Upcoming Betting Events
Big fixtures, major tournaments, poker dates and gambling industry events. Dates and schedules are checked before publication.
Past events remain in the archive. Dates and markets can change: check the organiser and bookmaker before acting.
Premier League 2026-27 Season Opener
Emirates Stadium, England
Arsenal host Coventry City to open the 2026-27 Premier League season.
Betting angle: Opening-week prices can lean too heavily on last season's table; check summer squad changes and likely starting XIs before treating the favourites as reliable.
WSOP Circuit Turning Stone
Turning Stone Resort Casino, United States
WSOP Circuit stop in Verona, New York.
Betting angle: Compare tournament structure and starting stacks before choosing events; a faster blind schedule changes how much room players have to recover from early setbacks.
British Champions Day
Ascot Racecourse, United Kingdom
Flat season finale with five Group 1 races including the Champion Stakes.
Betting angle: End-of-season form and championship races.
Caulfield Cup
Caulfield Racecourse, Australia
2400m Group 1 handicap and Melbourne Cup lead-up.
Betting angle: Staying form and Cup path.
Champion Stakes
Ascot Racecourse, United Kingdom
Group 1 over 1m 2f on Champions Day.
Betting angle: Middle-distance form at the end of the season.
Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Ascot Racecourse, United Kingdom
Group 1 mile race on British Champions Day.
Betting angle: Mile championship form.
The Everest
Royal Randwick, Australia
World's richest turf race over 1200m.
Betting angle: Sprint specialists and barrier draw.
Northern Ireland Open 2026
Waterfront Hall, Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland Open ranking event in Belfast.
Betting angle: Shorter early-round matches leave less time to recover from a poor start; check match length before using full-season rankings to judge an upset price.
Champions League League Phase Matchday 3
Various, Europe
Third matchday of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase.
Betting angle: Three games into the league phase, table position can disguise fixture difficulty; weigh away travel, rotation and opponents faced before using early standings.
NBA Opening Night 2026-27
Various, United States
Regular season opens with a tripleheader featuring Celtics, Knicks and Thunder.
Betting angle: Opening-night player props depend on minutes as much as talent; look for confirmed rotations and any restrictions on returning players.
NFL Week 7
Various, United States
Regular-season Week 7 including international games.
Betting angle: By Week 7, injuries and line changes matter more than preseason power rankings; compare the current offensive line and secondary before taking a spread.
Cox Plate
Flemington Racecourse, Australia
Weight-for-age championship over 2040m, held at Flemington in 2026.
Betting angle: WFA form and international challengers.
Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026
Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre, Ta' Qali, Malta
24th Junior Eurovision, a single live final at 21:00 CEST. EBU and PBS Malta confirm 16 countries. Ages 9–14. No semi-finals.
Betting angle: One winner market, not a semi-final ladder. The field is already capped at 16, so prices should move on rehearsals and running order rather than late entries. The EBU page checked does not restate the 2026 jury/online split.
UFC 333: Volkanovski vs Evloev
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
UFC numbered event headlined by Volkanovski vs Evloev.
Betting angle: Before assessing the main-event price, check reach, takedown defence, five-round experience and any late opponent changes; stylistic matchups matter more than headline records.
Breeders' Cup World Championships
Keeneland, USA
Two-day world championships with 14 Grade 1 races.
Betting angle: International form across dirt and turf.
Melbourne Cup Carnival
Flemington Racecourse, Australia
Four-day carnival including Victoria Derby, Melbourne Cup, Oaks and Champions Stakes.
Betting angle: Multiple Group 1s and international stayers.
Melbourne Cup
Flemington Racecourse, Australia
The race that stops a nation: 3200m Group 1 handicap.
Betting angle: International stayers, weights and barrier.
United States midterm elections 2026
Nationwide (United States), United States
General election for all 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives, 35 Senate seats (including specials), and 36 gubernatorial contests, plus state and local offices.
Betting angle: Control of both chambers of Congress and multiple state governorships; close races and potential runoff requirements in Georgia and Mississippi can delay final market settlement.
WTA Finals 2026
Indian Wells Tennis Garden, United States
Season-ending WTA Finals for eight singles players and doubles teams, staged at Indian Wells in 2026.
Betting angle: The round-robin format changes incentives after each group match; check qualification scenarios and games won or lost before using simple win-loss form.
Champion of Champions 2026
Leicester Arena, England
Invitation Champion of Champions in Leicester.
Betting angle: An elite invitational field compresses outright prices; match format and recent scoring form may tell you more than seeding alone.
Nitto ATP Finals 2026
Inalpi Arena, Italy
Season-ending ATP Finals for the top eight singles and doubles players in Turin.
Betting angle: Indoor conditions tend to reward clean serving; compare hold rates on similar courts and group-stage qualification incentives before backing a short favourite.
