Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

London International Horse Show

Previously known as the Olympia London International Horse Show the prestigious equestrian competition has been held at the ExCeL in East London since 2021. Held over six days, four of which are televised, the show has FEI competitions in driving, dressage and show jumping, as well as showing and mounted games. – Thur-Sun, BBC Red Button

Women’s club football finals

Galway side Kilkerrin-Clonberne are chasing three-in-a-row at the weekend in the All-Ireland club senior football final. In there way is a club who were once giants of the club game – Waterford’s Ballymacarby won 10 All-Ireland club titles between 1987 and 1998. The intermediate decider is also an intriging tie, with Cork’s Glanmire – who won the junior title five years ago – facing Ballinamore Sean O’Heslin’s of Leitrim, who have had a fairytale journey to Croke Park, which included a dramatic last-gasp goal in the All-Ireland semi-final. – Saturday, TG4

UFC

The UFC welterweight title is on the line in Las Vegas on Saturday night (it’ll be Sunday morning irish-time) when Leon Edwards meets Colby Covington. For fans of the sport, this could be one of the fights of the year. Edwards defeated Kamaru Usman to win the belt in 2022, and then successfully defended it in a rematch earlier this year. While Colby Covington has been beaten by Usman in the past (twice), his impressive performances in the octogen, along with an unanimous decision against Jorge Masvidal, has earned him another title shot. There is also a packed undercard that includes popular Liverpool fighter Paddy Pimblett taking on American Tony Ferguson. – Sunday, TNT Sports Box Office
