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

Racing

Royal Ascot is, reportedly, the most valuable annual race meeting in Britain – with five days of racing, that includes eight Group One races, on the Berkshire racecourse located just west of London. The £1 million Prince of Wales’s Stakes, on Wednesday, always attracts the best middle-distance performers, while the Gold Cup takes place on Thursday – also known as “Ladies Day”. – UTV/ITV, Tuesday-Saturday

Football

Copa America is a competition involving the nations of South America, as you might suspect, along with a sprinkling of “neighbours” – Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, United States, Canada and Costa Rica. The usual suspects, Argentina and Brazil, will begin as favourites to reach the final, though others such as Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and even tournament hosts United States, are expected to prove formidable opponents. – Premier Sports, June 20th-July 14th

MMA

Jamaican Jason Jackson is scheduled to make his first Bellator welterweight title defence against Russian Ramazan Kuramagomedov in Dublin at the weekend. Top billing on the undercard of the Bellator Champions Series at the 3Arena is the meeting of lightweights, Irishman Paul Hughes and American Bobby King. – Virgin Media, Saturday