69th Grammy Awards nominations
United States
Recording Academy nominees livestream on Monday 16 November 2026 from 4:45am, on Grammy.com and the Grammys YouTube channel. First-round voting was 12–22 October 2026. Ceremony is 7 February 2027.
Betting angle: This drop sets the Grammy outright field. First-round voting is a peer ballot across the categories, not a public chart vote. Final-round voting does not open until 10 December 2026, so nomination prices and ceremony prices are different markets. Five new categories debut this year.
60th CMA Awards
Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, United States
Country Music Association’s 60th awards, live on ABC from Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday 18 November. CMA’s April release says next-day Hulu. Doors 5:30pm CT, live show 7:00pm CT. Host Lainey Wilson was announced later for a third year.
Betting angle: CMA professional members vote in three rounds. Entertainer of the Year is the flagship market. The final ballot was scheduled to close at 6:00pm CT on 27 October 2026, so by show night the vote is finished. Later movement is about leaks and the broadcast, not new ballots. Eligibility was 1 July 2025–30 June 2026.
UK Championship 2026
Barbican York, England
UK Championship ranking event at the Barbican in York.
Betting angle: Longer matches can reduce some short-format volatility; assess opponents' break-building consistency and performance in multi-session pressure matches.
Japan Cup
Tokyo Racecourse, Japan
International Group 1 over 2400m on turf.
Betting angle: Japanese and European form; Tokyo track.
Spanish general election 2026
Nationwide (Spain), Spain
Snap general election for the Congress of Deputies and Senate following dissolution of the Cortes by royal decree.
Betting angle: Early election called after parliamentary defeats on housing measures; fragmented party system and coalition formation affect seat projections and government formation markets.
WSOP Paradise 2026
Baha Mar Resort, Bahamas
WSOP bracelet series at Baha Mar in Nassau.
Betting angle: Large-field poker events vary greatly by buy-in and structure; check whether a featured event is a freezeout or permits re-entry before comparing tournament profiles.
84th Golden Globe Awards nominations
United States
Golden Globes nominations at 5:00am PT on Monday 7 December 2026. Film, television and podcast categories. Final ballots go out 18 December 2026 and are due by 5:00pm PT on 2 January 2027. Ceremony is 10 January 2027.
Betting angle: Globe voters are international entertainment journalists, a different body from the Academy, BAFTA or SAG-AFTRA. Nomination morning resets film and TV outright markets. Voting then closes on 2 January, eight days before the show, so the last week is a closed ballot. A CBS about page still saying 8 December is the older April blurb; the May timetable is 7 December.
Shoot Out 2026
Blackpool, England
Snooker Shoot Out in Blackpool.
Betting angle: The shot clock and one-frame format create unusually high variance; conventional head-to-head records may offer less guidance than in normal ranking tournaments.
The Game Awards 2026
Peacock Theater, Los Angeles, United States
Geoff Keighley’s awards show at Peacock Theater on Thursday 10 December 2026. Venue listing: doors 3:30pm, show 4:30pm local. Tickets via AXS from 29 October. Game of the Year is the main award, alongside world premieres.
Betting angle: Game of the Year is the market that is regularly priced. The show has historically mixed a media and industry jury with a smaller public share; the 2026 FAQ split was not on the venue page, so do not assume last year’s percentage. Premieres move game-release markets more than the award itself. Eligibility timing matters for late 2026 releases such as GTA 6 only if the published cutoff includes them.
PDC World Darts Championship 2026/27
Alexandra Palace, England
128-player World Championship in the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace.
Betting angle: Set play changes the effect of a slow start; compare doubles conversion and 180 scoring alongside averages when assessing a close matchup.
Hong Kong International Races
Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong
Four Group 1 races constituting the World Turf Championships.
Betting angle: International turf form on Sha Tin.
Scottish Open 2026
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scottish Open ranking event.
Betting angle: Early best-of-seven encounters can produce shocks; separate recent long-match form from short-format results before judging a favourite's price.
UK Official Christmas Number 1 2026
United Kingdom
Official Charts Company: the Christmas chart week runs from Friday 18 December 2026 and closes at 23:59 GMT on Thursday 24 December. The Christmas Number 1 is due to be published on Friday 25 December, because Christmas Day falls on a Friday. Reveal is on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart with Jack Saunders. Airtime is not confirmed.
Betting angle: Sales plus streams, not a jury. Midweek Official Chart updates during 18–24 December are the information that actually moves the market. The reveal date is structural: the UK singles chart publishes on Friday, and Christmas Day 2026 is a Friday. OCC still says the Radio 1 time is to be confirmed, and uses “expected” for the on-air reveal. Last time Christmas Day was a Friday was 2020.
