The Indian football team under head coach Khalid Jamil is set to begin one of their toughest international windows in recent years as they take on three of the top football-playing nations from South America — Brazil, Panama and Uruguay — in international friendly matches starting Saturday, September 26.

India will first face Panama at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru before travelling to Kolkata for back-to-back fixtures against Brazil and Uruguay on October 3 and 6, respectively.

The three matches will give Jamil’s side a stern test against opponents who all featured at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Brazil, ranked fifth in the FIFA rankings, will be the biggest draw of the window, while Uruguay and Panama are placed 20th and 44th, respectively.

New Zealand Warriors vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview

The Warriors return to Go Media Stadium with the minor premiership still within reach and several important players back in their spine. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returns from suspension, while Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita have recovered from hamstring injuries to resume in the halves. Wayde Egan and Kurt Capewell are rested, creating starting opportunities for Samuel Healey and Eddie Ieremia-Toeava. Manly has retained the same extended squad that beat St George Illawarra, with Onitoni Large again included after making his NRL debut last round. Tom Trbojevic, Jason Saab and Lehi Hopoate ensure the Sea Eagles carry genuine strike, especially if the contest becomes unstructured. Even with two experienced forwards managed, the Warriors’ restored playmaking combination, home advantage and stronger season-long position make them the more reliable side.

Harmanpreet Kaur-led India’s women’s team and Shreyas Iyer-led India’s men’s team will be looking to successfully defend their Asian Games cricket gold medals from Hangzhou when they begin their campaigns at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan.

The Asian Games officially open on September 19, but the women’s cricket competition will begin two days earlier, on September 17. The men’s tournament will get underway on September 24.

During the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, Ruturaj Gaikwad-led India won the men’s cricket gold medal on the basis of their higher international ranking after the gold-medal match against Afghanistan was washed out. Harmanpreet Kaur and company, meanwhile, defeated Sri Lanka by 19 runs in the women’s final to claim the gold medal.

Unlike the last edition, when India sent a second-string men’s squad while fielding a full-strength women’s team, the BCCI has announced full-strength squads for both competitions at Aichi-Nagoya.

The women’s squad has undergone one forced change from the original selection, with Jemimah Rodrigues ruled out due to injury and replaced by Pratika Rawal. India’s men’s squad will also have three reserve players travelling with the team — Rasikh Salam, Kartik Tyagi and Vicky Ostwal — as confirmed by BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.

India’s full cricket contingent for Asian Games 2026

India’s men’s contingent: Shreyas Iyer (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma (vc), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Reserves: Rasikh Salam, Kartik Tyagi, Vicky Ostwal.

India’s cricket schedule for the Asian Games 2026

The women’s cricket tournament will begin on September 17 and conclude on September 22, while the men’s competition will run from September 24 to October 3.

India’s men, along with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, have been given direct entry into the quarter-finals based on their ICC rankings. India will play their quarter-final on September 28.

The women’s competition follows a similar format, with India entering at the quarter-final stage. The defending champions will face hosts Japan on September 18.

The accommodation issue remains a concern

While the Indian squads and competition schedule are now in place, accommodation remains one of the talking points around cricket’s participation at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya.

The Games are not using a single Athletes’ Village, with participants being housed across hotels, temporary accommodation and a cruise ship. Reports of container-style villas and cruise-ship accommodation had raised concerns over the facilities available to athletes, with cricket teams among those affected by the wider accommodation arrangements.

The BCCI has, however, played down any immediate concern. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the accommodation issue was not part of the board’s meeting agenda and that there was currently no pressing matter before the BCCI.

At the same time, Saikia made it clear that the board would not compromise on the requirements of its players and support staff. He said the BCCI would take an appropriate decision if the circumstances changed and would ensure that the Indian contingent received the best possible facilities.

If necessary, the board is prepared to make its own arrangements rather than accept facilities that it feels do not meet the team’s requirements.

The Marshall Thundering Herd visit the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET from West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA.

Penn State opens Matt Campbell’s tenure at home against Marshall at Beaver Stadium. Penn State led the country with 8 sacks in the red zone last season, while Marshall forced 10 fumbles in the second half, the second-most in the nation. Penn State is a 24.5-point favorite, with the total set at 52.5.

Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game.

How to Watch Marshall vs. Penn State

• When: Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET
• Where: West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA
• TV: FS1
• Stream: Watch 3 days free on FOX One

Players to Watch

Del Rio-Wilson walks into Beaver Stadium’s Stripe Out as the most experienced quarterback on the field for Matt Campbell’s Penn State debut. He threw for 2,043 yards and 17 touchdowns last season, numbers that will be tested against a Penn State defense that led the country in sacks and pressures out of the red zone a year ago. Penn State is favored by 24.5 points, so Del Rio-Wilson’s ability to protect the ball early could decide how much noise the sellout crowd gets to make.

Robinson is back after recovering from an injury of his own, and his availability matters for Matt Campbell’s Beaver Stadium debut given how much weight falls on the receiving corps in front of a sold-out Stripe Out crowd. Getting a full complement of targets back on the field gives Penn State’s still-unnamed starting quarterback one less variable to manage in his first outing under center. The Nittany Lions are favored by 24.5 points, a number that assumes the passing game holds up its end early against Marshall.

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan star cricketer Mohammad Yousuf has said the country’s current cricket crisis began after their famous 10-wicket win over India at the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai.Pakistan had never beaten India in a World Cup before that match. Babar Azam scored an unbeaten 68, while Mohammad Rizwan made 79 not out as Pakistan chased down 152 without losing a wicket. The win was celebrated as a historic moment for Pakistan cricket.However, Yousuf believes the victory also changed the mindset of the players and played a role in the team’s decline in the years that followed.

‘That match… damaged us a lot’

Yousuf said the players became too confident after beating India and failed to understand what they needed to do next.“That match which we won against India in 2021, that damaged us a lot. Because after that victory, players started to think that they had achieved something big. They couldn’t understand what they had to do next. When you are performing well, you should stay humble. If you behave with your collar raised, and get disrespectful, problems will arrive. And a lot of them have arrived in Pakistan cricket,” said Yousuf in a conversation on Samaa TV.Yousuf believes the problem was not only about Pakistan’s results. He feels the team’s attitude also changed after the famous win.

Players wanted to become captain

Yousuf also blamed the fight for captaincy for some of Pakistan’s problems.He said players became more interested in becoming the team’s captain instead of taking responsibility for their performances.“Everyone in the team was trying to become the captain of the Pakistan team. The consequences are still hurting Pakistan cricket. Look at all the cricket Pakistan has played in the last four-five years, from ODI World Cups, T20 World Cups to Asia Cups and Champions Trophy. There has been terrible cricket. The PCB has been supporting you throughout. So many coaches have come and gone, so many things have changed just to try and help the Pakistan team. But no player has stood up and taken responsibility. Eventually, PCB had to take a step that it did. I back what PCB did,” added Yousuf.

Pakistan in trouble in England

Yousuf’s comments have come at a difficult time for Pakistan cricket. The team suffered heavy defeats in the first two Tests against England. Pakistan lost the Headingley Test by an innings and 103 runs before suffering a 194-run defeat at Lord’s. The Pakistan Cricket Board then made major changes in the middle of the England tour.Seven players – Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Ali Usman, Khurram Shahzad, Aamir Jamal and Muhammad Awais Jafar – were sent back to Pakistan with one Test still left in the series.The PCB also removed head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant coach Umar Gul. Seven replacements were called up, including five uncapped players.The decision to make major changes in the middle of a Test series attracted a lot of attention. However, Yousuf said he had no problem with the PCB’s decision.When asked whether the board was right to take action with one Test still remaining, he said: “Yes, there is no issue with when PCB have taken action. The Pakistan team is ninth in the World Test Championship standings. They are ninth because there are only nine teams in the table. Pakistan ka naam kharab ho raha hai (Pakistan’s reputation is getting ruined). So when that’s happening, the board has to take some steps to improve.”Yousuf also suggested that something may have happened inside the dressing room that led to the seven players being sent home.

