NHL: Edmonton Oilers v Los Angeles Kings
Monday 14th 02:00AM GMT (15th)/8:00PM Local
Rogers Place, Edmonton
As the NHL regular season enters its final week, the Edmonton Oilers host the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Place. The Oilers, third in the Pacific Division, sit in third-place just two points behind the second-placed Kings. As the playoff seedings stand, this game will be a preview of a first-round series that will pit the two sides against one another. The regular season continues for the rest of the week before the playoffs get underway on Saturday.
NBA: Golden State Warriors v Memphis Grizzlies
Tuesday 15th 02:00AM GMT (16th)/7:00PM Local
Chase Center, San Francisco
The Golden State Warriors host the Memphis Grizzlies in the first game of the NBA Western Conference Play-In Tournament at the Chase Center. Despite their midseason trade for Jimmy Butler, the Warriors were condemned to the Play-In Tournament with an OT loss to the Clippers to end the regular season. However, the Warriors can still rely on 37-year-old Steph Curry, who was the league’s 14th-best scorer this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies will be hoping that their leading scorer, Ja Morant, will be healthy for the game against Golden State. The winning team will meet the Houston Rockets in the first round of the Playoffs.
UEFA Champions League: Inter Milan v Bayern Munich
Wednesday 16th 7:00PM GMT/9:00PM Local
San Siro, Milan
A late Davide Frattesi goal is all that separates Inter Milan and Bayern Munich as the Italian side host their German opponents at the San Siro in the second leg of the Champions League Quarterfinals. While the first leg was a closely contested affair, Milan came away with a 2-1 win on the road. That puts the team 90 minutes from a likely Semi-final with Barcelona. However, the German juggernauts – and six-time tournament champions – are perhaps at their most dangerous when playing from behind and won’t go down without a fight.
AFL: Brisbane Lions v Collingwood
Thursday 17th 09:30AM GMT/7:30PM Local
The Gabba, Brisbane
The Gabba plays host to another installment of one of the AFL’s fiercest rivalries as the Brisbane Lions host Collingwood. So far this season, Brisbane are undefeated and making a strong case for the league’s first title defence since 2020. The Lions are led by Zac Bailey, who has notched 12 goals in the first five games. Brisbane will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak against their bitter rivals. Meanwhile, Collingwood are 4-1 for the season and are riding a four-game win streak after dropping their opening round match to the Greater Western Sydney Giants. The Magpies are led by the scoring prowess of veteran Jamie Elliott.
Super League: Wigan Warriors v St Helens
Friday 18th 2:00PM GMT/3:00PM Local
The Brick Community Stadium, Wigan
Two of Super League’s greatest rivals meet as Wigan Warriors host St Helens at the Brick Community Stadium. Wigan notched their biggest win of the season last time out, as they took down the previously undefeated Hull KR. Meanwhile, St Helens hold exactly the same 5-2 record as Wigan and are on a two-game winning streak in the league. The two sides are the highest scoring in the league this season and sit third and fourth in the table. This should be a thrilling Super League match-up.
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans v Delhi Capitals
Saturday 19th 10:00AM GMT/3:30PM Local
Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
There’s a clash at the top of the IPL as the Gujarat Titans host the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Delhi Capitals enter the week with a 4-1 record through five games, riding their deep roster of talent. Marquee auction signing Mitchell Starc is having a strong season with nine wickets, while fellow 2025 signing KL Rahul leads the team’s batting success. Meanwhile, the Titans have been one of the IPL’s highest scoring teams so far this season, led by the unstoppable tandem of Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler. While they have lost two games, they still remain one of the title favourites in 2025.

Formula 1: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
Sunday 20th April 5:00PM GMT/8:00PM Local
Jeddah Street Circuit, Jeddah
Formula One heads to Saudi Arabia for the fifth race of the 2025 season. A thrilling title race is already starting to emerge as Lando Norris enters the week with a slim three-point lead over his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri. However, Piastri is closing in after notching wins in two of the last three races. Both drivers however must be wary of defending champion Max Verstappen, who sits in third place and is just eight points behind Norris. Furthermore, Verstappen enters as the defending race champion and will be eager to climb the standings with another big performance.
