Live sport on TV this week: 22 – 29 October

The start of a new season is always exciting, and there are fresh campaigns getting under way on Virgin TV this week. With England’s players still basking in the glory of a World Cup win, the Women’s Rugby Premiership begins with live matches on TNT Sports and BBC iPlayer. Meanwhile in the US, the NBA gets under way, and fans will find the action on Sky Sports and Prime Video.
There’s plenty more live action elsewhere this week (Wednesday 22 to Wednesday 29 October), including some intriguing men’s football matches in the Premier League, EFL Championship, Scottish Premiership, UEFA Europa League, EFL Cup and more. Women’s football is on an international break with England, Wales and Scotland all in action on Virgin TV. On top of that there’s Women’s World Cup cricket, cycling, NFL, tennis, golf, gymnastics, motorsport and much more, including baseball’s World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

You can also see one of the biggest MMA events of the year as Britain’s UFC heavyweight champ defends his title against France’s Ciryl Gane. Watch all the action live from Abu Dhabi on Saturday night live on TNT Sports Box Office – here’s what you need to know. Read on to see the full week’s guide plus our picks every day – and don’t forget British Summer Time ends on Sunday 26 October at 2am, so make sure you put your clocks back an hour and you won’t miss anything.