White Christmas 2026 (UK)
UK Met Office observation network, United Kingdom
Christmas Day 2026 is the settlement date for UK White Christmas markets. The Met Office records whether snow is observed falling at an official station; bookmaker rules may specify an individual city or observation site.
Betting angle: Check the exact location and settlement rules before comparing prices. A UK-wide snow observation is not the same as snow falling at a named airport, and lying snow may not count. Forecasts become more meaningful closer to 25 December.
King George VI Chase
Kempton Park, United Kingdom
Boxing Day Grade 1 three-mile chase.
Betting angle: Gold Cup trial; right-handed speed and jumping.
Arima Kinen
Nakayama Racecourse, Japan
Fan-selected Grand Prix Group 1 over 2500m.
Betting angle: Domestic form and public vote selection.
32nd Critics Choice Awards
Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, United States
Combined film and television awards on Sunday 3 January 2027 at the Barker Hangar. Live on E! and USA Network, 7:00–10:00pm ET / 4:00–7:00pm PT. Nominations 4 December 2026. Voting ends 31 December 2026.
Betting angle: Critics’ vote, closed on New Year’s Eve, so the show is a reveal. Best Picture here is an early precursor, not an Academy ballot. Film and TV winners are decided on the same night, which is why TV series markets move on this date as well as film.
NFL Week 18
Various, United States
Final regular-season weekend of the 2026 NFL season.
Betting angle: Week 18 motivation can outweigh season-long form; check who needs a win for seeding and which teams may rest starters before using any line.
Masters 2027
Alexandra Palace, England
Invitation Masters at Alexandra Palace.
Betting angle: With only invited top players, there are few soft draws; recent match sharpness and head-to-head styles can matter more than ranking gaps.
NFL Wild Card Weekend
Various, United States
Six Wild Card playoff games begin the 2026-27 NFL postseason.
Betting angle: Playoff spreads can move on quarterback health and weather; compare each team's pressure rate and protection against the specific opponent.
Nigeria presidential and National Assembly elections 2027
Nationwide (Nigeria), Nigeria
Presidential and National Assembly elections under the revised timetable issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Betting angle: High-stakes presidential contest with potential for runoff if no candidate reaches the constitutional threshold; market settlement depends on official INEC certification.
Australian Open 2027
Melbourne Park, Australia
First Grand Slam of 2027 on hard courts in Melbourne.
Betting angle: Melbourne heat and best-of-five men's matches make endurance relevant; check fitness, recent hard-court workload and potential draw paths before taking outright odds.
ICE Barcelona 2027
Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Spain
Major international gaming trade exhibition for land-based casinos, online gaming, betting, payments and regulation.
Betting angle: Industry event rather than a betting market: track product launches, licensing discussions and supplier announcements for potential Betfinder news coverage.
2027 EE BAFTA Film Awards nominations
United Kingdom
EE BAFTA Film nominations on Tuesday 19 January 2027. Round Two voting closes at 18:00 GMT on 14 January. Round Three opens 26 January and closes at 18:00 GMT on 16 February. Winners are announced 21 February 2027. UK theatrical eligibility for Best Film runs to 19 February 2027.
Betting angle: First major guild-style film nominations of the European season, two days before Oscar nominations. BAFTA members and juries are not Academy voters. Best Film, Outstanding British Film and the four acting awards are the markets that reprice. Outstanding British Film still mixes member votes and a jury.
99th Academy Awards nominations
United States
Oscar nominations on Thursday 21 January 2027. Nominations voting is 11–15 January, 9:00am–5:00pm PT. Finals voting is 25 February–4 March 2027. Ceremony is 14 March 2027. Academy says all dates are subject to change. Eligibility ends 31 December 2026.
Betting angle: This is the field-setting event for Best Picture and the acting, directing and screenplay markets. Nominations use the Academy branch vote. Best Picture winner voting later uses a preferential ballot, which is why a nominations favourite can still be a weak winner price. Shortlists on 15 December already removed films from the shortlist categories.
WPT Cambodia 2027
NagaWorld, Cambodia
WPT festival in Phnom Penh including the Championship.
Betting angle: Field size, payout structure and re-entry rules affect a tournament's profile; check the official event sheet before relying on broad tour averages.
WSOP Super Circuit LATAM 2027
Hard Rock Hotel Casino, Dominican Republic
WSOP Super Circuit in Punta Cana.
Betting angle: Regional fields and varying tournament structures make comparisons difficult; use published entry counts and blind levels, not the WSOP brand alone.
German Masters 2027
Berlin, Germany
German Masters ranking event.
Betting angle: The draw can expose seeds early to dangerous qualifiers; check the exact round format and recent century-making rates before judging outrights.
