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

1) Women’s T20 World Cup

The eighth edition of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup takes place in South Africa from February 10th to 26th. Ten countries qualified for the finals tournament - including Ireland. The action gets underway on Friday with hosts South Africa meeting Sri Lanka in Cape Town. Ireland play for the first time on Monday (February 13th) when they take on England in Paarl. – From Friday, Sky Sports

2) Ireland v France

The two pre-tournament favourites for the 2023 Six Nations championship meet in Dublin at the weekend. Both sides know that victory at the Aviva will go a long way to deciding if France retain the championship crown or Ireland gain the title for the first time since 2018. Nothing is decided after two rounds, of course, but there’s also the added bonus that these two could well meet again in the knockout stages of the World Cup later this year - and so they will want to lay down an early marker. - Saturday, RTE 2 & UTV

3) Super Bowl LVII

The American Football Conference (AFC) champions Kansas City Chiefs will take on the National Football Conference (NFC) champions Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday evening at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kick-off is 4.30pm local time, which is 11.30pm in Ireland. The game will be watched by those who love American football, people who have a passing interest in the sport, and many who couldn’t care less but will stay up late to watch Rihanna perform during half-time (that will be after 1am if you are interested). – Sunday, Sky Sports & UTV
