All times CAT.
Football
Europe’s elite leagues return with a stretch of football that doesn’t ease you back in – it grabs you by the collar. From continental drama to domestic pressure points, this is a week where momentum shifts, title races sharpen and reputations are tested, all live on SuperSport.
It starts midweek with a blockbuster UEFA Champions League matchday. Every fixture, every storyline, every goal is available, as the competition’s league phase reaches a decisive moment. Giants look to secure their passage, outsiders chase history, and there’s no hiding place when 18 matches kick off simultaneously. It’s the Champions League at full throttle.
The weekend then pivots to Ligue 1, where Strasbourg v PSG feels like a trap disguised as a routine outing. PSG arrive as the standard-setters, but trips to Alsace have a habit of demanding focus and discipline. Strasbourg’s intensity and home support make this a test of PSG’s maturity, not just their star power.
In the Premier League, the narrative thickens fast. Leeds v Arsenal is a classic contrast: energy versus elegance. Leeds will press, run and scrap, while Arsenal arrive knowing control is non-negotiable in a title chase that allows no breathers. Later, Liverpool v Newcastle brings edge, noise and genuine stakes. Both sides expect to be in the conversation, and Anfield under the lights rarely does subtle.
Then there’s Tottenham v Manchester City – a fixture that never behaves. Spurs’ fearless approach meets City’s relentless precision, and the tactical chess match is as compelling as the individual brilliance on display. It’s the kind of game that can redefine seasons in 90 minutes.
Serie A serves up its own feast. Napoli v Fiorentina is a battle of identity, tempo and nerve, while Cremonese v Inter carries the familiar weight of expectation. Inter know these are the matches champions manage professionally. Parma v Juventus, meanwhile, is soaked in history. Juve’s authority is always questioned in places like this, where ambition meets tradition.
La Liga rounds things off with a run of must-watch encounters. Levante v Atletico Madrid promises grit and grind, Real Madrid v Rayo Vallecano offers derby-day tension with unpredictable edges, and Elche v Barcelona tests Barça’s consistency away from home. Finally, Athletic Bilbao v Real Sociedad delivers a Basque derby that needs no extra selling – just passion, pride and points.
This is football without filler. Big names, bigger moments, and stories unfolding in real time. SuperSport has it all – from Europe’s grandest stage to the leagues that shape the season’s truth.

Golf
The global golf calendar tees up a premium week, with three elite tournaments unfolding across different continents, each offering its own test of skill, temperament and ambition.
The DP World Tour heads to the Middle East for the Bahrain Championship, where precision is king and patience is non-negotiable. The desert layout rewards smart course management, crisp iron play and the ability to handle shifting conditions as the week wears on. With early-season momentum at stake, this is where contenders begin to separate themselves from the chasing pack, laying down markers for the months ahead.
Across the Atlantic, the LPGA season opens in celebratory style at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. A winners-only field ensures quality from the first tee shot, blending proven champions with emerging stars eager to announce themselves. Set against a vibrant backdrop, it’s a tournament that balances competitive edge with occasion, where confidence built here can echo throughout the year.
Meanwhile, the PGA Tour delivers one of its sternest challenges at the Farmers Insurance Open. Demanding fairways, punishing rough and small margins make this a true examination of championship golf. Success here is earned the hard way, rewarding discipline, resilience and nerve.
Three tours. Three stages. One compelling weekend of world-class golf, live on SuperSport Golf.

Rugby
The United Rugby Championship hits Round 11 with momentum building and margins tightening, as every fixture begins to carry real meaning in the race for playoff positions.
The weekend opens in Europe with contrasting tests of identity. Benetton v Scarlets brings together ambition and edge, while Warriors v Munster promises a collision of intensity and experience, with Munster’s physical authority facing a Glasgow side that thrives on tempo and ambition.
Saturday shifts the spotlight firmly south, and it doesn’t get bigger than Lions v Bulls. The Jukskei derby delivers familiar fire, physicality and pride, with both sides knowing that domestic bragging rights often translate into season-defining confidence. Shortly after, Sharks v Stormers lights up Durban in a clash that blends power with pace. These are two squads built to go deep, and statements made here resonate well beyond one weekend.
Elsewhere, Zebre v Connacht offers a chance for momentum to change hands, while Leinster v Edinburgh is a meeting of structure and ambition, where accuracy and discipline will be non-negotiable. The round closes with Ulster v Cardiff and Ospreys v Dragons, fixtures rich in regional rivalry and edge.
Round 11 isn’t about survival yet — but it’s about positioning, belief and setting the tone for what’s to come.

