2024 Key Sporting Events Calendar

Six Nations

The Six Nations occupies an incredibly special place in the sporting calendar, with fans anticipating its return each year. Four months after suffering various forms of heartbreak at the Rugby World Cup, it's time for the northern hemisphere’s biggest and best to gather and compete for the Six Nations.

Reining Champions Ireland kick off their campaign against France in the opening match in Marseille on February 2^nd, but they must do so without their fly-half and captain Johnny Sexton, who retired at the end of the World Cup. But that's not the only big name missing from this year's tournament, England will return without captain Owen Farrell as he prioritises family issues.

With Ireland and France as the current bookies’ favourites, do we expect England to be the underdogs once again and pull through…?

Formula One

24 races for the 2024 season! The new Formula One season will be one of significant changes. A return to China, new sprint race venues and multiple renamed teams.

For the first time in Formula 1 history every driver who finished last year's final round at Abu Dhabi will take the track for the season opener with the same team. From Max Verstappen, who had a record-breaking year, to Logan Sargeant, all 20 drivers have retained their seats from 2023 to 2024.

T20 Cricket World Cup

The World Cup will be bigger and better than ever before as 20 teams are heading to the USA, where this year’s tournament will be hosted for the first time. They will do so alongside the West Indies as they extend the game beyond traditional boarders.

England will aim to avoid the horrors of the recent 50-over tournament in India back in November, and hope to retain their T20 crown.

The groups are the following:

· Group A: India, Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and the USA
· Group B: England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, and Oman
· Group C: New Zealand, West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda, and Papua New Guinea
· Group D: South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Netherlands, and Nepal

This year includes not one, but two cricket T20 World Cups, with the men's tournament kicking off from 1st - 29th June and the women's event being held in Bangladesh in September and October. With this in mind, cricket enthusiasts around the world are gearing up for a thrilling month of intense matches and unforgettable moments.

Wimbledon

The 2024 Championships will have to go some way to match the drama of the 2023 edition. The 2023 edition saw Marketa Vondrousova becoming the first unseeded player to win the women’s singles, and 24 hours later, Carlos Alcaraz secured his second Grand Slam title in an epic final against Djokovic.

It could be an exciting year for the new era of tennis as Alcarez will try to retain his men's singles title, while the tournament could also offer the opportunity to witness American star Coco Gauff lift her first Wimbledon trophy after her amazing show last year.

Meanwhile, for the big four, this could be their last chance. As Nadal enters the New Year, does he see this as his final farewell tour of the Grand Slam venues? And could this be the final appearance of both Andy Murray and Nadal on centre court… Displaying unforgettable moments, Wimbledon 2024 could be an emotional one.
