Live on Sky Sports this month

We’ve been googling like mad and we can’t find another professional sporting event that has clothing as a prize. And the green jacket on offer isn’t the only thing that makes The Masters special. The lushness of the incredible Augusta course offers a dazzling backdrop to the sporting drama, and of course the club only invites the world’s finest golfers. Watch all four days live on Sky Sports.

Also this month there’s the final run-in of the Premier League season, with much still to be decided as the top clubs strive to secure not just European qualification but also the highest position possible. As well as the final league games, the EFL also has the always exciting play-offs and the EFL Trophy final at Wembley, while in the Super League, there’s the all-action Magic Weekend in Newcastle.

All that plus Formula One, Premier League darts, tennis, netball, rugby union and more – all live on Sky Sports this month. Don’t miss a moment with our comprehensive guide.

Here’s all the action you can enjoy live on Sky Sports this month.

At the time of publication, Liverpool need 11 points to secure the Premier League title: if they do it, you’ll almost certainly be able to see that moment live on Sky Sports, which is showing their matches against West Ham, Leicester, Tottenham and Chelsea this month. We don’t like to make predictions, but we’ve got a feeling that game at Chelsea on 4 May could be the one where they clinch the trophy. You heard it here first, unless we’re wrong in which case please don’t mention it.

There’s plenty of jostling for position elsewhere. Aston Villa and Newcastle, two teams who have tasted Champions League football recently and will fancy their chances of establishing themselves among the Premier League elite, meet at Villa Park on the Saturday of Easter weekend. Newcastle are already in Europe thanks to that EFL Cup win, but both Eddie Howe and Unai Emery will want to be back in the top four come the end of the season.

As we enter the final straight, there are crucial games everywhere you look as each club strives to finish as high up the league as possible. Don’t miss a moment.

Despite Celtic’s shock home defeat to Rangers in mid-March, Brendan Rodgers’ team haven’t been in danger of letting their grip on the Premiership title slip. As the league heads towards its split – after which the top six and bottom six play only among themselves – the Bhoys still have a comfortable lead, which they’ll be looking to extend when they play at home against Kilmarnock, the day before Rangers take on Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Look out for more live games on Sky Sports after the split – particularly those involving Aberdeen, Dundee United and Hibernian, who look set for a spirited battle for third place.

Is there still life in the WSL title race? Chelsea, perhaps with their minds on Europe, have experienced what counts for them as a dodgy period, dropping points against Brighton and West Ham in March. This has coincided with a brilliant run from Arsenal, who since their narrow defeat to Chelsea at the end of January have won six league matches in a row while recording 24 goals, inspired by their Spanish World Cup winner Mariona Caldentey. Man Utd, too, have been in excellent form with a run of seven wins in eight after the winter break. You can see both Arsenal and United in action this month as they attempt to keep up the pressure on the league leaders.

If you want an epic title race, the Championship is the place to look. Leeds, Sheffield United and Burnley are locked together at the top of the table, battling over the two automatic promotion spots. The idea that the third-placed team always does badly in the play-offs isn’t borne out by statistics, but surely whoever finishes there this season will be severely disappointed and in need of a serious lift. The game between Burnley and Sheffield United on Easter Monday could be crucial.

All the Championship fixtures are live on Sky Sports on both Good Friday and Easter Monday. Behind the top three Sunderland have more or less secured their play-off spot, but it’s anyone’s guess who’ll be in the final two play-off places come May – and it’s tight at the bottom, too. That means most of these games will be absolutely massive.

Sky Sports also brings you full League One programmes over Easter, by which time Birmingham are likely to have wrapped up the title – but there will be plenty left to decide. Will the Hollywood boys from Wrexham grab the second promotion slot, or will it be plucky Wycombe, whose excellent campaign has survived the departure of manager Matt Bloomfield?

And while there’s a gap below the top five, at least five teams are in contention for the final play-off spot – including Leyton Orient, who were in the relegation zone in December. Speaking of which, there are several teams in and around the bottom four whose fate won’t be certain until the very end of the season. It’s all, as they say, to play for.

Walsall’s dreadful run of just two wins in 15 matches meant they took 14 points from a possible 45, which frankly is relegation form – but unbelievably, going into April, Mat Sadler’s Saddlers had clung on to League Two’s top spot. However, their defeat to Port Vale at the Bescot meant Vale overtook them at the top, as did Bradford. Walsall need to revive their early-season performances if they’re going to stay in the top three.

With all the Good Friday and Easter Monday fixtures on Sky Sports, you can keep up with Walsall (home to Harrogate and away at Newport) and their rivals too – although arguably the biggest match is Bradford v Notts County, which is live on Sky Sports Football just ahead of the Easter fixtures. Both sides know that a win will put severe pressure on the other contenders. It’s crunch time in the fourth tier and it promises to be thrilling.

Birmingham City could make a great season, in which they look certain to win the League One title, into an even better one with victory in the EFL Trophy at Wembley. Of course, the US-owned Blues should do well at this level considering their superior budget, but plenty of other big clubs have failed to prosper in this competition.

