Good morning - we've gathered the most important sports news and overnight updates to help you start the day informed. Have a great day ahead.
Indiana Fever stars Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark each scored 34 points in a commanding victory over the Connecticut Sun. Mitchell extended her WNBA-record streak to 23 consecutive games with at least 20 points, shooting 51% from the field and a league-leading 45.5% from three. The Fever have set a new franchise record with 25 wins this season as they push for a top-three playoff seed.
Georgia Amoore erupted for a career-high 25 points - 16 in the fourth quarter - as the Washington Mystics overcame a 10-point deficit to beat the Phoenix Mercury. A devastating 17-2 run turned the game on its head. Kahleah Copper scored 35 for Phoenix and became the fastest player in Mercury history to reach 2,000 career points. Kiki Iriafen added 20 points and 12 rebounds for her 19th double-double of the season.
Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese risks a one-game WNBA ban after picking up her eighth technical foul of the season against Portland. She has the right to appeal, and there is recent precedent in her favour - the league overturned Caitlin Clark's eighth technical foul earlier this month in identical circumstances. Without a successful appeal, Reese would miss Sunday's game against the Minnesota Lynx.
FC Bayern Munich made history on Friday evening by claiming all three major individual honours in German football for the first time. Harry Kane was named Footballer of the Year, Vincent Kompany took Coach of the Year, and Giulia Gwinn defended her Women's Footballer of the Year title. The awards were presented on the Allianz Arena pitch ahead of the Bundesliga curtain-raiser against VfB Stuttgart.
Spanish striker Esther González has signed a one-season deal with Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Women's Premier League, just days after departing NWSL champions Gotham FC. She becomes the first World Cup winner to play in the Saudi competition. The move is widely seen as financially motivated and reportedly caught Gotham off guard.
Manchester United have completed a four-year deal for Swedish international winger Monica Jusu Bah from BK Häcken. The 23-year-old contributed 32 goals and 15 assists in 107 appearances for the Swedish club and holds 11 senior caps for Sweden.
Brighton & Hove Albion have named 29-year-old Spaniard Arturo Ruiz as their new women's head coach, replacing Dario Vidošić. Ruiz previously guided Real Sociedad to a third-place finish in Spain's Liga F and starts immediately with the WSL season just a week away.
1. FC Köln's women ground out a 1-0 Frauen-Bundesliga victory over TSG Hoffenheim on Friday despite being without 11 players. Beke Sterner scored the winner in the 56th minute, and goalkeeper Lisa Schmitz produced a crucial late save to preserve the clean sheet.
Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy and midfielder Mariona Caldentey have made clear that the WSL title is their sole objective this season. The Gunners, who last won the league in 2019, have added seven new signings including England midfielder Georgia Stanway.
Lena Oberdorf and Giulia Gwinn are edging closer to competitive action for Bayern Munich's women after lengthy injury absences. Oberdorf suffered a second ACL tear in October, while Gwinn had shoulder surgery in May. Head coach José Barcala said both must complete two more training sessions before a decision is made.
Aryna Sabalenka arrives at the 2026 US Open with a 17-7 record since April and no finals appearances. She must win the tournament to retain her world No 1 ranking, with Elena Rybakina needing only a semi-final run to take the top spot. On the men's side, Jannik Sinner's withdrawal with a knee injury has blown the draw wide open, while Carlos Alcaraz returns from a wrist problem with uncertain form.
China's Zheng Qinwen fought through a rain-disrupted qualifying match to beat Elena Pridankina 6-4, 3-6, 6-0 and reach the US Open main draw. The No 14 seed won seven of the final eight games after play resumed. Sixteen-year-old Kristina Liutova became the first player born in 2010 to reach a Grand Slam main draw.
The Frauen-Bundesliga is set for sweeping changes from the 2027/28 season when the new league association FBL takes charge of marketing and media rights. Twelve of fourteen clubs support exploring playoffs for European qualification spots, with only Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg opposing. Streamlined relegation play-offs and showcase games in larger stadiums are also under discussion.
