Football, tennis, cricket, motorsport and the biggest sport stories.

The Sport section brings together reporting, analysis and major stories across football, cricket, rugby league, rugby union and US sport, alongside obituaries of notable sporting figures. Football coverage spans the Premier League and EFL, international competition and European club football, with stories ranging from Hull's 2-0 win over Manchester United on their Premier League return and Leicester's defeat by Burton Albion to Arsenal's 51 million pound deal for Ezri Konsa and Joao Pedro's improved Chelsea contract.

Beyond domestic football, the section covers World Cup fallout, including Paredes's 10-game ban after a brawl, and European fixtures such as Shakhtar Donetsk hosting a Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge. Cricket coverage includes England taking control of the first Pakistan Test at Headingley and Harry Brook returning to world number one in Tests. Rugby reporting includes Wigan's club-record 12th straight Super League win and the All Blacks beating the Springboks at Ellis Park. US sport and sporting lives also feature, including Kelsey Mitchell's WNBA scoring record and an obituary for Tottenham double winner Terry Dyson, who died at 91.
