Paralympics

The 2024 Games of the Paralympiad begin on Wednesday with the Opening Ceremony in Paris. There will be 22 sports on show over the next week and a half – including athletics, judo, rowing, swimming and wheelchair rugby. Nine of those sports will involve Irish representation, with Team Ireland being made up of 35 athletes. – RTÉ & Channel 4, Aug 28th – Sep 8th

Golf

The Women’s Irish Open takes place this week at Carton House. Olympian Leona Maguire – who recently became the first Irish winner on the Ladies European Tour – will compete at the Co Kildare course. The reigning champion is Denmark’s Smilla Tarning Sønderby. – Sky Sports & RTÉ, Thursday-Sunday

Soccer

It may only be the opening stages of the new Scottish Premiership season, but Old Firm clashes are always highly-anticipated, six-pointers. Weekend visitors to Celtic Park, Rangers will be anxious to kick-start their own season, as well as put a dent in Celtic’s four-in-a-row ambitions. – Sky Sports, Sunday
