Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Lucknow and Mumbai are the successful host cities, with a combined £465m input from new team owners - five of which currently oversee the IPL's Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore franchises.

In exactly two months the Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2023 gets underway at the stunning, ultra-fast Jeddah Corniche Circuit. As the street track prepares to hold its third Formula 1 event, organisers have confirmed the Red Sea venue will continue to host an F1 race for at least the foreseeable future.

Trent Rockets and Southern Brave will open the 2023 edition of The Hundred on 1 August at Trent Bridge. All fixtures this season will be double-headers, with both the men's and women's competitions starting at the same time.

The women's tournament started later in 2022 because of a clash with the Commonwealth Games. The men's and women's finals for the Hundred's third season will take place on 27 August at Lord's.

Fans will be treated to the exciting return of the BBL Slam Dunk Contest as part of a spectacular line-up of entertainment at the British Basketball Cup Finals in Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, which will also be shown live on Sky Sports on Sunday January 29th.

India's unbeaten run at the Women's U-19 T20 World Cup came to an end with a seven-wicket thrashing by Australia in the Super Six stage at Potchefstroom.

Reigning World Indoor 60m Hurdles champion Grant Holloway (USA) has been confirmed to race in the short sprint hurdles at the Birmingham World Tour Final on Saturday 25 February 2023.

The 2022 indoor season was a huge success for Holloway as he broke Colin Jackson’s long-standing world record when he clocked 7.29s in Madrid. It sliced 0.01s off the Briton’s time from 1994 to re-write the record books. Following his record-breaking exploits, the American went on to win his maiden world indoor title in Belgrade.
