Coming up this weekend
A hectic weekend of live action begins on Friday afternoon with day five at Wimbledon, plus stage seven of this year's Tour de France. At 5pm (all times BST), it's Spain v Germany in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, followed by another mouthwatering clash in Portugal v France.

Saturday's coverage opens in New Zealand, where the All Blacks are hosting England in the first Test from 8.05am. We'll then kick off our latest Euro 2024 news blog at 9.30am before returning to the southern hemisphere for Australia v Wales in the rugby union at 10.45am. Stage eight of the Tour de France will roll out at around 12pm and we'll monitor every kilometre of the day's racing, while the latest action at Wimbledon will be front and centre in our liveblog from midday too. It's back to rugby union at 4pm for the heavyweight showdown between South Africa and Ireland. And then it's the Euros all the way, with England facing Switzerland in the last eight at 5pm, before the Netherlands square off against Turkey at 8pm.

Into Sunday and we start with the latest news in Germany on our Euro 2024 news blog from 8.30am. Then it's into live sport with day seven at Wimbledon from 12pm, plus stage nine of the Tour de France (12pm) and the F1 British Grand Prix from 3pm.