Cricket
With the men’s T20 World Cup just around the corner, this stretch of international cricket feels less like preparation and more like rehearsal. Every over, every role and every finish is under the microscope as teams sharpen their weapons for the biggest stage.
South Africa v West Indies sets the tone with a three-match series that promises power, pace and personality. These are two sides built for the shortest format, where margins are thin and momentum swings fast. For South Africa, it’s about balance – finding the right mix of explosiveness and control – while the West Indies arrive with their trademark flair and a point to prove. Expect big hits, brave bowling changes and finishes that test nerve as much as skill.
Across the subcontinent, India v New Zealand reaches its decisive phase. The final two matches of the series bring tactical intrigue, with depth, adaptability and match-ups front and centre. India’s firepower meets New Zealand’s cool efficiency in contests that often hinge on execution under pressure – a familiar World Cup preview in miniature.
The women’s game also takes centre stage in New Zealand’s Super Smash, where the Eliminator and Final deliver everything knockout cricket promises. It’s high-stakes, high-tempo and unforgiving, showcasing emerging talent and proven performers when it matters most.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka v England adds another layer of intrigue. England’s white-ball blueprint continues to evolve, while Sri Lanka’s conditions and creativity provide a demanding test. It’s a series that rewards innovation and clarity of purpose – exactly what teams crave heading into a global tournament.
From Johannesburg to Jaipur, from Colombo to Christchurch, this is cricket in fast-forward. Form is fleeting, confidence is currency, and with a World Cup looming, there’s no such thing as a quiet game. SuperSport brings every moment as the countdown accelerates.

Motorsport
Speed, strategy and spectacle take centre stage as electric innovation and endurance excellence share the spotlight in a weekend built for motorsport purists.
Formula E arrives in Florida for the Miami ePrix, where precision matters as much as pace. The tight, technical nature of the circuit places a premium on energy management, braking efficiency and timing – the core skills that define success in Formula E. Practice sessions will be about fine margins and data gathering, before qualifying turns intensity up several notches. By race time, it’s wheel-to-wheel action, strategic gambles and late-race drama as drivers balance aggression with conservation under the Florida lights. With the championship finely poised, Miami promises a race where brains can be as decisive as bravery.
Alongside the electric sprint, endurance racing delivers its own brand of tension in the Asian Le Mans Series. Rounds 3 and 4 form a decisive double-header, where consistency across long stints is just as valuable as outright speed. Teams must manage traffic, tyre wear and driver changes while keeping one eye on the bigger championship picture. Every hour adds pressure, and small mistakes are magnified over distance.
Together, these events showcase motorsport’s contrasting rhythms: the explosive intensity of a single-race showdown and the slow-burn drama of endurance competition. It’s a weekend that rewards adaptability, focus and flawless execution, as drivers and teams chase performance across two very different arenas.

Variety
It’s a week where sport doesn’t just compete for your attention — it stacks the schedule and dares you to look away. From hardwood intensity to Grand Slam tension, from combat sports chaos to endurance excellence, SuperSport delivers a multi-code surge that hits every nerve.
The NBA sets the rhythm early with a trio of heavyweight regular-season matchups. Cavaliers v Magic is a test of depth and discipline, Timberwolves v Warriors blends youthful hunger with championship muscle memory, and 76ers v Bucks brings star power and playoff-calibre edge. These are the kinds of nights where statements are made quietly in January and remembered loudly in May.
In Melbourne, the Australian Open reaches its business end. Days 10 to 14 strip tennis back to its rawest form — pressure points, aching legs and careers pivoting on single shots. The women’s semifinals set the tone, the men’s semifinals raise the stakes, and by the weekend the trophies are in sight. Finals weekend is pure theatre: no safety net, no second chances, just nerve versus nerve under the Rod Laver Arena lights.
On the roads of Saudi Arabia, the AlUla Tour adds a different kind of drama. Five days of racing across striking terrain test climbing legs, sprint timing and team tactics, where seconds matter and mistakes linger.
Closer to home, South Africa v England in netball brings international edge and pride. It’s a series built on speed, precision and physicality, as the Proteas measure themselves against one of the world’s benchmarks in a crucial phase of their cycle.
Saturday night detonates with WWE’s Royal Rumble — unpredictable, theatrical and unmissable — before combat sport takes over in the early hours with UFC 325, where Volkanovski v Lopes 2 promises elite skill, unfinished business and absolute intensity.
The weekend closes on the streets of Dubai with the 25th edition of the Dubai Marathon, where endurance, ambition and human willpower stretch to their limits.
