prime closer to Christmas.

Liverpool are regularly among the top contenders in the Premier League. With the latest season now just days away, the Reds will no doubt have their sights set on reclaiming the top spot which they last held in 2020.

Last season, Liverpool claimed a third-place finish the Premier League. They started out looking very strong in the early season but suffered a run of losses at home before bringing things back by winning eight of their final 10 matches in the 2019/20 season. Seeing as their defence was plagued by injuries and other players had to be moved around to plug those gaps, securing third place was no mean feat. 

With the club bolstered by the recoveries of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip, will they be up to challenging Manchester City for the win this year? Here's how to follow Liverpool in the Premier League to find out!

Looking for Arsenal's Premier League matches? We've got you covered. 

Arsenal finished the previous season at 8th place in the Premier League for the second year running. They were also unable to defend their 2020 FA Cup title win that manager Mikel Arteta led them to last year, either. 

Hopefully, that FA Cup upset and the recent losses against fellow Premier League teams Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in pre-season friendlies aren't a sign of things to come for the Gunners this season. Will they be able to bounce back and climb the Premier League table once more?

If you're a UK-based Arsenal fan, to watch the most televised games you're best served by a Sky Sports subscription. The vast majority of their televised games at the start of the season are being shown by Sky including Arsenal's opening match-up against Premier League newcomers, Brentford.

If you're wondering how to watch Chelsea in the Premier League now that we're days away from the start of the season, wonder no more.

Chelsea had a pretty solid season last year, despite the disruption caused by the sacking of their manager Frank Lampard in January. Lampard was replaced by former PSG player and boss, Thomas Tuchel. 

Under Tuchel, Chelsea finished just two points behind Liverpool and came fourth in the Premier League 2020/21. They also saw off Manchester City with a 1-0 victory in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League final in May, claiming their second Champions League title. Plus, Chelsea even bagged a UEFA Super Cup win on August 11 over Spanish side Villareal after the match went to penalties!

Will the club have an even more successful season this year? Here's how to watch Chelsea in the Premier League to find out!

BT Sport won't be showing a Chelsea game until the Blues face Man City on the 25th of September, so your best choice for Chelsea games at the start of the Premier League, so you'd be missing a lot of the season if you only have BT Sport access.

The London-based club has never appeared in the top flight of English football since the league was rebranded in 1992, but are ready to make a name for themselves in the Premier League 2021/22 season.

They were promoted for the new Premier League season after defeating Swansea 2-0 in the play-off final back in May. You can watch the highlights from that match-up below!

If you only want to keep up with the newest team in the Premier League this year, here's how to watch Brentford's Premier League matches!

How to watch Brentford in the UK

Premier League coverage in the UK is split primarily between Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime (during the Christmas period). The full broadcast schedule isn't available yet, but we do know who will be showing live coverage from when the season starts. 

Sky Sports still gets the largest portion of exclusive matches, and as such you should pick up Sky Sports if you only want to pay for one live sport package to follow Brentford this season. Both the opening game of the season (Brentford v Arsenal) and Brentford's face-off with Liverpool towards the end of September will be shown live on Sky Sports

If you want to watch as many Brentford games as possible, you'll also need BT Sport coverage. So far, we know that Brentford v Wolverhampton (Friday, 17 September) will be on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate. As BT has 52 exclusive matches this year, there's a possibility that more of Brentford's televised matches will only be available on BT Sport. 

How to watch Brentford in the United States

In the US, every single match in the season is being broadcast by NBC, including all of Brentford's matches. Most viewers will find games on NBCSN, but a few will be shown on CNBC or NBC proper, and these channels are available on every single cable service or streaming platform.

The cheapest way to get NBCSN is with Sling TV's Sling Blue package which gets you NBCSN and 42 other channels. You can try out Sling TV with a free trial, but after that Sling Blue will cost $35 a month. If you want even more channels, you can pair it up with the Sling Orange plan for an extra $15 a month.

Plenty of NBC's Premier League coverage (including a handful of Brentford's opening matches) are only available on their streaming service, Peacock. However, you won't be able to watch the games on the free tier, as live Premier League games are only available on Peacock Premium.

That means you'll be paying $4.99 a month (or $9.99 if you want to get rid of any ads) for Peacock Premium, but you can also stump up $49.99 ($99 for the ad-free plan) if you'd prefer to pay annually. Either package will let you watch live sport including Peacock exclusive Premier League games, as well as giving you access to Peacock Originals, late-night talk shows and next-day access to returning broadcast series, too!

Brentford's Premier League Fixtures 

Below you’ll find a list of Brentford’s upcoming Premier League fixtures. We'll keep this guide up to date with where and when you can watch Brentford in action throughout the season. 

Note: NBC will broadcast all 380 matches from the Premier League, but not all games are televised in the UK. If scheduling info is missing, it will be updated when this info becomes available.

Rebecca Adlington knows what it takes to do very well at an Olympics and become a new world superstar in the process. She won two gold medals for Great Britain back at the 2008 Beijing Games at 400m and 800m freestyle, breaking the world record for the longer event. She also won two bronze medals at London four years later. Rebecca's now ready and excited to be part of the BBC presenting team for the Tokyo Olympics, giving her thoughts on the races and swimmers alongside her fellow Olympic swimmer Mark Foster and BBC swimming coverage host JJ Chalmers.

It's going to be an all-nighter for Rebecca, Mark and JJ, as the swimming finals begin on the BBC in the early hours of the morning, as sessions from the Olympic pool start from 2-2.30am British time. It's an unusual arrangement of morning finals in Tokyo and heats in the evening, but it's to coincide with prime time television viewing in the US the night before. But Rebecca is quite used to being up through the night these days, having given birth to her baby boy Albie four months ago, younger brother to her six-year-old, Summer. 'Yes sleepless nights are quite the norm for me these days," Rebecca laughs as we chat on the phone, with baby Albie letting out a few cries in the background. "Obviously, we've waited five years since Rio for the Olympics so Mark, JJ and myself are really raring to go! I can't wait for the racing to start."

So here's Rebecca Adlington on what we can expect from the swimming events at the Tokyo Olympics...

Rebecca Adlington on what to expect with all the restrictions and COVID issues going on at the Tokyo Olympics...

Rebecca Adlington says: "I know all the swimmers have had their own kind of isolation for the couple of weeks before heading out to Tokyo. They weren't even able to see family, friends or going out for meals. They were in their bubble just so they were safe, because if they tested positive just before they were supposed to head to Tokyo they wouldn't have been allowed on the plane, so that would have been Olympics over for them. So it has been very difficult and unlike any Games before.

"The announcement that there won't be any spectators now watching the races will make this a very different Olympics too. But the British team are kind of prepared for that. The British OIympic trials and recent European championships were the same and the swimmers did really well with it. They've known for a long time that friends and family can't be there in Tokyo and they're fine with that. They know everyone can watch it from home. That's the main thing, isn't it? Any interview I've heard with a swimmer they say they're just grateful the Games are going ahead.

