Sports events calendar 2021

Author: Ivan Belentsov

Humanity exhaled joyfully after 2020 ended. It’s been a long time since people had as many hopes for the new year as they did in January 2021. The global coronavirus pandemic and the economic crisis that followed it have completely changed the world. I would like to believe that it is only for a while. The coronavirus crisis also affected sports: championships were postponed, major competitions were cancelled, clubs and stars lost huge amounts of money. The losses did not affect only a select few: Roger Federer, who continues to recover from surgery, only increased his fortune, and did not fall out of the top twenty of the ranking. Bayern Munich lost only about 3% of the profit, having won all the tournaments in which it took part. But the vast majority of athletes reported that 2021 was one of the most difficult years in their careers.

It is important to believe that 2021 will pass without pauses in championships or cancellations of tournaments. There are a huge number of sporting events ahead - both in Russia and in the world. We have prepared a detailed calendar of sporting events that will help you not to miss a single competition or major tournament, the participants of which are hungry for victories and are eager to fight. A unique situation has arisen, since the European and World Football Championships are due to take place in less than 24 months. The main sporting events of 2021 will give you a lot of emotions. Let the overwhelming majority of them be pleasant.

January

Plan of sporting events in January 2021. In January, the Youth World Hockey Championship took place, for which the Russians had hopes. Unfortunately, they did not materialize - Igor Larionov's team was left without a podium. Several important football finals will take place in January. Let's also highlight the World Men's Handball Championship. Russia didn’t make it there, but you can cheer for Belarus.

February

The second month of the year will traditionally delight you with an abundance of winter sports, but don’t forget about tennis. The ATP Cup will take place in the early days, followed shortly by the Australian Open.

Tennis tournament in Australia starts on February 8

March

The third month of the year in the sporting events calendar is represented by spectator sports. Fans will be able to take a breather before the most important tournaments and enjoy the intrigue of short track speed skating or parkour. And don’t forget about the roar of Formula 1 car engines. For the first time since 1985, drivers will return to the track in the Netherlands, and the race in Saudi Arabia will take place at night.

April

The European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships will be held in Bulgaria

In April, the MLB baseball season starts, the Boston Marathon will be held in the USA, the World Snooker Championship will be held in the UK, and the hockey championship for players under 18 will be held in the USA. Canada will host the World Men's Curling Championship and the Women's World Hockey Championship. The NFL Draft starts on April 29. What else interesting awaits us?

May

Can Bayern reach the Champions League final again?

The NBA playoffs are traditionally played in May, and football sums up the season with the final matches in major club tournaments. In addition to ball sports, horse racing and cycling competitions begin.

June

Romelu Lukaku helped Belgium qualify for Euro 2020

The long-awaited European Football Championship, postponed from last year due to Covid-19, is due to take place in the first month of summer. The participants have already qualified for the 2022 World Cup, so they will have to play two forums in two years. The workload ahead is serious! However, this will not be the only major football tournament. We also pay attention to the NHL and NBA drafts. And of course, plenty of tennis.

July

The whole world is waiting for the Olympic Games in Japan

Midsummer could be called lacrosse month, with the Women's World Championship and the Men's European Championship taking place. The MLB Baseball All-Star Game will take place on July 13th. But much more important is the start of the Olympics in Japan, another postponed and long-awaited tournament.

August

There will be a lot of tennis again in August. The US Open is preceded by the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Masters. The Czech Republic will host the summer biathlon championship. Don't forget about the Universiade and Paralympic Games.

September

The NFL (American football) season starts on September 9th. Championships will be held in rock climbing, archery and kayaking and canoeing. The London Marathon will take place on the 3rd of September, the Chicago Marathon on the 10th and the Berlin Marathon on 26th September. Football will return after a short break.

October

Athletics competitions will take place this month, and in addition to them, the Motorsports Games, which will be held October 22–24 in France, will be of interest. The Tokyo Marathon will take place on October 17th.

November

Towards the end of the year there is a lull in sports. The New York City Marathon will take place on November 7th. World championships in karate and trampoline will be held. Tennis tournaments will be held in Italy, Spain and France. And what else?

December

Women's World Handball Championship starts on December 2

The calendar of sporting events for 2021 will end with one major tournament, which will be the Women's World Handball Championship. On December 11, the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival will begin in Finland. But that's not all the fans have to go through. We can only hope that none of the tournaments will be postponed - the main thing is that there should be no reason for this.

US Open finals in women's and men's brackets

The US Open is the last Grand Slam tournament of the current season, and therefore increased attention is focused on it. But there is one more nuance that will especially affect the US Open audience: Novak Djokovic could become the first tennis player to collect a Grand Slam (win all four major tournaments in a year) since 1969. Judging by the bookmaker's quotes, only Daniil Medvedev can stop him.

Who will win US Open 2021?

Novak Djokovic

1.80

Daniil Medvedev

5.00
