The 2025-26 Premier League season is set to kick off, with some of the world’s biggest teams vying to win what is generally regarded as the strongest domestic soccer league on the planet.

Liverpool ended up comfortably claiming last season’s title, finishing the campaign with a 10-point edge on Arsenal. The Reds have not rested on their laurels this summer, spending big to add Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké to an offense that scored 14 more goals than any other Premier League team last season.

That said, Mohamed Salah and Co. can expect a tougher campaign this time. Arsenal let themselves down in the season’s final third, throwing away points on several occasions, while Manchester City expects much more once Rodri — their irreplaceable midfielder who missed nearly all of the last season due to a torn ACL — makes his return to full fitness.

Club World Cup champions Chelsea should also be a more consistently formidable force this season, while teams like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur aim for better performances after some recent struggles.

Here are championship odds for the 2025-26 Premier League season:

With new TV partners for the NBA, massive intrigue in the stacked Western conference and a wide-open Eastern conference, the league is cannonballing into the 2025-26 season.

Starting with opening night on NBC on Oct. 21, followed by two nights of games on ESPN and then a Friday night on Amazon Prime, marquee players, fascinating matchups and championship contenders will be featured on the NBA’s national TV schedule, which was released Thursday, Aug. 14.

NBC rejoins coverage of the league after a two-decade absence, and Amazon Prime gets its first shot at NBA games as part of the NBA’s new, 11-year, $76 billion TV deal. ESPN/ABC remains part of the league’s coverage as well.

Here are unique details of the NBA’s 2025-26 schedule:

What to know about the 2025-26 NBA schedule

This season, there are 247 national TV games, up from 172 in 2024-25.

As part of the new TV deal, in general, Monday NBA games are on Peacock; Tuesday on NBC; Wednesday on ESPN; Thursday on Prime Video; Friday on Prime Video and ESPN; Saturday on Prime Video in the afternoon and ABC at night; and Sunday on ABC in the afternoon and NBC at night.

ESPN and ABC also have the five Christmas games plus the NBA Finals.

Prime Video will feature doubleheaders on Fridays and stream the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the NBA Cup and all six play-in games.

NBC and Peacock kick off the season with two games on Oct. 21 and will air the four Martin Luther King Jr. Day games. NBC and Peacock are also home to NBA All-Star Weekend events, including All-Star Saturday night and the All-Star Game on Feb. 15.

The NBA will play games on Election Day, Novermber 4, this season – which it did not do in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Each team has at least two national TV games with the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors appearing on 34 national TV games.

The average number of back-to-back games for each team is 14.4, a tad down from 14.9 back-to-backs per team in 2024-25. No team has more than 16 back-to-backs, and a team will play never play the day before games during opening-week national TV games; all Emirates NBA Cup games; all Christmas games; the four-game Peacock/NBC schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day; the 10-game ABC Saturday schedule and eight-game ABC Sunday schedule; and the 11-game NBC Sunday schedule.

The NBA plans to launch a digital feature that will make it easier for fans to watch and stream games through NBA.com, the NBA app, team platforms and partner sites.

Making a return

Offseason moves once again altered the NBA landscape. Here are a few notable players who will visit their former team for the first time in 2025-26:

Khris Middleton was traded from the Bucks to the Washington Wizards last season but will play at Milwaukee for the first time since that trade on Oct. 22. He was part of the Bucks’ 2021 championship.
The Houston Rockets’ big new addition, Kevin Durant, plays at Phoenix on Nov. 24.
Myles Turner left Indiana and signed with the Bucks in free agency and will return to play the Pacers on Nov. 3.
Boston traded Jrue Holiday, who helped the Celtics win the title in 2024, to Portland, and Holiday and the Blazers play at Boston on Jan. 26. Two days later on Jan. 28, Kristaps Porzingis, who also won a title with the Celtics in 2024, returns to Boston as a member of the Atlanta Hawks.
Michael Porter Jr. won a title with Denver in 2023, but the Nuggets traded him to Brooklyn in the offseason. The Nets travel to Denver for a Jan. 29 game.
Brook Lopez, like Middleton, was a key figure on Milwaukee’s 2021 title squad, and he undoubtedly will receive a warm welcome when the Clippers play at Milwaukee on March 29.

Behind every tattoo is a story – and Damar Hamlin’s is a doozy.

The Buffalo Bills safety is showing off some new ink ahead of the 2025 NFL season, which will be his second since suffering cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati.

His new art, created by famed tattoo artist Ganga, which covers Hamlin’s entire back, works to convey everything about the happenings on the field from that January day.

When Hamlin woke up following the near-fatal incident, he famously asked, ‘Did we win?’

Those words are featured prominently on Hamlin’s back, surrounded by a ‘Monday Night Football’ logo along with words of encouragement and a ‘Pray for Damar’ flag. Ganga also added a Paycor Stadium element to the entire display, which was famously the site of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest.

Coupled with plenty of No. 3’s, the tattoo managed to accomplish just about every element of the incident.

Hamlin’s heart stopped after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on ‘Monday Night Football’ on Jan. 2, 2023. He briefly got up and then fell to the ground, prompting a rush of medical personnel onto the field. After providing CPR, Hamlin was loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.

The game was suspended and postponed.

In the meantime, Hamlin spent time on a ventilator before being able to talk to his family and breathe on his own on Jan. 6.

It was an unforgettable moment in NFL history, one that Hamlin would never forget, especially. Now he has the entire story on his back.

Former University of Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond announced he is signing with the Cleveland Browns.
Bond went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft after sexual assault allegations, for which he maintains his innocence and says charges will not be pursued.
The Browns receiving corps is currently led by Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

We’re nearly to Week 2 of the NFL preseason and teams now have one game of film in addition to what they’re seeing in practice to assess roster strengths and weaknesses.

