Today we're open 06:30 - 04:00
Head to Printworks for a whole host of Sporting events this June…
Whether you’re a die hard fan or just here for the comradery, there something for everyone to cheer on this summer! We’ll be showing a huge selection of fixtures across our 4 main sports bars, along with a few other venues, all on the big screens. From tennis tournaments to football finals, there’s first times in history and returning favourites too!
What’s on the Calendar?
We’ve got a handy Sports Calendar to help you plan your ultimate sporting event, with info on dates, times, & venues. Here’s a quick round-up for June and July to get you started…
Tennis 🎾
The French Open started in May and continues through the start of June. This tennis tournament takes place in Roland Garros, Paris with the tournament and venue named after the French aviator. It’s the premier clay court championship in the world and the only Grand Slam tournament currently held on this surface, as opposed to grass. It is the second of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments, occurring after the Australian Open and before Wimbledon and the US Open. The French Open is widely regarded as the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world!
Racing 🏁
The Grand Prix is back and we are showing every qualifier and race! We’ve already seen some amazing races take place over April and May. Coming up in June you can look forward to the Spanish Grand Prix, taking place over 66 laps of the 4.675km Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain. This year’s Canadian Grand Prix takes place over 70 laps of the 4.361km Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal. Heading into July, it’s the Austrian Grand Prix taking place over 71 laps of the 4.318km Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. Then we welcome one of the oldest and most prestigious races in Formula 1 history: the British Grand Prix! Taking place over 52 laps of the 5.891km Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire.
Football ⚽
We’re wrapping up the football with plenty of epic final matches! It’s a Manchester Derby for this year’s FA Cup final, for the first time in football history! Both halves of Manchester will return to Wembley Stadium on 3 June for a 3pm kick-off. With 2 rival teams playing in the final we want to welcome all fans, but we know how thing can get a little heated! So we’ve decided to make it easier for everyone and provide separate United and City fan zones so make sure you check where your team’s zone is when you book.
It’s another big match for Manchester City, hoping to win the final of the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan on June 10th, kicking off at 8pm. Victory for City would make them the 23rd club to win the European Cup. The Cityzens have come close on several occasions in recent years but have never gone the distance, reaching four semi-finals and one final. Three-time winners Inter Milan last lifted the trophy in 2010, when José Mourinho’s team ended a 45-year wait for Europe’s top prize by beating Bayern in Madrid.
Fiorentina and West Ham United meet at the Eden Arena in Prague to contest the second UEFA Europa Conference League final on June 7th at 8pm. Both clubs have European trophies on their list of achievements, each having won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1960’s. Seventh in the 2021/22 Premier League, West Ham therefore ensured a second successive European campaign after going all the way to the semi-finals of last season’s UEFA Europa League. Fiorentina are the highest scorers in the 2022/23 UEFA Europa Conference League, group stage to final, their tally of 36 goals nine more than West Ham’s and also a new competition record, surpassing last season’s high of 28 managed by both finalists, Roma and Feyenoord.
We also see the start to the qualifying matches for the UEFA Euro 2024, with 23 finals berths to be filled via the European Qualifiers which run from March to November 2023, and via play-offs scheduled for March 2024. Three-time winners Germany will stage the UEFA European Championship with the final tournament scheduled to take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024. Catch Malta against England and Wales against Armenia on June 16th.
Boxing 🥊
One of Britain’s best young boxing prospects Adam Azim will face Ukrainian Aram Faniian at London’s historic York Hall to fight for the Super Lightweight Boxing Championship. The talented 21-year-old will make a sizeable step-up in class against the accomplished Ukrainian, who has 22 victories with just one defeat ahead of their super-lightweight showdown taking place on June 10th at 10pm.
Cricket 🏏
It wouldn’t be summer without a spot of cricket! England are to play at home in the five-match Test series against Australia, hoping to regain the Ashes after their defeat down under. The men’s Ashes will be contested between June 16 to July 31, with Edgbaston, Lord’s, Headingley, Old Trafford and The Oval set to host the Tests. England also announced the schedule of the multi-format women’s Ashes series, including the first-ever five-day Test match for the England women’s team on home soil!
Horse Racing 🏇
From 20th – 24th June, you can indulge in world-class horse racing with The Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. Steeping in history, it’s the perfect excuse to get dressed up and cheer on the winning steed. The third day of Royal Ascot, Thursday 22nd June, is known as Ladies Day and is a feast for the eyes with high fashion and millinery masterpieces!