‘It’s not just this one series’

Yousuf said Pakistan’s problems cannot be blamed only on the ongoing England series.He pointed to the team’s poor performances in major tournaments over the last few years.“I don’t see an issue with the PCB reaction. Because the team has been playing terrible cricket. It’s not just this one series against England. We played in the T20 World Cup final in 2022 and played in an Asia Cup final as well, but since those finals, just look at the performances coming out of this Pakistan team,” Yousuf said.Pakistan have struggled across formats in recent years. They were swept 2-0 by Bangladesh earlier this year, their second 0-2 series defeat against the same opposition after the 2024 home series.The team’s poor performances have raised questions over its leadership, selection and overall direction.But for Yousuf, the root of the problem goes back to that famous night in Dubai in 2021, when Pakistan finally beat India by 10 wickets in a World Cup match.

Louisville ($0.29) vs. Ole Miss ($0.71)

Louisville will face Ole Miss at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Sunday evening. The Cardinals finished their third season under head coach Jeff Brohm with a 9-4 (4-4 ACC) record in 2025, which included winning their final regular season game against Kentucky and the Boca Raton Bowl against Toledo.

Louisville will start Lincoln Kienholz at quarterback, making him the fourth transfer player to begin the season under center in four years. Kienholz spent three seasons at Ohio State behind Kyle McCord, Will Howard and Julian Sayin, throwing for 139 yards and one touchdown on 11 of 14 passing in seven appearances last season.

Ole Miss is coming off its best season of the modern era, going 13-2 (7-1 SEC) and making its first College Football Playoff appearance. Pete Golding was named permanent head coach after taking over for a departing Lane Kiffin during the playoffs, which included a Fiesta Bowl loss to Miami in the semifinal.

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw for 3,937 yards, the most among SEC quarterbacks, 22 touchdowns and three interceptions on 294 of 445 passing, while also recording 527 yards and eight touchdowns on 133 rushing attempts.

Ole Miss is trading at $0.71 to win, while Louisville is trading at $0.29 at Kalshi. SportsLine is projecting the Rebels to win, 33-22, on Sunday. Claim the newest Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS, trade $25, and get $25 in trading bonus credits:

Wisconsin ($0.09) vs. Notre Dame ($0.92)

Wisconsin will face Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sunday night. The Badgers finished their third season under head coach Luke Fickell with a 4-8 (2-7 Big Ten) record in 2025. Wisconsin will start former Old Dominion quarterback Colton Joseph in Week 1. Joseph threw for 4,251 yards, 32 touchdowns and 15 interceptions on 306 of 512 passing during his first two collegiate seasons. The Badgers ranked last among Big Ten teams in total offense (253.1 yards per game) and scoring offense (12.8 points per game), as well as seventh in total defense (323.5 yards allowed per game) and scoring defense (21.6 points allowed per game).

Notre Dame finished 2025 with a 10-2 record, withdrawing from consideration for other bowl games after missing the College Football Playoff, after making the National Championship Game the previous season. Quarterback C.J. Carr threw for 2,741 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions on 195 of 293 passing while starting in all 12 games as a redshirt sophomore. Notre Dame will look to replace running backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, with junior Aneyas Williams expected to carry the load. Williams recorded 224 yards and five touchdowns on 24 rushing attempts in 2025.

Notre Dame is trading at $0.92 to win, while Wisconsin is trading at $0.29 at Kalshi. SportsLine is projecting the Fighting Irish to win, 35-13, on Sunday. Trade on college football here with the Polymarket promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $50 bonus after a $10 deposit:

The Clemson Tigers visit the LSU Tigers on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. ET from Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA.

The LSU Tigers’ 5 sacks when leading inside four minutes were the most in the NCAAFB in the 2025 regular season. LSU’s 5 fumbles forced in the red zone were the second-most in the country over that span. The LSU Tigers are 10-point favorites over the Clemson Tigers, with a total of 50.5.

Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game.

How to Watch Clemson vs. LSU

Players to Watch

LSU handed Lane Kiffin a full rebuild this offseason, and Leavitt was the centerpiece of it. He arrived from Arizona State as the No. 1-ranked quarterback in the transfer portal, then watched his 2025 season end early with an ankle injury before he ever got to Baton Rouge. Now he steps into Tiger Stadium under the lights, behind an offensive line anchored by five-star tackle Jordan Seaton, against a Clemson defense replacing its own share of experience. A clean, confident debut would go a long way toward proving Kiffin’s roster overhaul can compete immediately in the SEC.