Their opponents are defending champs Peterborough, who thrashed Plymouth 4-0 last April to claim the cup for the second time. They look a less intimidating prospect this season, marooned in the bottom half of League One – but their Wembley experience could be vital. We wouldn’t bet against them.

Birmingham City v Peterborough United
Sunday 13 April, 2.30pm, Sky Sports Football/HD (CH 513/503)

With the title seemingly wrapped up (Bayern aren’t miles ahead of Leverkusen, but the defending champs seem unable to sustain a challenge), attention turns to the Bundesliga’s European qualifying places. Behind the top two, Eintracht Frankfurt are in the driving seat despite losing their leading scorer Omar Marmoush to Man City in mid-season, with Hugo Ekitiké filling in and the evergreen Mario Götze bagging a crucial winner at home to Stuttgart.

Find out if Die Adler (the Eagles) can secure another season in the Champions League when they take on struggling Heidenheim and the RB Leipzig at home and travel to Augsburg – who also have their eye on European qualification, which would be only the second time they’ve achieved it following a Europa League campaign in 2015/16.

The season runs until 17 May when we may, finally, see Bayern’s Harry Kane pick up some silverware to crown his career. Keep up with all the action on Sky Sports.

It could be Rory McIlroy’s time. The Masters is the only major he hasn’t won, and although the Northern Irishman’s last major title was back in 2014, he’s in superb form after winning last month’s Players Championship. In 2022 he achieved his best Masters finish with a final-day 64 that catapulted him up the leaderboard to second, so he can definitely handle Augusta. Will this be the year he completes the set?

Of course, there’s tough competition, including green jacket incumbent Scottie Scheffler, who finished four shots ahead of the field last year (and was also the champion in 2022 when McIlroy recorded his memorable final round). The world number one is picking up tournament wins left, right and centre but defending The Masters is notoriously difficult. No one’s done it since Tiger Woods in 2002. England’s Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton, both top-10 finishers in 2024, will feel they’re in with a chance too.

This month, watch Sky Sports’ comprehensive coverage of the prestigious competition, along with lots more live golf this month including the first women’s major of the year: the Chevron Championship comes live from The Woodlands, Texas, where Nelly Korda defends the title she won in 2024.

McLaren won the F1 constructors’ championship last season – the first time any team other than Red Bull or Mercedes has won for 16 years, and McLaren’s first victory since 1998, when the drivers were Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard. And the Surrey-based team got their title defence off to the best possible start in 2025 with Grand Prix wins in Australia and China, one apiece for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

There’s a long way to go, of course, but we can certainly say this is shaping up to be the most unpredictable F1 season for a long time. With Max Verstappen remaining firmly in contention after a win in Japan, as well as two podium finishes for Mercedes’ George Russell and a very promising start from his rookie team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli, we’ve no idea what’s going to happen next. The season promises to have as many twists and turns as the trickiest racing circuit.

Reigning champion Álex Palou of Spain took an early lead in the 2025 IndyCar Series. His victory at the Thermal Grand Prix (the name is nothing to do with the track temperature – it’s held in Thermal, California) was a particularly cruel blow for his Mexican rival Pato O’Ward, who qualified on pole, recorded the fastest lap and spent the most laps in first place. But with 10 laps to go, Palou eased his Ganassi past O’Ward’s Arrows and powered towards that chequered flag.

See if the champ continues his impressive form this month as Sky Sports shows live races from Long Beach, Birmingham and Indianapolis (not the Indy 500 – that’s the next race, on 25 May).

Don’t forget that with Sky Sports+ you can watch every game of the Super League season, and this month this includes some huge ones. Good Friday is traditionally Derby Day, and that means Wigan v St Helens – the original derby where the term comes from, fact fans – who have won the last seven Super League titles between them. This year, though, it’s the two Hull clubs who surged to the top of the table in the early stages and they meet at the MKM Stadium on the same day, in a repeat of the recent Challenge Cup quarter-final which Hull Kingston Rovers won 32-16, Joe Burgess starring with two tries.

Then two weeks later it’s Magic Weekend, when all 12 teams play at the same venue – returning to St James’ Park in Newcastle after a year at Elland Road – over two days. It’s a brilliant festival of rugby league and fixtures such as St Helens v Leeds and Wigan v Warrington are always passionate affairs. Put in in your calendar now so you don’t get double-booked and find yourself unable to watch six matches in a row. Which would be a nightmare.

The NRL season has been turned on its head in the early stages, with the four-in-a-row champs Penrith languishing in the lower reaches of the table after just one win in their first four games. In round 4 they lost 30-24 to Melbourne Storm, last year’s table-toppers and Grand Final runners-up, but the Storm also suffered a shock defeat when they went down 14-8 to the Dragons.

It was the Bulldogs who pounced to take full advantage with a run of victories that took them to the top of the NRL, including an emphatic 40-24 win over Gold Coast that featured seven different try scorers. The Sydneysiders finished a creditable sixth in 2024 before going straight out of the finals with a narrow loss to the Sea Eagles, but it seems they’ve upped their game considerably for 2025. Can they sustain it? You can see them against the Titans (again) and Raiders this month, live on Sky Sports, with plenty more action to enjoy too.

