Football
NFL
We're about a month out from the 2026 NFL Kickoff (which is happening on a Wednesday this year), which means it's time for the preseason to get underway. Football fans are getting antsy waiting for their favorite sport to come back, so the first taste of preseason action is a very welcome sight. The Panthers and the Cardinals get the preseason fun started in Canton, Ohio in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game. Rookie quarterback Carson Beck will start for Arizona, making this a fantastic opportunity to see how the Cardinals could fare in a tough NFC West this coming season.
- Thursday, August 6 at 7 p.m. ET: HOF Game: Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals

BASEBALL
MLB
The trade deadline has come and gone, and we're now in the trenches of August baseball. This is where teams with eyes on the playoffs have to be careful to not get complacent. A streak of bad luck now could squander a great season, just like a sudden turnaround could turn a struggling squad into a real competitor. This Sunday's action leads off with the Reds visiting the Nationals before Sunday Night Baseball heads to San Diego for some interleague play between the Astros and Padres. Of course, you'll get a Game of the Day with both home and away commentary leading up to the break, and MLB Sunday Stretch brings you the most exciting moments from around the league as they happen.

Basketball
WNBA
Things are heating up in The W. The Minnesota Lynx are currently the best team in the league, with a 25–6 record at time of writing. Sunday's opponent, the Dallas Wings, is certainly hoping to add to the L column when they visit. Whoever wins, the chance to see Napheesa Collier and Paige Bueckers on the court isn't one we're going to miss. Come back Monday night to see the Toronto Tempo take on Angel Reese and the fourth-place Atlanta Dream.

CYCLING
Tour de France Femmes
The final climb to Nice is in sight, but there are some tough stages in between now and the grand finale. The Tour de France Femmes takes the peloton up Mont Ventoux for the toughest mountain stage of this year's route on Friday. Saturday is the time to sprint across the relatively flat road from Sisteron to Nice. The entire finale then takes place in the city, taking advantage of its many hill climbs to make sure the winner of this year's race really earns it.
- Thursday, August 6 at 9:45 a.m. ET: Stage 6
- Friday, August 7 at 9:20 a.m. ET: Stage 7
- Saturday, August 8 at 9:30 a.m. ET: Stage 8

Swimming
Pan Pacific Swimming Championships
Just last week, we saw the best swimmers in the United States face off in the national championships. Now, they've got an even harder challenge ahead. The Pan Pacific Swimming Championships features top athletes from Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States. That's some tough competition, even considering that this year's edition is on U.S. home turf in Irvine, California. Only two swimmers per country will advance out of the prelims, making every race crucial. Fortunately for the U.S., this year's squad is set to include Kate Douglass, Gretchen Walsh, Michael Andrew, and more.