"Some media are allowed poolside, so we'll have Sharron Davies there, at a distance, getting swimmer reactions to the races, while Mark Foster, JJ Chalmers and myself are back in Britain presenting from the studio."

Can Britain's Adam Peaty be beaten in the 100m breaststroke...

Rebecca says: "No! I don't think he can be beaten. Not unless there’s an utter disaster for him or illness. Obviously, hey, it's the Olympic Games and anything can happen. Nasty surprises can come out the woodwork, but I can't see it happening. Adam’s really focussed on the 100m and so much faster than the rest of the world. While some swimmers have definitely bridged the gap if you like and are slightly closer to him, it’s certainly not substantial enough to make me that nervous. He’s still miles out in front of everyone. Adam is just so happy, content with fatherhood and life, and is confident his training has gone really well. It really is his gold medal, all being well. One of his main rivals is British swimmer James Wilby, and it would be so lovely to see the pair of them on the podium together."

Why do you think Adam Peaty is so much faster than anyone else?

Rebecca says: "It’s down to his athleticism. I mean, there are other athletes that are just the same build and the same height, but with Adam everything is awesome but he has the full package. His mental strength is just immense too, plus his race tactics in keeping his technique and power are spot on. His stroke rate is amazing and how he attacks a race is devastating. We talk about these perfect athletes and you think of people like Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky, and Adam is now one of them. He really is in that bracket where he’s different to anyone else. He just loves to race which helps as well."

Which other British men swimmers have a shot at medals in Tokyo?

Rebecca says: "If all four in the British men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay are on their top game then they do have a chance of winning. They are reigning world champions, when Duncan Scott overtook the American in an epic race and we brought home the gold. He goes again, but what helps us enormously is Adam Peaty on the breaststroke leg being so much faster than the rest of the world! It's important we get a solid lead-off leg on the backstroke. We had Luke Greenbank for this at the World Championships and he has posted some great times recently so that's good. James Guy at Butterfly too has been swimming very fast! I'm very excited about this relay.

"James Guy could be near to a medal in the 100m Butterfly individual event, while Luke Greenbank is getting better at the 200m backstroke, breaking the British record recently, and he could be close to medal success. Luke was only edged out by the Russian swimmer Rylov at the recent European Championships, and Rylov is a favourite for Olympic gold at the event. Duncan Scott has just been amazing. He was a surprise fourth in the Rio 100m freestyle but he's now older and doing more events. He's one of the world's best at 200m freestyle so he really has a chance for gold there, and he has a good shot at a medal for the 200m Individual Medley too. I think he enjoys training on different strokes as it's very hard as an athlete to just focus on one thing all the time, and his skills on all strokes are brilliant. Duncan's such a great racer, too. He has a lot of events so he'll need to manage that well throughout the week."

Which of the British women swim stars will be looking for medals?

Rebecca says: "We're looking at Molly Renshaw in the 200m Breaststroke, Freya Anderson in the 200m Freestyle, and Abbie Wood both the 200m Individual Medley an 200m Breaststroke, though the strength in depth for Britain nowadays is amazing, and I'd like to give a shout out to Anna Hopkin the sprint freestyler who could really surprise us! 

"Molly Renshaw in particular has kind of always been on the money and obviously she's got so much more experience than in her last Olympics where she came fourth. Molly has a great chance as she's just totally smashed it up this year at her event and has been so impressive. Abbie Wood too could push her in the 200m breaststroke. Abbie has completely burst on to the scene. In the 200m Individual Medley where she takes over the mantle of Siobhan Marie O'Connor who's retired, she's going really well. There are great Medley swimmers in the world and now Abbie is among them! Freya Anderson is a wonderful relay swimmer and in the 200m Freestyle she always comes back so strongly on the last length. So Freya is definitely one to watch."

Which international swimming stars are set to shine in the Tokyo pool?

"I always look forward to Katie Ledecky's races. She really is an American superstar and packs in loads of freestyle events, from 200m all the way to 1500m, which is new at this Games. She's been one of the amazing stars of our sport since winning the 800m at London 2012 and she holds super-fast world records. It's even more exciting this year as she has a big rival in Australia's Ariarne Titmus who'll be pushing Katie all the way, especially in the shorter 200m and 400m. At the Australian trials Ariarne went faster than Katie has been this year. So it's all set for an epic encounter between the two, a real head-to-head battle. I'd say Katie would be slight favourite in the longer distance races.

"America's Caeleb Dressel is going to win a few golds! He's taken over the Michael Phelps mantle as a world icon and in doing multi events, such as the 50m sprint, 100m freestyle plus 100m Butterfly, and he'll be in a lot of the American relays which are always strong. Caeleb has amazing starts and turns too. His skills are so far ahead of everyone else in the world."

Do you enjoy presenting sport on TV as well as taking part in reality series such as I'm A Celebrity... and Celebrity Masterchef?

Rebecca says: "I love TV work especially when it involves swimming as I'm so passionate about the sport. My main job however is my Learn To Swim programme Becky Adlington Swim Stars. Just to get more and more kids involved in the pool and learning such a crucial skill is so rewarding. So I'll keep hammering on at that as much as I can. But I do love the TV work. Shows like I'm A Celebrity... and Celebrity Masterchef were great. I loved doing them."

More than 20 million people tuned in to see England beat Germany 2-0 at the EUROs on Tuesday 29 June, the BBC has revealed.

At its peak, 20.6 million people tuned to watch the game on BBC1, with an additional 6.5 million viewers across BBC Sport online and BBC iPlayer. This makes the historic victory the most-watched match at the EUROs so far and the highest-rated show of 2021 so far in the UK.

The match also set a new live viewing record for BBC iPlayer, with 5.6 million viewers watching the game via the BBC’s dedicated streaming service. In total, the BBC coverage secured an 80 percent share of the total available audience at the time!

The match saw a half-full Wembley Stadium losing it after Raheem Sterling sneaking a goal past German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Harry Kane finally landed his first goal of the tournament to secure the 2-0 win in the round of 16.

Imagine the viewing figures if England reaches the final!.

These impressive figures beat ITV’s coverage of England vs Scotland on Friday 18 June. 18.4 million tuned in to watch Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad take on Steve Clarke’s Scottish side in the derby which ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw. 

Now that England has made it through to the quarter-finals, viewing figures are only expected to climb higher and higher as fans grow more optimistic about a potential international trophy win.

England’s next match is on Saturday at 8pm BST / 3pm ET. They face Ukraine in Rome for a place in the semi-final.  Viewers can tune into that game on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer in the UK, and the game will be shown in the US on ESPN.

If England wins that game, they’ll face either Denmark or the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium in London on 7 July. 

There’s no bigger legend in the world of tennis than Billie Jean King. So it was a surprise, pleasure and a major coup to have her Zooming in for a chat before she left New York to come to Wimbledon as part of the BBC's team led by her great friend and former tennis rival Sue Barker. 

