We have arrived in summer. But while there are plenty of reasons to head into the great outdoors, inside, BT Sport has you covered this July with top drama from across the sporting spectrum.
There’s everything you neeed to keep you glued to your sofa – from T20 action in the West Indies to UFC Fight Nights and the highly-anticipated Lyndon Arthur and Davide Farici bout. Plus WWE shows, a host of epic motorsport encounters and the live finals of the FA Disability Cup. This summer of sport is so hot, you might need to find some aftersun lotion, and pronto.
Don’t forget you can stay bang up to speed with every goal, try, knockout and dash for the chequered flag wherever there is 3G, 4G, 5G or WiFi on the brilliant Virgin TV Go app.
Scroll down to discover all of the biggest picks heading to BT Sport this July.
Cricket
There’s plenty of cricket to get stuck into this month, with T20 and Test action as the West Indies first take on Australia, and then Pakistan. Having recently played South Africa, the Men In Maroon will feel like they have more to give than they showed in that Test series. And with superstars in the ranks like Chris Gayle and Andre Russell, you suspect it is only a matter of time before they come good.

Boxing
London’s Royal Albert Hall, normally the home of the Proms and classical music, sees a potential classic of a different kind as Lyndon Arthur takes on Davide Faraci with the WBO International Cruiserweight title on the line. It's the undefeated Arthur’s first defence of the belt after beating fellow Brit Anthony Yarde back in December. Faraci, with a 15-0 record and seven knockouts, presents a different type of challenge. But should King Arthur beat the Italian, all eyes will be on whether Joe Smith Jr’s world title is next

Football
Five finals await in The FA Disability Cup, live from St. George’s Park, which includes Amputee, Blind, Cerebral Palsy, Partially Sighted and Powerchair football, and all contested by the best grassroots teams in the country. Disability football has seen a sharp decrease in participation since the start of the pandemic, so with the dream of reaching the national football centre already achieved, which sides will take the glory and inspire the next generation?
