While much of the home nations’ focus this week will be on Euro 2024 qualifying, the finals of the 2023 Uefa Nations League are also being held. It means we’ll have a successor to France as champions of the tournament, which this year saw England and Wales both relegated from League A and Scotland promoted from League B. Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland remain in Groups B and C respectively. Here’s everything you need to know about the finals, who is involved and how to watch across the week, including Sunday’s grand final. Who is playing in the Nations League finals? The four nations involved in the finals are Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Croatia . Netherlands are hosts; the games are being played in De Kuip, Rotterdam, and De Grolsche Veste, Enschede. What are the fixtures and when are they? In the semi-finals, Netherlands play Croatia at 7:45pm BST on Wednesday 14 June. One day later at the same time, Spain play Italy. The losers of each semi will play each other in the third-place play-off at 2pm on Sunday 18 June, with the winners meeting in the final on the same day at 7:45pm. Where can I watch? Both the semi-finals will be screened on Viaplay Sports 1, as well as the third-place play-off. The final will be on Viaplay Sport 1 and Channel 4, and can be streamed via the All 4 app. All Viaplay matches can be watched via the website and app. How does the Nations League impact Euro 2024 qualifying? There is no automatic qualification for Euro 2024 by winning the 2023 Nations League. However, with two places available in each group through qualifying it is unlikely any of the quartet will miss out in any case. In the event they do finish outside the top two in their Euro 2024 qualifying groups, the six best-performing nations in the Nations League will be handed play-off spots for a last shot at reaching the Euros.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo made a tiebreaking tip-in with 18.5 seconds left, Damian Lillard scored 31 points against his former team and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 26-point deficit to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 108-102 on Sunday.

F1 sprint is set for its biggest ever season this year with six sprint races on the calendar for 2023 - doubling the amount from 2022 and 2021. The 100km Saturday dash, first introduced at the British Grand Prix in 2021, has proven popular with teams and fans alike and will be present at more than a quarter of Grand Prix weekends during the 23-race season. FOLLOW LIVE: F1 sprint shootout updates from the Austrian Grand Prix There was an unanimous agreement to increase the number of sprint events amongst F1 teams at a meeting of the F1 commission meeting last year, following discussions with the FIA and a vote amongst the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC). As it was last year, the F1 sprint is a 100km race with no mandatory pit stops and drivers racing flat-out to the chequered flag. As it was in the 2022 season, the top eight drivers score points, with the driver who finishes P1 receiving eight points. How does the sprint race work? The F1 Commission and the FIA have approved new sprint weekend format changes which will see an extra qualifying session added to the schedule. The new order of play sees a new ‘sprint shootout’ take place on Saturday morning instead of a second practice session, with traditional qualifying on Friday now setting the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. It means there will be just one practice session over the course of the weekend, while Saturday is designated ‘sprint day’. The result of the Saturday sprint – a 100km dash, roughly a third of the distance of the grand prix – will not impact the grid for Sunday, as opposed to the past two years. Points will be awarded to the top-eight, as was the case in 2022. But now, that Friday qualifying session will take on added weight as it will set the grid for Sunday’s grand prix, regardless of what happens in Saturday’s sprint race. On Saturday, instead of what was seen as a generally pointless second practice session on Saturday, a new ‘sprint shootout’ will take place to form the starting grid for the sprint race later in the day. It will follow the same Q1-Q2-Q3 format but the session times will be shorter than traditional qualifying: Q1 will be 12 minutes, Q2 will be 10 minutes and Q3 will be eight minutes. NEW SPRINT WEEKEND FORMAT Friday: Free Practice 1; qualifying (for Sunday’s Grand Prix) Saturday: Sprint qualifying; sprint race (Top-eight receive points, finish order will have no impact on Grand Prix grid) Sunday: Grand Prix How many points are on offer? P1 - Eight points P2 - Seven points P3 - Six points P4 - Five points P5 - four points P6 - three points P7 - two points P8 - one point Where will the sprint races take place this season? There will be six sprint races this season, including at three of the final six Grand Prix weekends.