Billie Jean is a superstar who changed the game in the early 1970s by putting women’s tennis on the map and enabling top women stars to play professionally for prize money. She won the Wimbledon singles six times and 20 titles there overall including her doubles success. 

Her life in the early 1970s as she strove to get better treatment for women players was portrayed by Emma Stone in the hit movie Battle of The Sexes, about her 1973 match with veteran men's champion Bobby Riggs. Billie famously beat Bobby in that Texas match watched by 90 million as she became a mover and shaker for social change at the time. Vociferous, pushy, and determined to do what was right, she quite rightly is an icon.

So here are Billie Jean's thoughts on this year's Wimbledon, some tips for success in tennis, and her wonderful memories of the past…

How much does it mean to you to go back to Wimbledon? 

Billie Jean King says: "It’s so wonderful. I’ve been going every year since 1961 and we couldn’t go last year. I was pretty upset. I think what COVID has done for everyone is made us much more grateful for everything in our lives so some good comes out of this. I enjoy giving my opinions on Wimbledon matches players for the BBC, at every opportunity! Sue Barker is so nice. All the team are nice but Sue really is our superstar. She recently got awarded a CBE by the Queen, which is wonderful and so deserved. I knew her as a player and she’s great because she played at Wimbledon, so she really understands what it feels like for the players. She told me a long time ago, back in our playing days, that she wanted to get into broadcasting, and she loved every sport, not just tennis. I told her to go for it and look where she is now! She’s a true superstar."

Which players do you think will do well at Wimbledon 2021?

Billie Jean says: "There are always surprises and I think every generation gets better. I’m in my 70s so I’ve seen many generations change. The women have more depth than ever and therefore I don’t know if anybody really stands out. Whereas with the men I think you have to go with Novak Djokovic because right now he’s the greatest player in the world. I guess Nadal said he can’t play. That’s too bad but I understand his reasoning, as he wants to keep playing as long as possible because it’s so obvious he loves the sport. I’ve been in his situation as I played until I was 40 so I have a little bit of an understanding of what he must be feeling."

Do you think this Wimbledon is Serena’s best chance to get the record 24th Grand Slam?

Billie Jean says: "I don’t know. I’m not sure she’s as fit as she needs to be. Every generation the ball is hit harder. So these newer players coming up are tough. When Serena really smacks the ball they don’t mind it now. If she’s really fit, organised, concentrating properly and staying in the now she can do well. She needs to go to the net more and be more aggressive though. Her serve is still the most beautiful serve ever in the history of our sport."

Can you remember how it feels to play a Wimbledon final? 

Billie Jean says: "That never leaves. You always go back to your wonderful memories of finals, both the mental and emotional thoughts. You need to really focus to overcome nerves in a final. My trick was, if I were up by two I’d pretend I was down by two and I have to win the next game to stay in the match. That helped me a lot. I was intense and had a temper but I could compartmentalize very quickly and could come back quickly from setbacks. 

"Arthur Ash did that in his final with Jimmy Connors in 1975. You could see him close his eyes. I don’t know what he was doing but it’s kind of a relaxation thing. That’s what separates the great players from the others. The mind is such a good weapon in tennis. It’s having your head, your heart, and your guts integrated as one. If you’re watching a match you can see when one of those elements is missing in a player."

What were your most memorable moments in Wimbledon finals? 

Billie Jean says: "I actually loved doubles more than singles so for me it was winning mixed with Owen Davidson. Winning my first Wimbledon was exciting in the women’s doubles in 1961 with Karen Hantze, as no one expected it. I was only 17. My first singles win in 1966 against Maria Bueno in three sets was special. The first wins in tournaments are always really good. And the last, like the 1975 final with my frizzy perm! 

"Meeting Chris Evert in the 1973 final was terrific too. I really changed up my game and decided not to serve and volley so much. I did all sorts of things which threw Chris and the plan came off, which is always nice. There are a lot of great memories. I don’t think anyone young in England has ever seen me win a final, however, because every time it rains the BBC seems to show my 1969 and 1970 losses to Ann Jones and Margaret Court."

Do you catch up with Ann Jones when you’re at Wimbledon? 

Billie Jean says: "We check in yes. We were contract pros together in 1968/69. She beat Margaret Court in the semis in 1969, then beat me in the final when I double faulted on match point. I was happy for Ann, though, very happy."

Is going to Wimbledon a great chance for you to meet up with former players and tennis friends? 

Billie Jean says: "We do all connect but a lot of us text all year anyway. A lot of the time when the ex players and friends come to Wimbledon, we always get together at least once or twice during the fortnight and have a good catch up or dinner out. Betty Stove can’t come this year sadly so that’s going to be a little different as we always met up with each other."

What are the greatest Wimbledon finals you’ve ever seen?  

Billie Jean says: "The Bjorg v McEnroe finals were epic. Bjorg winning five straight was amazing and his first win was the start of a new generation in the 1970s. Rod Laver was always amazing to watch in a final. He had such great top spin on his forehand. Martina and Chris had the greatest rivalry ever in the game so their Wimbledon finals were ones to savour."

We all loved the movie Battle Of The Sexes. In terms of the age gap, what match would you like to see as the modern equivalent? How about Serena play John McEnroe?

Billie Jean says: "John McEnroe has been trying for years to get that to happen. I don’t think it’s the same time in history. It wouldn’t have the same caché. Most people don’t realize Martina played Jimmy Connors in the 1980s. We had 90million people watching Bobby Riggs and I play. I don’t think there have ever been 90 million people watching tennis again. The movie really wasn’t about tennis though. It was about the social change of the era. There was a lot of pressure on that match I can tell you that."

What can you tell us about your fight for equality in women's tennis? 

Billie Jean says: "We’re the generation — especially the 'original nine' — who made tennis pro for women players so I’m very proud of that. It was really gutsy. I thought we were going to get suspended but we didn’t care. We were willing to absolutely have our career smashed for the future. We wanted any girl in the world if she were good enough to finally have a place to compete because in 1968 to 1970 things were not good for women. We were getting less and less prize money or they were dropping our tournaments and we were desperate so we signed the 'one-dollar contract' to start a tour. 

"We also wanted to be recognized for our accomplishments not only our looks because it was always about our looks in those days and finally, the most important reason because amateurs would make $14 a day, it was to finally make a living playing tennis . We finally got equal prize money in 2007 and it was very appropriate that Venus Williams was the front person for our fight. The US Open was the first tournament to go equal so it took from 1973 till 2007. It sends a really strong message about equality. It’s more about the message to me than the money. I don’t have to worry about the money these kids make nowadays."

Your autobiography comes out this summer. How did you find writing it?

Billie Jean says: 'Yes it's called All In, as that’s how I live my life. Everyone teases me ‘that’s easy, your title should be All In Billie.’ That’s how that came about. This took four years, there’s a lot of stuff in there. I was given the audio for the book in New York and I spent two hours just tidying everything up and I broke down a few times, I had to stop. It’s rough. It’s about sexuality, about eating disorder, it’s about a lot of things that people can relate to. 