The Chiefs maintained their place at the top of the league despite a surprise defeat to Fijian Drua, who are bottom, but they were overtaken by the Reds during their bye week as the Queensland team saw off Western Force 28-24. That set up a tantalising clash between the Chiefs and the Reds in Hamilton, in which the Chiefs ran out 27-15 victors.

We’re expecting the battle between these two this season to be a titanic one: the Chiefs are driven by a desire to avenge their Grand Final defeat in 2024, while the Reds will want a legitimate trophy having last won this competition in the Covid-hit 2021 season, playing against only the other Australian teams in front of restricted crowds. Both are in action live on Sky Sports numerous times in the coming month as part of the extensive Super Rugby Pacific coverage.

Early days in the IPL and it’s hard to pick a front-runner as yet, although Gujarat Titans were particularly impressive in their eight-wicket win over Royal Challengers, chasing down the target of 170 within 18 overs. Jos Buttler put his recent England woes behind him with an unbeaten 73 from 39 balls as he led the Titans’ charge to victory, outdoing his international team-mate Liam Livingstone, whose 54 off 40 wasn’t enough for Bengaluru.

Buttler is the highest-scoring English batter in IPL history and will hit 4,000 runs this year if he keeps this form up, although he’s still a few thousand behind all-time leader Virat Kohli. The high-stakes T20 tournament continues in April with full live coverage on Sky Sports. The final is on Sunday 25 May.

There’s no shortage of cricketing superstars in the PSL, which marks its tenth season in 2025. As well as top Pakistan internationals including Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, the competition will feature Aussie star David Warner (who captains Karachi Kings) as well as international talents such as Alex Carey, Rassie van der Dussen, Tim Seifert, Shai Hope and England’s Chris Jordan, Tom Curran and Sam Billings. Islamabad United, led by all-rounder Shadab Khan, are the defending champions and they get this year’s tournament under way on 11 April in Rawalpindi against Lahore Qalandars.

A popular wild-card inclusion in this year’s Premier League was Stephen Bunting, acclaimed as the “People’s Champion” for his everyman likeability, but he soon found out the hard way just how challenging the Premier League can be: zero wins or points in the first eight weeks of the season. That changed in Berlin, when “The Bullet” beat Nathan Aspinall, Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price to win the night. The St Helens-based player will hope this marks a lasting change in his fortunes, and he can expect fervent local support at upcoming nights in Manchester and Liverpool.

Luke Littler, almost inevitably, is top of the league and continues to shake up the darts world everywhere he goes. Nine-dart finishes aren’t as rare as they used to be – Humphries and Rob Cross both achieved them in week 5 in Brighton – but Littler had to go one better in the Cardiff final, hitting the first televised nine-darter to finish on a double 15. Can anyone stop the teenage phenom? We’ll find out in the next couple of months.

London Pulse are off to a flyer in the new-look Super League, beginning the season with seriously convincing wins over Nottingham Forest (73-51), defending champions Loughborough Lightning (77-51) and London Mavericks (78-42). Goal shooter Olivia Tchine did the damage in those opening three games as she racked up 112 goals with 90% shot accuracy. After making her England debut in 2024, she’s clearly ready to dominate the domestic competition, backed up by fellow Roses Funmi Fadoju, Alicia Scholes and captain Zara Everitt.

The Pulse, who entered the league in 2019, have never won the title but it looks like it’ll take a superhuman effort from their rivals to prevent that happening in 2025. They face Birmingham Panthers and Cardiff Dragons live on Sky Sports this month.

The world’s top pros are ready to get their trainers dirty this month with the clay court season in full swing. The men’s tour is in Barcelona and Munich and the women’s visits Stuttgart and Rouen before both converge on Madrid and then Rome, as the build-up to the French Open intensifies.

Iga Świątek won the singles titles at the Madrid Open and Italian Open in 2024, but the former world number one’s form has slipped a bit since then, and there are plenty of strong challengers including the US trio of Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff and Madison Keys.

Two-time Madrid champ Carlos Alcaraz will be gunning to get his men’s singles title back after losing in the quarter-finals last year, while Italy’s world number one Jannik Sinner returns from suspension in time to compete in his home tournament – which he’s never won.

The super featherweight category doesn’t always get a lot of attention but as the holder of all the global belts, undisputed champ Naoya Inoue has a strong case for being the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now. Las Vegas is the venue for his next title defence, which is against the US’s Ramon Cardenas; it’s late on a Sunday night, but the next day is Bank Holiday Monday so if you won’t be working, it’s worth staying up for.

On Easter Sunday, the Sky Sports cameras are at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham for a superb night of British boxing headlined by the hotly anticipated light heavyweight rematch between Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron. Their previous clash ended early when both boxers fell out of the ring and was scored a draw. Former GB Olympian Frazer Clarke will face Ebeneezer Tetteh in a heavyweight bout, while hometown boy Sam Eggington has a super heavyweight showdown with Lee Cutler.
