8am-3pm (all times BST)Matchday live
Before the game is enveloped by the World Cup vortex, club football has its last hurrah of the season as all eyes turn to Budapest. David Tindall and Luke McLaughlin are aboard the good ship Matchday live to bring all the buildup and breaking news before the Champions League final between the holders, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Premier League winners, Arsenal, in our bumper extended blog. Scotland are also in action, building up to the finals in North America by taking on the smallest nation to qualify, Curaçao, at Hampden Park.
Tennis
10.30amFrench Open live
Jannik Sinner’s meltdown in the Paris heat has blown the men’s draw wide open at Roland Garros. The Italian had dominated the past three months, winning five straight Masters 1000 titles – three of them on clay. And with his biggest rival, Carlos Alcaraz, missing with a wrist injury, there is an opportunity for Novak Djokovic to win a 25th slam. Katy Murrells follows the Saturday action live, with Tumaini Carayol reporting from Roland Garros.
International football
1pmScotland v Curaçao live
There’s a familiar face at the helm of Scotland’s World Cup warm-up opponents at Hampden Park: welcome back, Dick Advocaat, the blue side of Glasgow has missed you. The veteran manager became Rangers’ first foreign head coach in 1998 and his spell at Ibrox until 2001 saw the club claim a sixth domestic treble and cause a stir in Europe. At 78, the Dutchman returns as head coach of Curaçao and will be taking them to the World Cup. The hosts, meanwhile, will be hoping to bounce back from 1-0 defeats in friendlies against Japan and Côte d’Ivoire during March’s international break. Scott Murray helms the blog, with Ewan Murray reporting.
Women’s T20 cricket
1.30pmEngland v India live
England were outplayed by India as they fell to a 38-run defeat in the first of their pre-T20 World Cup meetings. England, who still await the return of Danni Wyatt-Hodge from maternity leave and Nat Sciver-Brunt from injury, were set a target of 189 to win but managed just 150 for eight in Chelmsford. The three-match series continues with the second T20 game at Bristol and the hosts’ stand-in captain, Charlie Dean, will be expecting improvements from the openers Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley. Tanya Aldred has over-by-over commentary while Raf Nicholson reports.
Champions League final
5pmParis Saint-Germain v Arsenal live
If any team have the tools to stop PSG from becoming just the second team to retain the title in the Champions League era, it’s surely Arsenal. Winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004 has removed a burden from players carrying heavy expectations after so many near misses in recent seasons. Mikel Arteta’s side have the Champions League’s meanest defence this season but Luis Enrique’s team topped the scoring chart in this season’s competition with 44 goals – an average of more than three per game – and blew away Inter 5-0 in last year’s final. Rob Smyth buckles up to bring you all the buildup and action from the Puskas Arena in Budapest, with David Hytner, Barney Ronay and Ed Aarons our reporting team at the final.

Daniel Harris picks up the baton for day eight of all the action at Roland Garros at the helm of our live blog. The women’s draw is packed with star names and dark horses, with the defending women’s champion, Coco Gauff, plus the heavyweights Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek the favourites as things stand.
Football
1pmArsenal parade live
Less than 24 hours after Mikel Arteta’s side face PSG in Budapest, they’ll be parading at least one trophy from the top deck of an open-top bus along the thronging streets of Islington. Regardless of the result of Saturday’s Champions League final, the Gunners will at the very least be displaying the Premier League trophy after ending a 22-year wait for the title. The women’s side will be joining the party too, parading the Women’s Champions Cup they won in February, beating Brazil’s Corinthians in the final. The parade will take in Highbury, Canonbury and Upper Street before returning to the area around the Emirates Stadium, with John Brewin keeping pace with all the celebrations in north London.
Women’s FA Cup final
4pmManchester City v Brighton live
A historic day for Brighton as they play in the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time. Having seen off Arsenal and Liverpool en route to Wembley, there is a sense of growing confidence among Dario Vidosic’s underdogs as they face City, the WSL champions. Brighton have lost just once in seven games and beat Andrée Jeglertz’s side 3-2 in April, a victory that will give them heart against a side seeking a fourth Cup triumph to complete the Double. Rob Smyth hosts the blog with Tom Garry reporting from Wembley.