"With mental illness coming to the forefront because of what Naomi Osaka did and said recently we’ve all had to deal with that stuff. I’m a big believer in psychotherapy. It's made my life much better and easier. The book comes out August 17. One of my lucky numbers is 17. My younger brother Randy played professional baseball which in the States is a really big deal and he wore 17! I live on the 17th floor in New York, where I can see the ballet through the window across the street in the Lincoln Centre. I won my first doubles at Wimbledon with Karen Hantze at 17. When people say what age did you like and I always say 17. It was a wonderful year."

How to watch Wimbledon 2021

In the USA, ESPN will provide complete TV coverage of Wimbledon. ESPN remains available on every cable and satellite provider, and on every major streaming service. That includes YouTube TV, Hulu With Live TV, and Sling TV, among others.

If you're in the market for a new streaming service, we recommend taking a look at FuboTV. In addition to carrying ESPN and having a slate of channels that rivals any of the other options above, FuboTV also is comparable in terms of price. 

In the UK, coverage of Wimbledon 2021 can be watched on both BBC1 and BBC2, with Sue hosting and former champions John McEnroe and Billie Jean King being part of the BBC team, plus there's coverage on radio and online. Play starts on Monday, June 28, and goes through to Sunday, July 11 with coverage on BBC1, BBC2, radio, and online. 

John McEnroe can’t wait for the return of Wimbledon after its enforced year off. The tennis world is ready to go Wimbledon crazy again and the tournament’s former three-time champion is too!

"I’m absolutely buzzing," John McEnroe tells us on a Zoom call from his California home before he joins the BBC commentary team alongside Sue Barker. "I’m so looking forward to actually getting on a plane and coming to Britain. Being close to the court with a lot of excited spectators watching on too will be amazing, not only for me but for the players and tennis fans. We’re all champing at the bit for it to begin!"

The Wimbledon fortnight starts from this Monday, with limited crowds allowed into the grounds to cheer on their favorite players. So here are a few insights John McEnroe gave us during our call…

How do you see the Wimbledon 2021 Men’s Singles playing out?

John McEnroe says: "The top ones are the obvious ones, so Roger, Novak — that goes without saying. You’d have to look at Novak as the favorite coming in, although, with Roger, I think if he’s ever going to win another Grand Slam it will be at Wimbledon. The grass-court is more forgiving for his body and he knows so much about how to perform on it. Also, after his great exploits in the French Open, Tsitsipas is the guy that’s most likely to be making that breakthrough, and Medvedev, too, can be good on grass."

And how about the Women’s Singles?

John says: "It’s way more unpredictable at this stage, now Naomi Osaka isn't going to come. Simona Halep pulled out of the French Open with a calf problem, so it’s unknown if she’ll be 100 per cent. I always feel like when Serena Williams goes into an event, particularly Wimbledon, she’s almost like the favourite and if Halep’s not right you’d certainly say she’s got a better shot at getting the record Grand Slam she so desperately wants. It’s tough to call right now."

Naomi Osaka recently pulled out of the French Open after not waiting to talk to press, and now isn't coming to Wimbledon. What are your thoughts on what happened?

John says: "I haven’t spoken to Naomi that often, but when I have it’s obvious that she’s a pretty introverted and shy person. Certainly mental fragility is something that during this pandemic a lot of people have been experiencing and it’s an issue that has to be taken seriously. My concern would be that on some level it’s going to intensify the scrutiny for her. It’s a shame because she’s a tremendous player."

In light of this, how much of a lonely game is tennis?

John says: "Tennis is an extremely lonely game. You feel extremely vulnerable and almost naked on the court at times, especially when things aren’t going well. I experienced times where it felt like it was all getting too much, and most players feel that. How do you think Murray feels or Henman when they’re getting scrutinised the way they were at Wimbledon? It’s not easy to overcome. Tennis can be incredibly rewarding but also incredibly difficult."

What’s your assessment of British players like Jo Konta and Andy Murray?

John says: "It seems like Jo Konta has lost some confidence, her form isn’t what it was. But she’s obviously going to have some crowd support, which could help. Even more unpredictable would be Andy Murray obviously. I mean it’s all about his physical health to me. If he could move the way he used to then he’d be top ten in the world and one of the main challengers. But that’s a big if. I didn’t even have hip problems as bad as him, but I experienced hip issues the last six or seven years that I played and I never totally overcame it. I felt it slowed me down and with the game being more physical and faster now you can even less afford to lose that little bit of speed." 

How do you find working with BBC host Sue Barker?

John says: "Sue Barker can work with anyone! She’s proven that over the years, not only at Wimbledon but when she does other things for the BBC. She’s like the consummate professional. She makes my life easier and hopefully I make hers a little easier. 

"I remember seeing her the first year I was at Wimbledon in 1977, which was when Virginia Wade won and Sue and l both lost in the semi-finals. We might have walked by each other then, but I’m sure I had my head down — I was 18, and it may be hard to believe but I was pretty shy back then and it was a bit overwhelming what took place that year for me. It changed my life in a big way. In a good way but a big way. Sue was at most of the big tournaments back then so we gradually got to know each other and I love working with her now."

Finally, we’ve got to ask, when was the last time you said, ‘You cannot be serious!?’?

John says: "I did a commercial with Serena in a cameo role and they asked me to have one line, and I was like, let me guess which one! The funny part is that I said this once in my 15-year tennis career and I was fined for it. Now when I play on the champions tour I get fined if I don’t say it at least once! I don’t know if it’s ironic or sad, good or bad, or both!"

In the UK, the tournament can be watched on both BBC1, BBC2, and online with Sue Barker hosting and John McEnroe part of the commentary team on the BBC, radio and online. Wimbledon starts on Monday, June 28, and goes through to Sunday, July 11.

Sue Barker is excited! After a year off, Wimbledon is back, with limited crowds to cheer on their tennis favourites. As the BBC’s Wimbledon host since 1994, Sue’s as much a fixture there as those punnets of strawberries and the creeping ivy on the court walls. Now she's hosting Wimbledon 2021 coverage on BBC1 and BBC2 and she can't wait to get started. 

"Just the fact that we’ll see players in all-white running around a little green surface is enough for me," laughs Sue, who Zoomed in for a chat with us from her house in the Cotswolds. ‘I live and breathe Wimbledon, that’s what I grew up loving. I get goosebumps every time I walk through the gates, so I’m just boiling over with excitement that play can happen this year."

So here's what Sue Barker told us about the challenges for Wimbledon 2021, how the players might fare, and what her typical day there will be like...

• How to watch Wimbledon 2021

How will Wimbledon be different this year?

Sue Barker says: "We’ll begin coverage by reflecting on the two years since there was last play at Wimbledon, on what it’s meant for tennis and the world. The reduced crowds will be odd, but better than none at all. 

"The only thing I’m concerned about is with the social distancing that’s obviously happening. Normally I’d open with a chat between three or four guests standing on Henman Hill with all the crowds around us. Now that will be restricted somewhat. 

