There are big questions to be answered across sport and racing this weekend, and Sport Nation has you covered!
Can the Blackcaps avoid a T20 series sweep against India? Will the Kiwis put things right against Fiji at the Rugby League World Cup? And could the Premier League have a new leader come Monday?
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their shock loss to Fleetwood Town when they face Liverpool, while Manchester City host a dangerous Brighton side.
Australia continue their hunt for glory in the third Test against South Africa, while the Blackcaps chase a win in their final two T20s against India, starting with a sold-out clash at Eden Park this Friday.
Rugby League World Cup 2026 keeps delivering, with Tonga and Samoa set for a showdown some have called bigger than State of Origin. The Kiwis, meanwhile, face a must-win clash with Fiji as they look to rewrite the heartbreak of 2017.

How to sync live commentary on the Sport Nation app with your TV
- Head to sportnation.nz or open the Sport Nation app, select the match in the available streams and turn the volume up. Note: Most live sport will be on the main stream, but some events will be exclusively on Sport Nation Extra if there's a scheduling clash.
- Tune into the same match on your TV (MySky) or video streaming app (SkyGo or Sky Sport Now) and turn up the volume.
- For cricket, pause your TV or stream when you see/hear the bowler's front foot land during their delivery stride. For rugby league or football, pause your TV or stream when you hear the referee blow the whistle for the opening kick-off.
- Listen to the Sport Nation stream, immediately unpause your TV or video stream when you hear the same sound (the scuff of the bowler's foot landing or referee's whistle) on the Sport Nation stream. Video and audio should now be in sync with each other, or at least very close to it.
- If you're using a soundbar with your TV, the Sport Nation stream can be sent to it via Bluetooth.
