With a total prize fund of £405,000 to play for, the world’s top green baise talent will be on show this week for the 2020 English Open – read on to find out how to watch all the snooker action online from this prestigious tournament below.

In an effort to comply with government Covid-19 social distancing guidelines, this year’s tournament will be played across two venues, with the qualifiers and first round set to be staged at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes before heading to its regular home of the York Barbican for the second round onwards.

Former world number one and defending champion Mark Selby comes into the tournament as favourite.

The 37-year-old, “Jester from Leicester” thrashed practice partner David Gilbert 9-1 to lift last year’s trophy, restricting his opponent to just 14 points in the first four frames. Selby is set to kick off his campaign against China’s Fan Zhengyi on the opening day with fan favourite Ronnie O’Sullivan drawn against France’s Brian Ochoiski…

Lewis Hamilton will get a second shot at matching Michael Schumacher’s all-time win record this weekend as the F1 cavalcade heads to Germany with the return of a legendary circuit. Read on full details on how to get an Eifel Grand Prix F1 live stream no matter where you are in the world.

Marking the first F1 race at the iconic Nürburgring circuit since 2013 – this weekend’s event looks set to be a bittersweet one for the Schumacher family – as well as the motor racing legend’s record potentially being levelled, the former Ferrari star’s son Mick is set to make his official F1 debut driving for Alfa Romeo in the practice sessions.

Those taking to the grid this weekend will likely be battling as much with the weather as other drivers, with heavy rain forecast for most of the weekend and Friday’s schedule upended thanks to fog.

With seven races remaining, Hamilton will be looking to maintain his 44 point lead over his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the championship.

International rugby returns with a bang this weekend, headed up by this Bledisloe Cup clash in Wellington – read on to find out how to watch New Zealand vs Australia with our live stream guide.

Having been reduced to a two-match series last year to accommodate the Rugby World Cup, the 2019 Bledisloe Cup saw honours even with both sides winning their home matches.

This weekend’s clash marks the first of two consecutive home ties for the All Blacks in this four-match series. The two teams are set to meet next weekend at Eden Park in Auckland ahead of game three next month at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, with the series concluding with Game 4 at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium on December 12 – a match that’s also set to double as the final game of the Rugby Championship.

With a huge war of words breaking out between the two countries’ rugby associations over the scheduling of this year’s games along with disagreements over Covid-19 precautions, there’s a fair chance that the growing off-field a…

With problems at both ends of the field, New York travels to the Coliseum looking for their first win of the season – read on for full details on how to watch Giants vs Rams, no matter where you are in the world.

The visitors have lost all three of their opening games by four points of more, with a misfiring offense that has failed to score more than 16 points in a single game.

Those woes have been compounded by the season-long loss of star running back Saquon Barkley, along with a now struggling defence which shipped 36 points along with 420 total yards in their defeat to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

The Rams return to their home stadium after back-to-back games on the road in the East. Having made a strong start to the season, they’ll be looking to put last weekend’s events behind them. Although quarterback Jared Goff clocked up a creditable 321 passing yards, alongside Darrell Henderson registering 114 rushing yards, the Rams still came up short at Buffalo on Sunday, lo…

Boosted by their first win of the season, Detroit welcomes New Orleans to Ford Field on Sunday – read on for full details on how to watch Saints vs Lions, no matter where you are in the world.

The last-gasp nature of the Lions 26-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend will have given head coach Matt Patricia’s cause to feel a bit more optimistic following his side’s slow start.

Detroit’s win, which brought to an end an 11-game losing streak, came off the back of a dogged defensive display, while quarterback Matt Stafford offered up his best game of the season on Sunday, notching up 270 passing yards with two touchdowns.

For the Saints, Sunday’s game gives them an opportunity to get back on track after two straight losses.

Having started the season brightly with a promising win in their opener against Tampa Bay, their defense has started to show worrying cracks.

Thankfully they have an offense that has the potential to negate those shortcomings, having scored 30 poin…

Postponed from its usual April slot on the sporting calendar, the rejigged 2020 edition of the London Marathon finally takes place this weekend – read on to find out how to watch this iconic race online, no matter where in the world you are.