"When you’ve got four people to chat to everybody’s got an opinion, so it’s much more conversational. This year, sadly, there might be less of that. Obviously, the players are going to be in their bubble with the officials so we won’t see any of them for a chat inside the studio either. They’ll be interviewed on court, but I love doing this! When I interviewed Andy Murray on court after his first win in 2013 it was a highlight of my broadcasting career."

You have a much-loved on screen partnership with US tennis legend John McEnroe. How great is it to work with John?

Sue says: "John and I go back to 1977 when we both got to the semi-finals. I was the No4 seed but had a disastrous loss to Betty Stove, which John continuously ribs me about every single year! I have a huge amount of respect for John as a player, but even more so as a commentator. He gets it for players and gets it for the people at home. He’s fascinating to listen to, gives incredible insight and of course, he’s got opinions and we have numerous debates."

Read our chat with John McEnroe right here: John McEnroe on Wimbledon 2021: 'We're champing at the bit for the tennis to begin!’

How do you see the Men’s Singles playing out at Wimbledon 2021?

Sue says: "It’s got to be between Novak or Roger. Never write Roger Federer off whatever age he is. He loves the grass and he’s desperate for another Grand Slam. And the fact that he chose to not push his body at the French Open means he’s really serious. Novak is such an amazing competitor. The Canadian lad Felix Auger Aliassime could be a surprise. Tsitsipas got to the French Open final so will be a danger plus Zverev and Medvedev are excellent too!"

And the Women’s Singles?

Sue says: "Please, please, please Serena win your 24th Grand Slam and break Margaret Court’s record. For me, Serena is the greatest of all time and I’d like her to finish that statistically. Her whole story is incredible, and to still be hungry for success after becoming a mum and being 39 is astonishing! Yes, Simona Halep stopped Serena in the last final in 2019, but Simona played so brilliantly then. I think she only made one unforced error in the whole match. Simona's been injured so it will be difficult for her to repeat that performance if she comes to Wimbledon of course. The young American star Coco Gauff is incredibly exciting. It’s been interesting to watch her over two years, as she’s really added to her game."

Can any British players do well at Wimbledon 2021?

Sue says: "I hope Andy Murray is fit. It's a shame it's not a packed Wimbledon because he’d get the best ovation ever coming out to play as everyone knows what he's been through with his hip problems to get there. It would be fabulous to see him do well, but really it’s just great to see him back. 

"Dan Evans can do well and he did beat Novak earlier this year in three sets, plus Cameron Norrie did relatively well at the French. He's learned so much coming through the American college tennis system. Jo Konta hasn't become a bad player overnight. It's all about confidence with Jo, and if she can get a few wins under her belt before Wimbledon begins it could be all smiles again."

Do you still play a bit of tennis?

Sue says: "I don’t I'm afraid! I last hit a ball in 1998 and that was when I snapped my Achilles tendon. The surgeon said, Why don't you do yourself a favour and take up cycling! So that’s what I do now — a lot of cycling plus Pilates. I also take my dogs for long walks all over the Cotswolds."

Can you tell us about your typical day at Wimbledon?

SUE BARKER'S WIMBLEDON MORNING

Early riser…
"I get up around 6.30am and have a cup of tea and my usual muesli before having a shower and thinking what I’m going to wear for the day! That can take a while as I fuss a bit over my clothes choice! I also have a look at weather forecasts to see what it might mean for play that day — and it can also affect what outfit I choose because you’ll know how much outside broadcasting you’ll be doing!"

Preparations…
"I generally get into the Wimbledon office by 7.45am and go through the running order of play with my editor, and we sit down to write the opening links for when the coverage starts later. Then I do most of my prep on all the players and matches, as I know I’m going to have to do updates all the way through the day and could be asked to comment on any match at any time. 

"I try to look at all the matches and work out a few lines and stats for each one, and that can take a good two hours plus. I often try to find Tim Henman and Tracy Austin as they are brilliant and both are information sponges! 

"They know every fact going on every player on every court. Tracy especially will know everything about the women players, from their current form on every playing surface to each player’s diets plus their coaches and training regimes. I’ll then go into hair and make-up, still reading all my notes (thanks Tracey and Tim!), before I hit the studio or outside spot where I film my opening links and do initial chats for the day’s coverage. These are always pre-recorded even though they seem live to everyone watching at home. We have to do this to help things run smoothly."

LIVE COVERAGE

Kick off…
"It’s quite busy when live coverage begins at 10.30am on BBC2. I always have a snack just before as you never know when you’ll get the chance during the day. As the pre-recorded links and chats go out, usually with the likes of John McEnroe and Tim Henman, I get ready to introduce the opening matches on the outside courts and do the same for the show courts a couple of hours later. Generally, everything just flows out as I do my live broadcasting."

Afternoon adrenalin…
"It suddenly becomes manic at 1.45pm when we come on air on BBC1, because I’m switching between both channels and everything is happening then. There could be a seed doing badly on one court, an injury on another, and a tense tie break somewhere else. I have to be ready to give comment on everything and anywhere, and it’s the great BBC team who work on Wimbledon that provides me with the best updates. 

"It really keeps you on your toes and you have to be alert to everything for the next four hours or so. I try to appear equally on BBC1 and BBC2 as well. Sometimes it’s a live link, other times it's a voiceover as the camera pans around the courts. I try not to be receptive in my comments, but with so many players and matches that’s easy."

Friends…
"Guests can pop by between matches, often with my great pals like Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Pam Shriver, Virginia Wade, and Martina Navratilova. I know all these former players from my era as best friends. In our playing days, there was such a great camaraderie between all of us who toured together. 

"For example, I remember Chris Evert and I practiced in the morning together, played each other in a tough match in the afternoon, then went out for dinner afterwards! I often did the same with the other players. That’s why we all have such great rapport now and it can often seem like our chats are best mates having a natter, which is nice."

SUE’S EVENING  & HOME TIME

Seeking Tim… 
"When the afternoon coverage is finished for me, generally around 6pm, I’ll seek out Tim Henman as he knows how we can sneak into the royal box on Centre Court and have a watch of the last games, which is a great way to unwind. I love any opportunity to watch a top tennis match at Wimbledon courtside. I’m also on a food hunt by then, as it’s so difficult to eat anything during all the live coverage. I try to have a salad in the afternoon to pick at, but I’m generally called away to do TV links so I don’t always finish it all. I definitely need some dinner by the evening, so I’ll often wander to the staff and crew food hall and have a proper good meal."

Home to bed…
"By the end of the day, I’m totally exhausted but I do have a think about how the play went that day, then look forward to what’s coming up the day after. My exhaustion from all the energy I’ve spent during the day means I sleep very well indeed!"

The FA Cup final is nearly upon us. This is the 140th FA Cup final, and, although this tournament has been hampered like every other live sport by COVID-19, the end is now just days away. 124 teams entered, but now only two remain.

