The first live action on ESPN arrives on the evening of Friday 26 April, as the Detroit Tigers battle the Kansas City Royals in Major League Baseball (MLB) (19:10 LIVE on ESPN), while Saturday 27 April sees a switch of focus to football, with Queens Park Rangers facing Leeds United in the EFL Championship (16:00 LIVE on ESPN), before a Major League Soccer (MLS) match pitting Austin FC against LA Galaxy (19:30 LIVE on ESPN).

The midweek of Tuesday 30 April features a catch-up match from the EFL Championship, as Coventry City play host to Ipswich Town (21:00 LIVE on ESPN). Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is keen to lead the team to back-to-back promotions.
"It’s been an incredible couple of seasons that we’ve been a part of,” said McKenna. “There have been so many records broken over the last couple of years and we have been a part of that story.
“It needed a high 90s points total to get promoted last year and that was a record for League One. Now we find ourselves in a similar promotion battle in the Championship and anyone with a knowledge of this league will know that the teams we are competing with are as strong as we have seen in this division, possibly ever."
