2025/26 season — fixtures, transfers and must-watch moments

This tag collects the biggest stories from the 2025/26 season across football, cricket and other sports. Expect match reports, transfer news, key dates and quick updates you can scan fast. If you want the season’s headlines in one place, this page is the shortcut.

Recent highlights include Palmeiras’ 4-0 win over Universitario in the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 first leg and Tottenham vs Manchester United meeting in the Europa League Final at San Mamés on May 21. Big transfers land here too — Chelsea signing Joao Pedro from Brighton for a deal that could hit £60 million is a fine example. You’ll also find club-level cup ties, continental competitions and high-profile friendlies covered as they happen.

Cricket fans can track series and tournament openers. We covered West Indies vs Pakistan (1st T20I in Florida, Aug 1, 2025) and South Africa’s ICC Champions Trophy opener against Afghanistan in Karachi. For continental club cups, follow CONCACAF and Copa Libertadores match threads like Colorado Rapids edging LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup first leg.

Want results and quick context? Each post gives the score, the key moments and what’s likely next — suspensions, injuries, or travel issues that affect return legs. For example, Universitario lost Riveros to an early red card and will miss the São Paulo return tie. Small details like that matter for the second leg and knockouts.

What to watch this season

Keep an eye on transfer windows and big finals — those move the needle most. Watch knockout ties where early red cards or injuries change the odds for return legs. Track qualifiers and international form too; player form for national teams often spills into club seasons, like Messi leading the 2026 South American qualifiers or Mbappé returning to Real Madrid training before a key Club World Cup clash.

If you want a focused feed, follow the sub-tags for "transfers", "fixtures", or individual competitions. That trims noise and keeps you on the storylines that matter: who’s fit, who’s suspended, where the finals are played, and which players are hitting form.