Unsurprisingly, this year’s FA Cup final will see two teams from the Premier League fighting for supremacy in the oldest football tournament on the planet. Following their 1-0 defeats of Manchester City and Southampton back in April, EPL teams Chelsea and Leicester City are poised to face off this Saturday.

Guy Mowbray, who’ll be commentating on his seventh Final for the BBC in the UK, tells us he's expecting a close match

"I expect this to be one of the most evenly contested finals we’ve seen, and there will be plenty of personal battles all over the pitch. The Chelsea defence, including former Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell, is very organised, and the Blues have a great goalkeeper in clean-sheet specialist Edouard Mendy. But they’ll need to be at their best against Kelechi Iheanacho, who is in prime form, and Jamie Vardy, who might not be scoring at the moment, but who is creating lots of chances. 

"In midfield, another former Leicester player, N’Golo Kante, is up against Wilfried Ndide, who is just as good as Kante in my opinion, alongside the outstanding Youri Tielemans. I’m confident Chelsea striker Timo Werner will eventually start scoring goals, but the Leicester back three – Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, and Caglar Soyuncu — is a magnificent unit. This game really is too close to call."

Wembley Stadium will have a limited number of supporters on site to watch the final, but if you’re watching from home, here’s our guide on how to watch Chelsea vs Leicester City in the 2021 FA Cup final!

Manchester United vs. Leicester City is the next big match in the Premier League. Although Manchester City still remains just one win away from winning the league, Manchester United could delay their win yet again if they perform well tonight.

Manchester United enter this game having just dealt fellow EPL side Aston Villa a savage blow, beating them 3-1 on Sunday, May 9. They’ve got an impressive lead ahead of the rest of the league for second place, and will need to win every match they’ve got lined up to prevent Man City confirming their league win for the 20/21 season. Manchester United goes into the match on 20-10-4, with 70 points overall.

Leicester City, meanwhile, just suffered a 4-2 loss against Newcastle in last Friday night’s six goal stunner. If the Foxes defeat Man United, then Manchester City can finally be crowned as the winners of the Premier League this season, so there’s a lot riding on this match. Leicester City go into this match in 4th place in the league on 19-6-10, with 63 points overall.

Manchester United vs. Leicester City kicks off in the UK at 6 p.m. BST.

The Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers are upon us. And for those of us in the United States, there's one place to watch them — Paramount Plus.

The first games kick off on March 24. There are three rounds of qualifying in all, and the top five teams in the Concacaf region — that awkwardly stands for Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football — don't have to play until the final round. And that means that you won't see the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico, Jamaica or Honduras until that final round.

But that doesn't mean there's now football to be watched. There are 16 games through March 30, all on Paramount Plus.

“We’re excited to make Paramount Plus the home of Concacaf Men’s World Cup Qualifiers and look forward to bringing these intense and competitive national team competitions to fans,” said Jeffrey Gerttula, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CBS Sports Digital. “With the addition of these qualifiers, Paramount Plus will be the destination for a diverse and passionate fanbase eager to cheer for their national teams on the road to the FIFA World Cup.”

The initial two rounds see the teams drawn into six groups of five. They then play single round-robin matches (two home and two away). The group winners advance to the next round. Round 2 sees those group winners play in a two-legged home-and-away series. Whoever scores the most goals over two games advances to play the top five teams in the final round. 

Round 3 will see another home-and-away series, with matches played later this year.

The Qatar World Cup is scheduled for Nov. 21-Dec. 18, 2022.

Here's the full slate of first-round Concacaf games:

• March 24: Dominican Republic vs. Dominica, 7:05 p.m.
• March 24: Guatemala vs. Cuba, 8:05 p.m.
• March 25: Haiti vs. Belize, 5 p.m.
• March 25: Curaçao vs. St. Vincent & the Grenadines, 6:05 p.m.
• March 25: Trinidad & Tobago vs. Guyana, 7:05 p.m.
• March 25: Panama vs. Barbados, 7:55 p.m.
• March 25: El Salvador vs. Grenada, 10:25 p.m.
• March 27: Turks & Caicos Islands vs. Nicaragua, 4:35 p.m.
• March 27: British Virgin Islands vs. Guatemala, 6:05 p.m.
• March 27: Anguilla vs. Dominican Republic, 6:05 p.m.
• March 27: Aruba vs. Suriname, 8:05 p.m.
• March 28: Dominica vs. Panama, 4:05 p.m.
• March 28: Cayman Islands vs. Canada, 4:05 p.m.
• March 28: Puerto Rico vs. Trinidad & Tobago, 5:05 p.m.
• March 28: Montserrat vs. El Salvador, 6:05 p.m
• March 30: Barbados vs. Anguilla, 7:35 p.m.

Paramount Plus price in the US

• Paramount Plus essential plan — from $4.99 monthly, or $49.99 per year
  So long as you don't mind advertising, you can watch the Paramount Plus essential plan for as little as $4.99 per month.
  Do note that there's a catch with the $4.99 version of Paramount Plus (as well as the ads) — it doesn't include a live stream of your local CBS affiliate.
• Paramount Plus premium plan — from $9.99 monthly, or $99.99 per year
  If you can't stand ads (who can, really?) and want to get rid of most of them, the premium tier runs $9.99 a month, or $99.99 a year.
• Paramount Plus/Showtime subscription plan — from $12 monthly (with ads), $15 (no ads)
  This is similar to a previous bundle option for Paramount and Showtime.

Soccer isn't the only live sport on Paramount Plus. You'll also be able to watch regional NFL games, as well as the Champions League and other football. 

The streaming service is also home to a host of new Paramount Plus original series, some of which include the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe, the bulk of the Star Trek universe and the Mission: Impossible series.

There's something special about the structure of Champions League football that's foreign to those of us in the United States. The Round of 16 isn't a knockout round, where you lose and go home. It's a two-leg deal, and the team that scores the most goals in two games advances to the quarterfinals.

That leads to some interesting football. In this case, Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona. The French powerhouse won the first-leg match 4-1. And that means that Barcelona doesn't just have to win this second game — it has to win big to overcome that three-goal differential. That's only ever been done three times in Champions League history.

So no pressure.

The winner of this one moves on to the quarterfinals, which take place in April. (The draw will take place on March 19, which is when we'll find out who plays who.) Both the quarterfinals and the semifinals will comprise two legs, before the final match in May.

How to watch PSG vs. Barcelona in the United States

For those of us in the US, the entire Champions League tournament can be found exclusively on Paramount Plus. (That's the streaming service formerly known as CBS All Access.)