This year’s rescheduled event will only feature elite runners who have prepared for the event within a biosecure bubble in an ‘athletes only’ hotel outside of London. The route is also set to be somewhat unfamiliar, eschewing its famous trip around the UK capital’s landmarks for a more Covid-19-safe revised 19.6 lap closed-loop circuit around St James’s Park.

The race marks the first major event of the year for the majority of runners taking part on Sunday, with the big talking point a rare and much-anticipated match up between world record-holder Eliud Kipchoge and 2019 Berlin Marathon winner Kenenisa Bekele.

With weather conditions currently favouring fast finishing times, both runners will also have one eye on setting a new marathon world rec…

With both teams coming into this week 3 clash on a 0-2 low, a first win is imperative to lift morale. Read on for full details on how to watch Bengals vs Eagles, no matter where you are in the world.

Cincinnati comes into this clash in the better shape of the two teams, having put up plenty of fight in their opening two defeats.

Having found themselves 28-16 down against Cleveland coming into the fourth quarter on Thursday, the Bengals mounted a spirited comeback, outscoring their opponents by seven points in the final quarter to give the Browns a genuine scare.

Rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has had an impressive debut season, throwing for 509 yards, three touchdowns, with only one interception in his first two games.

The struggling Eagles meanwhile are yet to score 20 points in a match and suffered a shocking 27-17 opening day defeat to Washington that somehow saw them squander a solid 17-0 lead.

Philadelphia still looked shell-shocked from that trauma against the LA Rams in th…

The Las Vegas Raiders head to the Gillette Stadium looking to protect their undefeated record – but will the Patriots bounce back following an agonizing defeat. Read on for full details on how to watch Raiders vs Patriots, no matter where you are in the world.

The Raiders got off to a flyer at their home in Las Vegas on Monday Night Football, seeing off the New Orleans Saints 34-24.

Key to that victory was a strong performance from quarterback Derek Carr who threw for 282 yards, notching up three touchdowns and no interceptions. Josh Jacobs also made a big mark, adding 88 yards on the ground in the win, though the running back is a major doubt for this match-up after sitting out training on Thursday with a hip injury.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will be looking to rally his troops after his side’s demoralizing capitulation to the Seattle Seahawks on the road – New England’s first loss in the post-Tom Brady era.

Quarterback Cam Newton threw for 397 yards, claiming one touch…

Beset by injuries, both these teams come into this clash depleted, preparing to go into battle on the field that’s ominously been nicknamed the “Injury Bowl”. Read on for full details on how to watch the Giants vs the 49ers, no matter where you are in the world.

The 49ers are playing their second game in a week at the MetLife and have raised concerns over the stadium’s new surface, after seeing four key players, including NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa, all suffer knee injuries during the game.

The 49ers won that game 31-13 but the heavy price paid looks set to have major repercussions for the rest of their season.

The patched-up 49ers will be looking for another road victory on Sunday as they hope to move off the bottom of the NFC West.

The Giants also have treatment table woes of their own, after losing star running back Saquon Barkley to a torn ACL in their 17-13 defeat to the Chicago Bears last Sunday.

Barkley’s injury compounds a wretched start for the Giants, h…

While neither of these sides were unfancied going into the new campaign, both showed encouraging signs in their opening matches in week 1 – read on for full details on how to watch Chicago Bears vs New York Giants, no matter where you are in the world.

While slow to get going, the Bears made a spirited rally against the Detroit Lions, with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky leading the way in their fourth-quarter comeback.

It marked the first time that the Bears had scored 21 points in the fourth quarter since 2014, but coach Matt Nagy will be expecting his side to get into gear much earlier at home on Sunday.

Sunday’s game sees the Giants head back to Soldier Field, where they lost 19-14 last November. That match saw the Giants lead at halftime, 7-3, but then conceded 16 unanswered points in the third quarter.

While they ultimately succumbed 16-26 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, the Giants nevertheless held their own for large parts of the game against one of the league’s bes…
