Guide to sport on television (Monday – Sunday, June 30th – July 6th)

Tennis

The most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, the Wimbledon Championships are underway in London. Among the favourites again for the men’s singles title will be Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Novak Djokovic in last year’s decider. In women’s singles, injury has tormented reigning champion Barbora Krejčíková lately, which opens the door for Aryna Sabalenka and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina. – BBC, June 30th-July 13th

Soccer

The 2025 Women’s Euro Finals will take place in Switzerland during the month of July. Disappointingly, the Republic of Ireland narrowly failed to qualify for the 16-team tournament, which does include reigning champions England and 2023 World Cup winners Spain. – RTÉ, BBC & UTV, July 2nd-27th

Cycling

The most famous annual bicycle race in the world begins again at the weekend with the Grand Départ of the 2025 Tour de France taking place in Lille. Three weeks, 21 stages, and more than 3,300km later, the race will end at the Champs-Élysées in Paris. – ITV & TNT Sports, July 5th-27th