Paramount Plus has all the games from the quarterfinal round, with two being played each today. Here's the full schedule. All times are Eastern:

Tuesday, March 9

Juventus 3, Porto 2 (Aggregate tied 4-4; Porto advances on away goals)
Dortmund 2, Sevilla 2 (Dortmund advances on 5-4 aggregate)

Wednesday, March 10

Liverpool vs. Leipzig, 3 p.m. (Liverpool leads 2-0 aggregate)
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona, 3 p.m. (PSG leads 4-1 aggregate)

Tuesday, March 16

Manchester City vs. Mönchengladbach, 4 p.m. (Man City leads 2-0 aggregate)
Real Madrid vs. Atalanta, 4 p.m., (Real Madrid leads 1-0 aggregate)

Wednesday, March 17

Chelsea vs. Atletico, 4 p.m. (Chelsea leads 1-0 aggregate)

You can watch all kinds of live sports on Paramount Plus. In addition to the Champions League, you also can watch the NFL on Paramount Plus. The service is available on every major streaming platform. That means you can watch Paramount Plus on Roku. You can watch Paramount Plus on Amazon Fire TV. And you can watch it on Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Chromecast and AirPlay, on various smart TVs and gaming platforms, and also on the web.

You'll also find all kinds of new Paramount Plus original shows.

But this week? It's all about the Euro football.

If you’re wondering how to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in the 2021 Champions League, we’ve got you covered. 

This is the first time Atalanta and Real Madrid have ever faced off in the UEFA Champions League. The only other time Atalanta have faced a Spanish team was in last year’s round of 16, where they played (and beat) Valencia. Currently, Atalanta is in second place in Group D, sitting on 3-2-1, with 11 points overall.

Real Madrid has the record for the longest consecutive run of knockout stage appearances for any Champions League team. The 2020/21 season is Real Madrid's 24th appearance in the round of 16, and they currently hold first place in Group B ahead of German Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach. Their current record at the time of writing is 3-1-2, with 10 points overall.

As the first leg of the round of 16 comes to a close, here’s how to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in the 2021 Champions League Round of 16.

How to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid anywhere in the world

If you’re going to be away from home but don’t want to miss the match, you always tune into your preferred service using a VPN.

A virtual private network reroutes your network traffic through a set of servers of your choice in a different country. So, if you’re normally in the UK and watch through BT Sport but you’re elsewhere, you can make it look like your device is still back home.

Because your VPN is handling all your network data—encrypted or not—you need to be able to trust your VPN provider. This is why we’re fans of ExpressVPN. 

How to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in the US

If you’re wanting to keep up with the Champions League in the US, you’ve got a couple of great options to choose from. 

CBS will be showing every single Champions League match live on CBS All Access  (and not on their traditional broadcast network). They’ve shown every game from the group stages so far and will be showing every game up to and including the Champions League final in May 2021.

CBS All Access (soon to be Paramount Plus) costs just $5.99 a month with ad breaks in on-demand content, but you can choose a $9.99 monthly subscription to remove them if you'd prefer. 

Alongside exclusive live coverage of the Champions League, you can find everything from the Star Trek Universe as well as great shows like The Twilight Zone and the upcoming Spongebob spin-off Kamp Koral on CBS All Access.

For Spanish-language Champions League coverage of the game in the US, head to TUDN (formerly Univision Deportes).

The match kicks off at 3:00pm ET on Wednesday, February 24 in the US.

How to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in the UK

In the UK, the way to watch these two European teams clash is with BT Sport. They have the broadcast rights to the Champions League this season.

BT TV customers can get BT Sport for an extra £10 a month, and it can also be added to Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk TV packages. If you’d prefer not to be locked into a contract, you can pick up the BT Sport monthly pass.

For just £25, the BT Sport Pass gets you every single BT Sport channel for 30 days. This nets you access to select Premier League and FA Cup matches, the UEFA Champions League as well as a range of other sports including rugby and UFC.

Whatever you watch TV on, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to watch BT Sport. You can install the BT Sport app on mobile and tablet devices, in-browser, PlayStation, Xbox, NOW TV devices, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast, Roku players and some smart TVs, too.

So long as you have a VPN, it’s worth remembering you can access your preferred method outside of the UK, too!

 The match starts at 8:00pm GMT on Wednesday, 24 February in the UK. 

How to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in Canada

Catching Atalanta vs. Real Madrid is easy in Canada, as you’ll just need a subscription to DAZN.

DAZN costs $150 a year for an annual subscription, or you can pay $20 a month if you want to pay monthly. In the long run, the annual subscription is a huge saving, as it works out at $12.50 a month.

DAZN has become quite popular in Canada, and now gets a huge variety of sports. This range includes Champions League and Premier League football, darts, cricket, boxing, wrestling, MMA and more. 

 The match kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, 24 February. 

The UEFA Champions League returns in February with the first leg of the round of 16. In this stage, each of the remaining 16 teams plays another team twice, with the team that scores the most overall goals progressing to the quarter-finals.

We’ve already lost plenty of teams in the Champions League group stages. Since there are now only premium-tier teams left in the competition, the round of 16 will produce some amazing match-ups, including RB Leipzig v Liverpool.

Liverpool has performed pretty well in the group stages. Most of their matches have been convincing victories including a stunning 5-0 win over Serie A team Atalanta. They are currently at the top of Group D, sitting on 4-1-1, with 13 points overall.

RB Leipzig has had a similar record. They got revenge on Manchester United with a 3-2 victory on December 8th after their 5-0 loss, and have had two very close matches with French side PSG too. Currently, RB Leipzig is tied with PSG for first place in Group H on 6-0-2, with 12 points overall.

With both teams performing at similar levels, who will have the edge when they face off? 

How to watch RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool anywhere in the world

If you’re not going to be home but still want to catch Leipzig vs Liverpool, your best bet will be to tune in with a VPN.

A Virtual Private Network lets you divert your network data through a server located in another country of your choice. This makes it look like your computer is in a different country, so you can access region-locked content. So, if you normally watch sports in the States but you’ve found yourself somewhere else, it looks like your computer is still in the US.

The one caveat is that you need to be able to trust your VPN of choice is handling your data securely. That's because all your network traffic —whether encrypted or not—is being handled by a third party. We recommend ExpressVPN for exactly this reason.

How to watch RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool in the U.S.

RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool starts at 3:00pm EST on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.

How to watch RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool in the UK

RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool starts at 8:00pm on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.

Round 5 of the FA Cup continues in February, looking to whittle the competition down to just eight teams for the quarterfinals in March 2021. 

This is the 140th edition of the oldest football competition in the world, and we’re down to some of the best teams for the rest of the competition. 

Eight more matches will be played in the Round 5 from Feb. 9-11, all to decide who will progress to the quarterfinals in March 2021.

Round 4 of the FA Cup saw a huge shakeup to the competition. Arsenal, historically the most successful team in the competition, were knocked out of the competition by Southampton on January 23 with a shocking 1-0 defeat. Arsenal were the defending champions from last year’s FA Cup, so the trophy could be anyone’s this year.

Here’s how to ensure you won’t miss out on any of the action in Round 5 of the FA Cup.

How to watch the FA Cup 5th Round in the UK

Despite the fact that the FA Cup is an English football competition, figuring out where to watch the matches you want to watch is always a bit of a headache in the UK. That’s because the broadcast rights are split between BT Sport and the BBC. Now we’re in the 5th round, you’ll be spending most of your time on BT Sport, with only 3 matches playing on BBC One or BBC iPlayer.  

