Sunderland v Burnley (Premier League)

Sunderland v Burnley (Premier League)

Coverage of the Premier League match at Stadium of Light. Burnley claimed a 2-0 win in August's reverse fixture at Turf Moor courtesy of goals by Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony, but Sunderland have enjoyed a far stronger season than their fellow promoted side so far and will expect to make home advantage count this evening.

3rd February, 2026
Arsenal v Chelsea (EFL Cup)

Arsenal v Chelsea (EFL Cup)

Coverage of the semi-final second-leg tie from Emirates Stadium. The first leg at Stamford Bridge ended 3-2 to the Gunners in a thrilling cup tie that saw Arsenal go two goals ahead twice before Chelsea fought back. Ben White and Viktor Gyokeres had given Mikel Arteta's side a 2-0 lead before Alejandro Garnacho halved the deficit. Martin Zubimendi had then made it 3-1 to Arsenal in the 71st minute before Garnacho struck again with seven minutes remaining to give Chelsea a fighting chance in this second leg.

2026 Premier League Darts (Darts)

2026 Premier League Darts (Darts)

Coverage from the first round of the season, which takes place at Utilita Arena Newcastle. Last season saw Luke Humphries beat Luke Littler 11-8 in the final at the O2 in London to claim the Premier League title for the first time. Humphries had beaten Nathan Aspinall 10-7 to reach the final, while Littler beat Gerwyn Price by the same scoreline in the other semi-final to set up the showdown.

6th February, 2026
Leeds United v Nottingham Forest (Premier League)

Leeds United v Nottingham Forest (Premier League)

Coverage of the Premier League match from Elland Road. Both sides are fighting to stay in the top flight currently so three points for either side would be a massive result in their quest to retain their Premier League status. The reverse fixture back in November saw the visitors take all three points as they came from behind to beat their hosts 3-1 at the City Ground.

6th February, 2026
Charlton Athletic v Queens Park Rangers (Football League)

Charlton Athletic v Queens Park Rangers (Football League)

Coverage of the Championship match from The Valley. The reverse fixture back in late August saw the visitors score two late goals to earn themselves a 3-1 victory at home. Paul Smyth had given QPR an early lead before Rob Apter scored a 54th-minute equaliser, only for Koki Saito and Richard Kone to score goals in the last 13 minutes to give the visitors all three points.

14th February, 2026
Ireland v Italy (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Ireland v Italy (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Coverage of Round 2 of the Six Nations from the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Ireland come into this clash against Italy with a dominant head‑to‑head record stretching back decades — they have won the vast majority of their meetings and beat Italy 22‑17 in Rome last season. Italy, who have shown encouraging form in recent campaigns and avoided finishing last in the previous two editions, will be aiming to build on that progress and trouble Ireland on home turf.

15th February, 2026
Wales v France (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Wales v France (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Coverage of Round 2 of the Six Nations from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Wales host France in a fixture that has often produced tight contests, though France have enjoyed more success in recent years and enter as defending champions looking to assert early control of the table. The Welsh side will be aiming to arrest a difficult run in Championship play and find momentum from passionate home support.

21st February, 2026
England v Ireland (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

England v Ireland (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Coverage of Round 3 of the Six Nations from Twickenham Stadium. England host one of their fiercest rivals in a clash that could shape the title race, having last met Ireland in Dublin where defence was at a premium. Historically this fixture is tight — England won narrowly at home in 2025 — and Ireland will be looking to overturn Travelling Blues’ advantage with a breakthrough road win.
