Live sport on TV this week

Live sport on TV this week

  

The Tour de France reaches its gripping conclusion and the Open Championship tees off at Royal Troon – plus rugby, darts, Test cricket and much more on Virgin TV

By Chris Miller, Feature Writer

Spain is having a successful sporting summer and no mistake. With the men’s football team winning the Euros and Carlos Alcaraz winning the men’s Wimbledon singles title, they’re on top of the world. But despite a great Tour de France tradition with the likes of Miguel Indurain and Carlos Sastre, the country looks unlikely to add a Tour triumph to that list this summer. A pair of two-time winners, Tadej Pogočar of Slovenia and Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard, are battling for the yellow jersey and you can see the final few thrilling stages on ITV4 and S4C.

 

Elsewhere this week (Monday 15 to Monday 22 July), the world’s most skilled tungsten wranglers are in action at the World Matchplay Darts in Blackpool, while England’s men enter their post-James Anderson era in the second Test against West Indies. There’s plenty of motor racing action in F1, Formula E and the World Rally Championship, with Super League rugby and international rugby union too. And from Thursday it’s all eyes on Royal Troon for the world’s most prestigious golf tournament, as the top players tee off for the 152nd Open Championship.

 

With all this and more, it’s another superb week of live sport on Virgin TV.

 

You can watch the action wherever you are in the UK, as long as there’s WiFi, 3G or 4G, at no extra cost thanks to the Virgin TV Go app, which is available to all Virgin TV customers to register on up to five devices (and view on two devices simultaneously). It’s available for iPhone, iPad, Android mobile or tablets, and Windows and Mac laptops and desktops. Find out more about the Virgin TV Go app here. If you’re streaming the games at home, follow our tips to get the best WiFi connection in every room. Simply download the free app, which is available to all Virgin TV customers, and start watching.
