Your Guide to the World Athletics Ultimate Championships 2026

The inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship kicks off on the 11th September in Budapest and will run for over three fast-paced sessions across the evenings this weekend in what is essentially a mini world championship, but only for the best athletes in the world this year based on season's bests, and that's it: no limit on the number of athletes per nation per discipline; it's just the fastest and strongest athletes in the world. Only the sprints have semi-finals: the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, sprint hurdles and 400mH; every other track event and all the field events just go straight into a final, meaning this championship is going to be very fast-paced, and the aim of each session is to have virtually zero downtime between races and to go straight from one race into another.

Championship 1-24 predictions 26/27

It's time club football is back after the first round of the Carabao Cup last weekend; the action properly gets underway this weekend as the best league in the world returns after a wild season last year, culminating in Coventry, Ipswich and Hull going up and Oxford, Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday going down. This promises to be one of the best Championship seasons ever, with the expanded playoff format leading to, by my reckoning, at least 18 clubs that reckon they have a chance of making that top 8, so expect the Championship to be as close as ever this season.  All transfer fees listed below are from Transfermarkt

Commonwealth Games Day 1 Preview

The Commonwealth Games officially kick off today, and while bowls group stages started yesterday, Friday sees the first real action kicking off, including the first medal events of the games. I'm going to aim to preview and review/react to every single day to the key storylines and every medal event but due to the sheer amount of action taking place in Glasgow im going to primarily focus on Athletics, Swimming, Gymnastics and Track Cycling as these are in my opinion, the four most intriguing sports out of the ten taking place at the smaller than usual Commonwealth games in Glasgow due to being put on at short notice after Victoria had to drop out due to limited funding.

World Cup Group K Preview

A very interesting group with one of the most talented teams in the tournament in Portugal, a Colombia team with one of the best wingers in the world but not a lot else and two teams at the bottom, either returning after decades away or making their debut. A group where many different things could happen

Reigning champions Argentina have been handed a very manageable group in Group J, but the fight to get through this group will be close. Austria and Algeria are very well matched, and debutants Jordan are a level below the other two but have the attacking players to cause both Austria and Algeria major problems

World Cup Group I Preview

The hardest group at this tournament has three teams that will fancy their chances of making at least the quarter-finals: France, Senegal and Norway and poor Iraq, who, despite being pretty good as pot 4 teams go, have been handed a death sentence before a ball has even been kicked

World Cup Group H Preview

Group H is Spain's to lose; they have been handed maybe the easiest group of any team in the tournament. Uruguay are not as scary as they have been historically and are closer talent-wise to Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde than they are to Spain, and both Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde should be happy if they win a match.

World Cup Group G Preview

Group G is one of the weaker groups in the tournament. Belgium should walk it, but the battle for second between Iran, Egypt and New Zealand should be close and hard-fought, with no obvious favourite for it.
