The first and second practice sessions take place for the Belgian Grand Prix at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
Day two of The Open gets under way at Royal Birkdale, while St Helens play Catalans Dragons at the BrewDog Stadium in Super League.
Here is a guide to what is happening in the sporting world on Friday and where you can watch in the UK.
Norris set for 10-place penalty
McLaren’s Lando Norris will have a 10-place grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday as a result of exceeding the permitted number of engine parts, with qualifying set to begin at 12pm on Sky Sports F1.
The world champion’s car will be fitted with a fourth new battery of the season, one more than is permitted. McLaren decided to fit the new unit because the one Norris was using does not have the reliability fixes introduced after a series of failures this year.
You can catch the second practice session from 3.35pm also on Sky Sports F1.
The Open continues
Robert MacIntyre said his three-under 67 first round at Royal Birkdale was “exactly” what he wanted.
The 29-year-old Scot picked up four birdies and one bogey during his first ever competitive round on the course.
Day two gets under way from 6.30am on Sky Sports Golf.

There is also cricket with Surrey taking on The Blaze in the Women’s Vitality Blast semi-finals at 10.45am on Sky Sports Cricket, while at 2.15pm Hampshire Hawks play Durham with the final following at 6.30pm.
