Having just wrapped up its third month, the 2022 MLS season is well underway.

Also sitting at the top are New York City, who have consistently been one of the best teams in the league so far, with a series of recent clean sheet wins positioning them as ones to watch throughout the rest of the season.

June is a momentous month in the tennis calendar with both the end of the French Open and the beginning of Wimbledon. Two grand slams in a month puts the pressure on players, but it doesn’t stop them putting on a great spectacle of tennis. So far in Roland Garros, fan favourites Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz are continuing their winning streaks, and the usual suspects Nadal, Djokovic and Medvedev are also off to a great start. Despite Wimbledon’s recent announcement to drop ranking points, the charm of the Championships will no doubt bring some great tennis and entertainment for fans.

UFC heads to Singapore for the upcoming UFC 275. The night is headlined by the Light Heavyweight Championship bout between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka and also features a second title fight in the Women’s Flyweight bout, as Valentina Shevchenko takes on Talia Santos in a bid to defend her title for the seventh time. As the event also features the opening round of Road to UFC, where Asia’s top UFC prospects fight it out for the right to sign a UFC contract, there will be no shortage of action for fans to engage with.

Oman have already secured the top spot and their place in the Qualifiers, and Scotland and the United Arab Emirates are sitting in pole position to take the next two available places. They face each other again on June 3rd and both will be looking to secure the win to strengthen their chances of qualification.

Kyle Larson took the trophy at the inaugural event last year and will no doubt be looking to defend his title later on in the month.