The Cleveland Browns may have decided to add another player to the wide receiver room.

Former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond announced on X that he is signing with the Browns. The Longhorns standout went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and is a mid-training camp addition for Cleveland.

‘I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Cleveland Browns for believing in me and allowing me the opportunity to continue my career in the NFL,’ Bond wrote in his post. ‘Football has been my passion since I was six years old, and plying at this level is a blessing I will never take for granted.’

Bond was expected to be a Day 2 pick in the NFL Draft even after a subpar performance at the NFL scouting combine. But Bond turned himself in to the Frisco Police Department for an outstanding warrant for sexual assault in April.

Bond stated in his post that the prosecutor has decided not to pursue charges.

‘I will learn from this experience as I grow in wisdom, character, and faith,’ Bond wrote. ‘On the advice of my attorney, I will not discuss the details of this case, but I want to be clear: from the very beginning I have refuted these allegations and maintained my innocence. I stand firm by that today.’

The deal has not been finalized yet, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Bond played in 13 games as a true freshman for Alabama in 2022. He led the team in receptions a year later with 48 for 668 yards and four touchdowns.

Bond transferred from Alabama to Texas for his final year of college football in 2024. As a Longhorn, he struggled to build rapport with starter Quinn Ewers and had just 34 receptions for 540 yards and five touchdowns. Fellow transfer Matthew Golden became the top receiver down the stretch for the Longhorns and ended up as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Green Bay Packers.

Despite the drop in production, Bond was viewed as a probable draft pick given his game speed. The off-field allegations kept him from being selected.

The Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games has announced a strategic move to sell naming rights to various venues.

This innovative decision is not only a first in Olympic history but also a significant revenue-generating opportunity for the summer games, which are now less than three years away.

The LA28 naming rights deal is a significant departure from the International Olympic Committee’s policy of keeping brand names off arenas and stadiums during the Games. This unique approach, which has already seen two agreements finalized and announced, sets a new precedent in Olympic history: Honda has secured naming rights for the arena that will host volleyball in Anaheim, while Comcast has made a deal for the temporary naming of the venue that will host squash.

“From the moment we submitted our bid, LA28 committed to reimagining what’s possible for the Games,” said LA28 Chairperson and President, Casey Wasserman in a press release. “Today’s historic announcement delivers on that promise, creating the first-ever venue naming rights program in Olympic and Paralympic history while advancing LA28’s mission of a fully privately funded and no-new-build Games. These groundbreaking partnerships with Comcast and Honda, along with additional partners to come, will not only generate critical revenue for LA28 but will introduce a new commercial model to benefit the entire Movement. We’re grateful to the IOC for making this transformation possible.”

As the Summer Olympics return to Los Angeles for the third time – having previously hosted the Games in 1932 and 1984 – the city is set to welcome the best athletes and para-athletes from around the globe to compete on the biggest stage in sports.

When are the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics?

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will begin on Friday, July 14, 2028 and conclude on Sunday, July 30, 2028. This will be the first time the Summer Games return to the United States since Atlanta hosted in 1996.

How to watch the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Summer Games will be broadcast on NBC and other NBCUniversal networks and will be available to stream on Peacock.

The NFL will continue its social justice messaging for the sixth consecutive season.
Teams can choose from four end zone messages: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love,’ and the new ‘Inspire Change.’

The NFL’s social justice messaging is here to stay.

For the sixth straight season, all 32 teams will display one of four social justice messages in the end zone at each home game. Teams can pick from ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change,’ which is a new addition that replaces the ‘Vote’ stencil from 2024.

Those messages will appear at one end zone, while ‘It Takes All of Us’ continues to be stenciled at the other.

‘We’re working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them,’ Anna Isaacson, the NFL’s senior vice president of social responsibility, told The Associated Press. ‘For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America’s most popular sport.

‘This is an honor and responsibility that the league takes seriously, which is why we actively invest in off-field programs and on-field initiatives that promote unity.’

All international games will feature ‘End Racism’ and ‘It Takes All of Us’ in the end zones.

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected ‘Choose Love’ as their season-opener message on Sept. 4 against the Dallas Cowboys and will rotate all four messages throughout the season.

Once again, players can choose to feature one of the five messages on their helmets.

According to the AP, the NFL has provided more than $460 million to dozens of grant partners and hundreds of grassroots organizations through its Inspire Change initiative, benefiting communities in need since 2017. The Inspire Change initiative has supported over 650 nonprofits and 2,100 players and alums, providing matching grants focused on mentorship, workforce development and addressing food insecurity.

Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins will not face misdemeanor battery charges.
The Broward County State Attorney’s Office cited lack of video evidence, independent witnesses, and a delayed report as reasons for not pursuing the case.
The NFL is reviewing the matter and Judkins remains unsigned and unable to participate in training camp.

On Thursday, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office announced they have declined to move forward with a misdemeanor battery charge in the case against the Cleveland Browns’ rookie running back.

Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on July 12 where he faced a single charge under Florida statute 784.03, relating to ‘touch or strike/battery/domestic violence.’

Barbara M. Driscoll, Assistant State Attorney Domestic Violence Unit, outlined the reasons the prosecution decided against moving forward with the case:

‘This incident was not captured on any video surveillance.’
‘There are no independent witnesses to the incident.’
‘Although the victim had photos showing injuries sustained, there were also videos in that same time frame where no injuries were observed to the victim.’
‘Additionally, the victim’s injuries depicted in the photos could be explained by either account of the incident.’
‘Finally, there was a delayed report of the incident. The delay is problematic as the victim was alone on numerous occasions without the Defendant, had the ability and resources to make the report without his knowledge, but chose not to do so.’

Driscoll said there is ‘no reasonable likelihood of conviction’ and that ‘the case is being declined.’