Clemson turns the page on the Cade Klubnik era in about the toughest spot imaginable: a true road opener at Tiger Stadium. Vizzina spent three seasons waiting behind Klubnik and has exactly one career start to his name, a 317-yard, three-touchdown outing against SMU last season that at least answered some early questions. He’s a bigger, more traditional pocket passer than his predecessor, which changes how Dabo Swinney’s offense will attack LSU’s front. How Vizzina handles the noise and disguised looks of a hostile SEC environment will say a lot about Clemson’s ceiling in 2026.

No tight end in the country produced more touchdowns than Green a year ago, and PFF has rewarded him with a No. 1 ranking at the position entering 2026. The Zachary, Louisiana native caught 33 passes for 433 yards and seven scores as a sophomore, already the program record for touchdown receptions by a tight end, and he’s a matchup problem at 6-foot-7 with legitimate track speed down the seam. Clemson’s front seven is still finding its identity after offseason turnover, and if Green wins early against linebackers in coverage, LSU has an easy answer for a new starting quarterback to lean on.

Clemson needs a security blanket for a first-time starter walking into a hostile SEC building, and that’s the job Moore has already shown he can do. He led the Tigers in receiving a season ago with 837 yards, the clearest proof that Clemson’s passing game doesn’t start and end with names like Bryant Wesco. With Wesco working back from a back injury that cost him half of last season, Moore’s role as Vizzina’s most trusted target only grows, and LSU’s secondary will have to account for him on early downs just to slow this offense down.

Former Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy has joined Burnley until the end of the season.

The 39-year-old, who is Leicester’s record Premier League scorer with 145 goals, departed for Cremonese in 2025.

Vardy left the Italian side in the summer and now joins the winless Clarets who are bottom of the Championship.

“This club has a proper footballing history and passionate fans who deserve a team that represents them and their town,” Vardy told the club website. , external

Fans are ecstatic to see summer arrival Rodri starting for Barcelona in the La Liga game at Valencia on Sunday (September 6). The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner arrived at the Camp Nou from Manchester City in a deal reportedly worth £65 million.

Rodri, 30, made his Barca debut in a 2-0 home win over Athletic Club last month, coming on for the final 27 minutes. He also featured in the 5-2 home victory over Rayo Vallecano, playing 26 minutes.

Having led Spain to their second FIFA World Cup title in North America in the summer, Rodri is now set to make his first start for the Blaugrana, thrilling fans, who shared their reactions:

“We are going to witness Beautiful football 💙❤️🔥🔥,” one tweeted.

“FC RODRI’S FIRST START 😮‍💨🔥 New chapter begins today. Time to show us what that midfield is made of 🔵🔴⚡️,” another commented.

“Finalllyyyy Now we’ll see how greatly we control the tempo of the game with our midfield 🫡,” one posted.

“Rodri gets in!! 😝. The midfield should be commanding with his presence, hopefully he has fully regained match fitness,” another posted.

Hansi Flick’s side are atop the standings after winning their opening three games and will go three points clear at the top if they win at the Mestalla.

“He’s a fantastic player” – Barcelona boss Hansi Flick hails Rodri

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick hailed new signing Rodri after the club announced his arrival from Manchester City last month. The Spaniard had spent the seven previous seasons at the Etihad.

Rodri, 30, is now set for a new stint with the Blaugrana as he looks to help the reigning La Liga champions continue their domestic success and win their first UEFA Champions League title in more than a decade.

“He’s a fantastic player who brings something special to every team, and for me it’s brilliant to have him here,” Flick said (as per GOAL).

“I think he might be the best number 6. He can control the game, but he also helps out in defence. He can win aerial duels, which is very important for us, and of course he raises the standard of every player.”

Following their La Liga game at Valencia on Sunday, Barcelona open their UEFA Champions League campaign at home to Feyenoord three days later.
