Formula One Rolex British Grand Prix
From Friday 6 July, 10am, Sky Sports F1®/HD (CH 516/506)
World champion Lewis Hamilton has history in his sights at Silverstone this year, with the Brit looking to win a record fifth consecutive home Grand Prix. Can Stevenage’s finest roar his way to victory, or will title rivals Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo spoil the party? With Sky Sports’ unrivalled coverage of the entire race weekend, you don’t have to miss a thing.
Wimbledon
Continues Friday 6 July, BBC One/HD (CH 101/108)
The ace action is hotting up in south west London, as the most unmissable of tennis tournaments nears the end of its first week. So grab a bowl of strawberries and cream, get ready to giggle when the umpire says “new balls, please!” and enjoy the sporting spectacle as the world’s best players grace the grass at the All England Club.
FIFA World Cup 2018: Quarter-finals
From Friday 6 July, 3pm, BBC One/HD (CH 101/108) + ITV/HD (CH 103/113)
It’s crunch time in Russia, but which nations are ready to step up and make it through to the semi-finals? Your guess is as good as ours. Want even more World Cup action to feed your hunger? From our comprehensive fixtures guide to player profiles and much, much more, we’ve got it all right here.
Tour de France
From Saturday 7 July, 9.30am, ITV4/HD (CH 118/178)
When it comes to sporting spectacles that are très bon, there’s nothing like the Tour de France. Stage one of this year’s historic bike race starts in picturesque Noirmoutier, before the whole thing ends up in Paris on 29 July. The favourite? That’ll be Chris Froome. The Brit is going for a fourth title in a row and fifth overall. The question is, does he have what it takes to beat the chasing pack again over 21 gruelling stages?
England v India: First ODI
Thursday 12 July, 12pm, Sky Sports Cricket/HD (CH 514/504)
As the world’s top-ranked ODI team, the pressure is on England to defeat India at Trent Bridge in the first encounter of their three-match series. But Eoin Morgan and co should be cautious, because the tourists are pretty handy when it comes to the 50-over format.