BT Sport has the bulk of matches from Round 5, including big teams like Everton v Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Southampton. BT Sport access starts from £25 for a contract-free monthly pass and gets you four channels: BT Sport 1, 2 and 3 and BT Sport ESPN. 

This pass lets you watch a huge range of football not only from the FA Cup but also the Champions League and Premier League, as well as select matches from international leagues like the Bundesliga, too. There’s also coverage from the UFC, boxing and cricket, amongst other sports.

You can also install the BT Sport app on NOW TV  devices, although their channels are not currently available through any of the four NOW TV passes. Once you’ve added the app to your device, you’ll just need to log into a BT Sport account and from there you’ll have all four BT Sport channels available on NOW TV.

BT Sport is also available in your web browser, on Samsung smart TVs, PlayStation, Xbox, Apple TV, iOS and Android devices, as well as on Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media cable TV boxes. 

BBC One is broadcast nationwide, and BBC iPlayer is accessible on most devices, smart TVs and games consoles. Access to either is free; as long as you have a TV license, you can catch the three games on the BBC!

FA Cup Round 4 rages on this weekend. There’s plenty of English football to be enjoyed, but the biggest game of Round 4 is easily Manchester United vs. Liverpool.

The two Premier League teams come together having just played a match in the Premier League last week on January 17. Liverpool’s keeper Alisson Becker ensured that Manchester United couldn’t score a single goal, but Liverpool's attack was a bit lacking too. This saw the game finishing on a disappointing 0-0 stalemate.

In Round 3 of the FA Cup, Liverpool dominated Aston Villa 4-1 in the first game of the round. Manchester United, meanwhile, secured a much less impressive 1-0 victory over EFL Championship league team Watford. With so much to prove following their stalemate, we’re all hoping this will be an action-packed game.

Unlike in the States, where you just need ESPN+, a few companies share the broadcasting rights to the FA Cup in the UK. To watch every game, you'll need access to BT Sports and BBC. In Round 3, there were a few matches which were only shown on the FA Player, although you won't need to tune in that way for any of the games in Round 4.

You can also get BT Sports on NOW TV.  The app can be installed on the NOW TV App Store as long as you have a NOW TV stick or box. If you've got either of those streaming devices, the only other thing you'll need is a BT Sport account.

Adam Peaty is one of Britain's top sports stars. Team GB’s first gold of the Rio Olympics came in the swimming pool courtesy of Adam in the men’s 100m breaststroke, where he smashed his own World Record and beat all-comers by over a second and a half. He's now over a second faster than any other human at the event, and nailed on favourite for another Olympic gold.

Here, British swim hero Adam reflects on his amazing success and gives an insight into his other passions, including what he watches on TV…

How have you found being in the spotlight after your Olympics success? “When I went around town in Uttoxeter, where I lived for 21 years, it was amazing. People asking for selfies and chats, is so lovely. As soon as I got off that plane from Rio everything changed. At lot of athletes told me on the plane how mad it was going to be but I didn’t really believe them. Then When I got home it was insane how everybody else was celebrating with me! It’s pretty radical how things changed for me by winning that gold medal. I’ve now moved house to near Loughbrough where it’s nice and quiet but I still get noticed and asked for photos. I’ve adjusted to it now and these last couple of months have been great.”

Have you re-watched the BBC coverage of your Olympic final? You seemed so calm beforehand. It really didn’t seem like you were nervous at all… “I've watched a few times! I remember just telling myself it’s just two lengths. I did great times in the heats and semi, so knew I could win if I just did the job and got it right. It was all about focus and concentration.”

Are you good friends with the rivals you swam against then – Cameron van den Burgh who got silver, and Cody Miller who took bronze? “Yeah, we see each other quite a bit at meets, and we do events for Team Arena, so we’re always friendly towards each other. But in our sport, when you’re in the water that’s it, you’re at war! But out of the water we’re mates. It’s like a lot of sports rivalries really.”

What was it like when you finally got that gold medal around your neck? “There’s nothing like it! And to be the first to get gold for my country at the games was unreal and special. I was so proud to kick off the golds in the best overseas Olympic Games that Team GB has had. It’s been a great two years for me, but I’m hoping to have a few more Olympics and for them to be just as good.”

Have you thought about all the sacrifices you’ve made - the incredible amount of time you must train, some of the social life you must have given up? “You don’t really think about all that when you’re racing, but that last 25 metres you take that all into your race, you know how hard you’ve worked. The training is absolutely ridiculous for swimming - you have to do at least six hours a day, every day, just to make finals. It’s been a hard journey, but now I’ve got my foothold on my event I don’t want it to end. I’ve broken the World Record seven times in two years and I’d like that to continue. It’s all about moving on now and seeing where else I can improve.”

Are you looking to add a gold in the 200m breaststroke race in the next Olympics? “Yes and I think eventually I’ll get there at the longer distance. I’d like more golds in the future, so want to improve my sprint events at the same time. The 200m is a different stroke style and the optimal weight you need to be is different too. I’d have to adjust my stroke a bit as I’d be coming out of the water too high for the longer distance event. The one thing I do I know is if I want more Olympic golds it's going to be tremendously hard work for over three years.”

Your family were out there watching you win gold…that must have been special as I’m sure they must have been supportive since you were a young boy? “Yes it’s their victory as well as mine, as they’ve taken me to the pool for training at ridiculous hours - 4am starts and giving up their evenings. They’ve always been so supportive. It’s a massive victory for them too. It was great for them to be there as my dad had never been abroad before – he enjoyed the plane journey!”

Do you find time to do any other sports? “I quite like cycling. I’ve got my own bike and go out for rides when I can. It’s only a small part of my training, not hugely, but I enjoy it in the summer. Otherwise I watch a bit of football now and then, though I’m not a religious follower.”

Will you be training on Christmas Day? “Yes I train every Christmas Day – do my cardio, going for a run before stuffing myself with Christmas dinner. Nothing changes there!”

Do you watch a lot of TV in between your swim training? “Yes I do, it’s a great way to relax between training sessions. At the moment I’m really enjoying The Crown, I love that series! I also love Westworld and I’ve done all the Games Of Thrones episodes. And for something lighter I watch Modern Family!”

What does it mean to be nominated for the BBC Sports Personality Award? “The occasion really is one of the pinnacles of sport in this country, so it’s such an honour, especially in this Olympic year. I can’t wait to get there. Everyone else is the list is just amazing, especially those in Team GB as we came second in the Olympic medal table. It’ll be my third time nominated and I’ve had such amazing times before. It will be terrific to get up on the stage in front of the huge audience and help give a good case for swimming, I love giving my sport a boost in any way I can.”

Is it amazing to be among so many sports stars at SPOTY? “It’s a great get together for all athletes. I mixed with quite a few at the Olympic village, from all sports, so this is a great opportunity to catch up with each other again, as everyone is usually so heavily in training now. We can chat and see how post-Olympics has been, and I like getting a different perspective on other sports. It’s just a great way to end the year, and we can all celebrate together.”
