Sunrisers Leeds and London Spirit meet at Headingley in fixtures that could shape the final standings in The Hundred, with both sides under pressure to climb into the top three as the competition approaches its business end.
Headingley hosts critical double-header
The day at Headingley features two high-stakes matches: the women’s contest in the afternoon followed by the men’s meeting in the evening. Broadcast coverage across the UK is comprehensive, reflecting the competition’s prominence in the domestic summer schedule.
| Match | Coverage starts | Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Women: Sunrisers Leeds v London Spirit | 14:45 | BBC Two England, Sky Sports Cricket (Sky Sports Main Event joins at 15:00) |
| Men: Sunrisers Leeds v London Spirit | 18:00 | BBC Two England, Sky Sports Cricket, Sky Sports Main Event |
The Hundred’s compressed format means every result can have an outsized effect on table positions; with places in the top three available, both Sunrisers and Spirit face a narrowing window to press their claims.
Other sport across the day
Television viewers will find more than cricket to choose from. The National Bank Open in Canada progresses into its second round of the men’s tournament in Montreal and the women’s event in Toronto, with Sky Sports Tennis providing coverage later in the day.
- National Bank Open (Montreal/Toronto) – Sky Sports Tennis coverage begins at 16:00, with Sky Sports Main Event joining from 21:30.
- West Indies v Pakistan, second Test – Day three action from Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, is on TNT Sports 2 from 14:30.
- London Premier Padel P1 – Top-level padel appears on TNT Sports 5 from 10:00, marking a notable first for the UK calendar.
For fans following British sporting history, the day also serves as an anniversary reminder: the long summer of 2012 when Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah delivered astonishing Olympic golds on 'Super Saturday', a moment still referenced in the national memory.
The schedule underlines a packed Tuesday for UK viewers, with domestic cricket at its centre and major international tournaments occupying the evening and late-night slots. As The Hundred’s fixture list tightens, results at Headingley could ripple through the remainder of the competition and shape the knockout picture.
