Even year requires, 2020 will be particularly busy in terms of sporting events. From the Tokyo Olympics to Euro football, including the Tour de France or Roland-Garros, here are some dates that you can already check in your calendar.
Tokyo Olympic Games (July 24 - August 9)
This is undoubtedly the flagship event of 2020. Host city of the Olympic Games for the second time in its history, Tokyo will be the center of attention for two weeks. While some will not miss Teddy Riner's course in judo (July 31) or the men's 100m final in athletics (August 2) for the world, others may discover with curiosity the new disciplines on the program (karate, climbing, skateboarding, surfing, 3 × 3 basketball and freestyle BMX). Note that all events will be broadcast in full on Eurosport.
Football
Before immersing themselves in the highly anticipated Euro 2020, football fans will have something to wait for with club competitions. Like most national championships, Ligue 1 will know its outcome in May, after the final of the Coupe de la Ligue - the last! - and that of the Coupe de France. On the continental scene, it will be interesting to know if Liverpool will manage to keep their title in C1 and to know the identity of Chelsea's successor on the list of C3.
