Sporting Calendar 2024: Dates for Olympic Games, Euro 2024 and Much More

The new year is set to produce some epic sporting moments with the Olympic Games, Euro 2024 and the Tour de France just some of the biggest highlights. The year will not even be two months old when Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide in the first undisputed heavyweight bout for 25 years. Welcome to the new sporting year.

While at the Australian Open in Melbourne. Novak Djokovic is another man with records on his mind as he pursues a remarkable 11th victory on Rod Laver Arena since his maiden triumph in 2008.

Djokovic won three of the four Grands Slams last season, and needs only more victory this season to reach 25 major titles and overtake Margaret Court as the most prodigious winner of all time across the men's and women's competitions, but the returning 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal will have his own ambitions after recovering from a hip injury.

Liverpool and Egypt icon Mohamed Salah begins the year with the opportunity for redemption at the Africa Cup of Nations in the Ivory Coast after agonisingly losing the final on penalties to Senegal two years ago.

The year continues to pack a punch when unbeaten heavyweight duo Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide in the first undisputed world heavyweight fight since Lennox Lewis fought Evander Holyfield twice in 1999.

It should prove to be one of the most dramatic events of the year as we warm up for a sweltering summer of elite sports with the UEFA Champions League final, UEFA European Championship in Germany, Tour de France and the XXXIII Olympic Games in France.
