The French Open men's final is already done — Zverev lifted the trophy at Philippe Chatrier this morning — but the sports calendar didn't get the memo about slowing down. Sunday evening is genuinely loaded, with a major golf championship deciding its winner, prime-time baseball on free-to-air TV, the WNBA rolling through its early-season schedule, and IndyCar under the lights in Illinois. Here's the breakdown.
The full schedule at a glance
U.S. Women's Open final round — Riviera Country Club
The most prestigious event of the day is finishing up on the west coast. The 2026 U.S. Women's Open — played at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California — enters its final round with Nelly Korda and In Gee Chun among the names near the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend. Riviera is one of the most storied venues in American golf, a par-71 course whose narrow fairways, kikuyu rough, and sloped greens punish the slightest misalignment.
The U.S. Women's Open is the USGA's flagship women's major and one of the four biggest titles in the women's game alongside the ANA Inspiration, The Evian Championship, and The Women's British Open. Watch live coverage on Peacock and NBC Golf throughout the afternoon as the final pairs come through. NBC's main channel picks up the leaders in the late afternoon.
Giants at Cubs — NBC Sunday Night Baseball (7:00 PM ET)
The headline free-to-air game tonight sends the San Francisco Giants to Wrigley Field to face the Chicago Cubs on NBC at 7:00 PM Eastern. Sunday Night Baseball on NBC has consistently showcased the league's most watchable matchups this season, and the two clubs bring genuinely contrasting styles into this one.
The Giants have built around contact and pitching depth over the last two seasons, while the Cubs have leaned into a power-first lineup anchored by their middle-of-the-order bats. Wrigley Field under the lights on a June evening is an atmosphere that television captures better than almost any other ballpark in the country, especially when the ivy is fully green. The game doubles as part of MLB's season-long effort to bring baseball back to mainstream broadcast TV, and Sunday nights on NBC have been the cleanest execution of that push.
Portland Fire at LA Sparks — WNBA (7:00 PM ET, NBA TV)
The WNBA's early-season schedule continues tonight with the Portland Fire visiting the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. The league is in the heart of its regular season and both franchises are working out their rotation and rhythm ahead of the summer stretch. NBA TV carries the game from 7:00 PM Eastern.
The Sparks play their home games in one of basketball's most famous arenas, and the LA crowd has shown up in stronger numbers in 2026 than in recent seasons. Tip-off is simultaneous with first pitch at Wrigley, so if you're split-screening, the WNBA action will reward it — games run roughly two hours and the pace rarely drags.
Canada vs Ireland — International Friendly (7:30 PM ET, FS2)
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off on June 11, international squads are finishing their final preparation fixtures. Canada host Ireland tonight at Stade Saputo in Montréal in a friendly that gives both coaching staffs a last competitive look at their squads under game conditions. FS2 carries the match from 7:30 PM ET.
Canada are tournament hosts and face an enormous home crowd expectation when the group stage begins. Every minute of competitive prep matters, and a game at Stade Saputo — one of the World Cup venues — lets the squad find their feet on a pitch they will use again in four days. Ireland are using their friendlies to finalise a shape that can compete in a tough group. Both managers will be running through lineup scenarios in real time.
IndyCar at World Wide Technology Raceway (9:00 PM ET, FOX)
The NTT INDYCAR SERIES rolls into Madison, Illinois, for an oval race at World Wide Technology Raceway, a one-mile oval that produces genuinely dramatic pack racing due to its tight geometry. FOX carries the race live from 9:00 PM ET, which makes it a natural second-screen option for anyone watching baseball earlier in the evening.
IndyCar on ovals is a different beast from the road and street circuits — fuel strategy matters more, tire degradation compounds quickly, and the wall is always close enough that the margin for error is essentially zero. Short ovals like World Wide Technology Raceway regularly produce leads that change hands in the pit stops rather than on the track, which keeps the strategy nerds and the casual viewers both entertained to the chequered flag.
What about the rest of the week?
The week ramps up sharply from here. Monday brings NBA Finals Game 3 — Knicks lead the Spurs 2–0 and tip off at 8:30 PM ET on ABC. Tuesday is Stanley Cup Final Game 4, with Vegas having edged back to trail 2–1 after Saturday's double-overtime thriller. And June 11 is when the 2026 World Cup opens in Dallas with Mexico vs South Africa. It is, to use a technical term, a lot.
