It's a rest day at the Tour de France on Monday so our live offerings begin on Tuesday – and what a bumper selection we have for you. We start at 11am (all times BST) with rugby union as the British & Irish Lions follow the first Test against Australia by squeezing in another tour match, against First Nations & Pasifika. Expect a much-changed team as squad players get their chance to shine. The Tour de France rolls out at around noon with a 172km ride from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, where the riders face 22km of sheer hell as they head for a summit finish. At 1pm there's cricket over-by-over coverage of the third women's ODI between England and India in Durham – and we'll have a separate rolling report on the latest round of men's County Championship matches. Our matchday live football blog will cover all of the buildup to the Women's Euro 2025 semi-final between reigning champions, England, and much-improved Italy. We'll then bring you unrivalled minute-by-minute coverage of events at the Stade de Genève st 8pm.
To Wednesday and it's the highly anticipated fourth men's cricket Test between England and India, with the hosts leading 2-1. The County Championship blog will run alongside this as we cover the day-two action. Play begins at 11am at Old Trafford where the weather could play its part in what has been a dramatic series so far. At noon the Tour de France offers riders a little respite on a flat 161km stage between Bollène and Valence which gives the sprinters an opportunity for a stage victory and some more points in the race for the green jersey. And matchday live will cover the reaction from England v Italy and the buildup to Spain v Germany as we gear up for the second Euro 2025 semi-final.
We're well into our stride by Thursday, with day two of the fourth Test from 11am – and our County Championship blog for company – while our rolling report of stage 18 of the Tour de France (the first of two Alpine stages) kicks off at noon. We'll also have a news blog soaking up all the reaction after the second semi-final at Euro 2025.
On Friday, it's day three of the fourth Test, the final day of the County Championship fixtures and stage 19 of the Tour continues through the Alps. You can keep abreast of all the latest football transfers and Euro 2025 final buildup in our live news blog throughout the day.
Saturday begins at 11am with a blockbuster in Melbourne as the British & Irish Lions take on the Wallabies in a second Test that could be decisive. At the same time, we'll be all over day four of the fourth Test at Old Trafford and at noon the penultimate stage of the Tour de France begins in Nantua. Will Tadej Pogacar hold on to the yellow jersey? Stage one of the Tour de France Femmes begins in Vannes and ends in Plumelec – and we'll be sure to bring you updates. It's also qualifying for the F1 Belgian Grand Prix, with points on offer in the sprint race. We'll be covering it all live with our lap-by-lap report on a weekend in which Red Bull take to the track in their first GP in the post-Christian Horner era. A day out from the Euro 2025 final, we'll be all over the latest news in our live football blog.
We end the week with a big one, as the men's Tour de France returns to its traditional Paris Champs Élysées finish, the Tour de France Femmes heads into stage two (a 120km trek from Brest to Quimper), the fifth day of the fourth Test could provide fireworks at Old Trafford and there will be burnt rubber at Spa-Francorchamps in F1's Belgian Grand Prix from 2pm. And then we focus on the big one: the Euro 2025 final at St Jakob-Park in Basel. We'll whet your appetite by covering all the news and reader views in the buildup, before covering every kick of the match in our minute-by-minute coverage from 8pm.
