Football: Premier League

It’s a little bit later than usual, but we’re finally at the halfway stage of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are still in a strong position at the top of the table, but they must maintain their form if they are going to stay ahead of the chasing pack, including champions Manchester City. You can watch them take on struggling Everton on 4 February.

Also this month, both Liverpool and Chelsea will feel they have not performed to their potential so far – which should make their clash at Anfield all the more interesting as they will both be keen for three points. Chelsea then face the short trip to West Ham United, who will also feel this season could have gone better.

Football: UEFA Champions League

The Champions League returns with the opening round-of-16 ties on Valentine’s Day, and the romantics among us will be hoping that surprise package Club Brugge will maintain their group form and keep progressing through the competition. In Scott Parker they have a new coach who’s untested at this level, but they’ve avoided the biggest Euro superclubs and will be confident of success against Benfica. 

As for the English teams, Tottenham and Chelsea will both need to improve their form if they’re to get past difficult opponents – as will Liverpool, who return to European action the following week against holders Real Madrid. Man City, who will be laser-focused on Champions League glory this season, face RB Leipzig.

Football: National League

Table-topping Notts County’s clash against local rivals Chesterfield is the highlight this month. The Magpies are sitting pretty at the top of the league, but the Spireites have a promotion plan of their own as they aim to make the play-offs.

Elsewhere, fellow promotion chasers Wrexham – buoyed by their FA Cup upset – face Altrincham, strugglers Scunthorpe travel to Halifax, and Dorking host Southend.

Football: Serie A

Like the Premier League, Italy’s top division is also at the halfway stage, and it’ll be interesting to see if Napoli and their top-scoring Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen can win the club’s first Serie A title since 1990 – the Maradona era. Their clash with Roma on 29 January is among this month’s highlights, with the Milan derby on 5 February also set to tickle your tastebuds.

Roma and the Milan clubs are part of a six-strong chasing pack who will be aiming for at least a European place. And there are more matches between members of that group to enjoy this month, including Atalanta’s trip to Juventus, and Lazio’s home games against Atalanta and AC Milan.

Football: Ligue 1

It’s a familiar sight in Ligue 1 as the superstar-laden PSG look in good shape to defend their title, but after a couple of recent defeats and with Lens not too far behind, they’ve certainly not got it sewn up yet – anything is possible in the second half of the season.

You can catch PSG’s home match against Reims on 29 January, while Lorient v Rennes and Marseille v Monaco – all in the chasing pack – should also provide unpredictable entertainment.

Football: Primeira Liga

Benfica are aiming for an astonishing 38th top-flight title, and things are so far going to plan. See how Roger Schmidt’s side fare as they travel to the Azores for their game against Santa Clara, who will want to steer themselves away from trouble at the other end of the table.

Football: A-League Men

Melbourne’s two A-League Men’s clubs (with apologies to Western United, who are based just outside the city in Truganina) have had very different seasons so far. Victory sit rock bottom at the time of writing with just three wins and 10 goals from 11 games, and they also have a suspended 10-point deduction hanging over them after crowd trouble in their home game against neighbours City – which could further damage their already unenviable position.

City, meanwhile, are enjoying life at the other end of the table and Socceroos youngster Marco Tilio has deservedly been attracting interest from Europe. You can see their matches with Brisbane Roar, Adelaide United and Macarthur FC as they aim to see off the challengers and claim top spot at the end of the season.

Football: A-League Women

It’s a big year for women’s football Down Under, with Australia and New Zealand hosting the World Cup in July and August. After the huge success of Euro 2022 in England, players from both countries will know that leading their national team to glory could change their lives.

In the A-League Women, Sydney FC are chasing their fourth title but they are not the only side in scintillating form, with Western United also getting in on the act. This month you can catch Sydney’s games against Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City, and United’s clashes with Brisbane Roar, Canberra United and Perth Glory.

Rugby Union: European Champions Cup

The Champions Cup continues this month as the South African newcomers – KwaZulu Natal’s Sharks, Pretoria’s Bulls and Cape Town’s Stormers – compete for the first time, and all three have shown they belong by notching up victories early on. And with the 2023 Six Nations also beginning in February, fans of the UK nations will hope their stars will stay fit…

It’s no exaggeration to say that Saracens are flying this season, with the runaway leaders proving difficult to beat, but Sale Sharks have also had a solid campaign that’s taken them to second position in the Premiership.

Cricket: International League T20

The global popularity of the T20 format is such that a new competition has been formed in the United Arab Emirates. Running for a month, the ILT20 – which features former England Test captain Joe Root playing for the Dubai Capitals – has six brand new franchise teams that play each other twice in the initial round-robin stage.

The top four then advance to the play-offs, with the third- and fourth-placed teams playing each other in the Eliminator and the top two teams playing in Qualifier 1. Whoever wins the Eliminator will then play the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2, the winner of which will play the winner of Qualifier 1 in the final on 12 February in Dubai.

Motorsport: World Rally Championship

The 2023 championship gets off to a flying start in Monte Carlo this month, and there’s an exciting change: the location’s most famous stage, Col de Turini, will host the rally-ending powerstage and will also have slots on both Thursday evening and Sunday morning. Last season it only had a single pass on the first night, and was entirely absent from the 2021 itinerary.

After Monte Carlo, the action moves to Umeå in Sweden at the start of a 13-round 2023 calendar.

Hockey: FIH Men’s World Cup

Netherlands became the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals with two 4-0 wins over Malaysia and New Zealand, with Belgium, Argentina and world no1 side Australia all looking strong. England put themselves in a great position by starting with a convincing 5-0 win over Wales and then gaining a creditable draw with hosts India ahead of their crunch Pool D clash with Spain. It’s all shaping up nicely for the knockout stages…

Hockey: FIH Women’s Pro League

Australia hosts a mini-tournament this month as the FIH Pro League’s 2022/23 season’s schedule continues.

At the Sydney event, the Hockeyroos host China and Germany, with each team playing each other twice over a six-day period. Germany, the only nation of the three to have played so far this season, have five points after shoot-out wins over Argentina and Belgium.

MMA: UFC

UFC fans are in for a couple of post-Christmas treats this month.

In the first fight, Glover Teixeira takes on Jamahal Hill in UFC 283, marking the promotion’s first visit to Brazil in two years. Teixeira will hope to bounce back from his loss to Jiri Prochazka while Hill has recorded three wins in a row via stoppage.

Two weeks later, attention turns to Derrick Lewis and Sergei Spivak’s fight in Vegas 68. Lewis could have his work cut out, as Spivak has won five of his last six fights against the heavyweight elite.

There’s then the rather large matter of UFC 284 to look forward to, as featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski moves into a new weight division to take on lightweight champ Islam Makhachev for the 155lb belt in Perth, Australia.

Boxing

Anthony Yarde has his second shot at becoming a world title holder when he fights unified light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev at Wembley. Russian-Canadian fighter Beterbiev holds the WBC, WBA and IBF light-heavyweight belts and has an 18-0 record, so the British boxer will need to have the fight of his life if he is to cause an upset.

The entertainment continues on BT Sport this month with regular NXT, Friday Night SmackDown and Monday Night Raw programmes all on the calendar.
