Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Guide to sport on television (Monday – Sunday, June 9th – June 15th)

Soccer

The 2025 Fifa Club World Cup begins on Sunday in the United States. This edition is not the same competition as before – two years ago, seven teams competed in Saudi Arabia, with Manchester City beating Fluminense of Brazil in the final. City are back again to defend their title, along with Chelsea and 10 other European clubs in a 32-team month-long tournament. And you thought the club season was over! - June 14th-July 13th, DAZN

Motorsport

The 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans takes place at the weekend in the famous circuit located between the French cities of Paris and Nantes. The car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours is the winner. Simple. It’s not just one car, one driver, though – and, in one of the classes (LMGT3) Belfast’s Charlie Eastwood will be behind the wheel. - Saturday & Sunday, TNT Sports

Golf

The 125th US Open, the third of the four men’s majors in golf, takes place at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. Recent Masters champion Rory McIlroy will, of course, be one of the favourites, along with last month’s PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler and reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who pipped McIlroy to the title in 2024. - Thursday-Sunday, Sky Sports