Benidorm Fest 2027 final
Benidorm, Spain
Final of Benidorm Fest 2027 on Saturday 30 January. The winner represents Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest in Burgas. Festival window published by RTVE is 23–30 January, with the live galas on 26, 28 and 30 January.
Betting angle: This is the Spain Eurovision-entry market. It is not the Eurovision winner market. Semi results, running order and the still-unpublished 2027 vote split all matter. The Burgas final is not until 15 May, so a Benidorm winner can be repriced for months.
Pegasus World Cup
Gulfstream Park, USA
Rich Grade 1 dirt invitational with supporting turf races.
Betting angle: Winter form and invitation fields.
Dublin Racing Festival
Leopardstown Racecourse, Ireland
Two-day early-season jumps meeting over the bank holiday weekend.
Betting angle: Early Festival trials and Irish form.
German Federal Convention (presidential election) 2027
Berlin (Germany), Germany
18th Federal Convention convened by the President of the Bundestag to elect the Federal President.
Betting angle: Indirect election by 1,260 electors (Bundestag members plus equal number from state parliaments); outcome depends on party strength and coalition arithmetic rather than popular vote.
AFC and NFC Championship Games
Various, United States
Conference title games decide the Super Bowl participants.
Betting angle: Two remaining opponents mean matchup specifics dominate: quarterback pressure, run defence and weather deserve more weight than regular-season win totals.
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2027
Pebble Beach Golf Links, United States
Signature Pro-Am at Pebble Beach.
Betting angle: Coastal weather can differ between morning and afternoon waves; monitor wind forecasts and course rotation details before comparing first-round or outright prices.
Saudi Cup
King Abdulaziz Racecourse, Saudi Arabia
World's richest race weekend featuring the $20m Saudi Cup.
Betting angle: Dirt and turf international form.
Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2027
Various, Europe
Five-round championship opening with Ireland vs England.
Betting angle: Squad availability and rest between fixtures can change handicap lines; check confirmed selections and home-versus-away performances in the current coaching setup.
Nigeria governorship and state assembly elections 2027
Nationwide (Nigeria), Nigeria
Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections held two weeks after the presidential and National Assembly polls.
Betting angle: State-level contests often hinge on local dynamics and can produce different outcomes from the federal race; certification timelines affect market closure.
69th Grammy Awards
Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, United States
2027 Grammys on Sunday 7 February 2027 at Crypto.com Arena, simulcast live on ABC, Disney+ and Hulu. First year of the ABC deal. Eligibility 31 August 2025–28 August 2026. Nominations 16 November 2026. Final-round voting 10 December 2026–7 January 2027.
Betting angle: Peer vote, already closed on 7 January, a month before the show. Album, Record, Song of the Year and Best New Artist are the four markets that matter. Nothing the television show does changes ballots. Five new categories are on this year’s list.
Welsh Open 2027
Llandudno, Wales
Welsh Open ranking event.
Betting angle: Compare scoring consistency on television tables with wider-season form; the early short format can magnify a few missed chances.
Super Bowl LXI
SoFi Stadium, United States
AFC and NFC champions meet in Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium.
Betting angle: Super Bowl props attract attention long before kick-off; check injuries and likely snap shares, then compare prices again after official team reports.
Festival di Sanremo 2027
Teatro Ariston, Sanremo, Italy
77th Festival della Canzone Italiana, live on Rai from the Teatro Ariston, Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 February 2027. Host and artistic director Stefano De Martino. 24 Campioni in one category. Cover night has its own winner and does not change the festival result. Friday 19 February is the Serata Performance. Cast can be announced from 29 November 2026. Entries closed 23 November 2026.
Betting angle: The festival-winner market settles on Saturday 20 February, not on Friday. RAI says the cover night is a separate ranking. The Friday Serata Performance has its own public-plus-international-jury winner; see the separate row before equating that winner with the Sanremo champion or with Italy’s Eurovision act. No artists were named when the rulebook was published.
Genesis Invitational 2027
Riviera Country Club, United States
Signature event at Riviera.
Betting angle: A demanding setup can punish errant approach play; check the confirmed host course and forecast before trusting historical course-form narratives.
NBA All-Star 2027
Phoenix, United States
NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix.
Betting angle: An exhibition's playing time and competitiveness can be unpredictable; treat conventional team totals and player props differently from regular-season games.
2027 EE BAFTA Film Awards
London, United Kingdom
80th EE BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday 21 February 2027 in London. BAFTA has not named the hall in the entry press release. Longlists 7 January, nominations 19 January. Round Three voting closes at 18:00 GMT on 16 February.
Betting angle: Member and jury vote, closed five days before the ceremony. Best Film is not a public vote and is not the Oscar ballot. Outstanding British Film uses a split of members and a jury. The hall was not confirmed on the official page, so do not copy an older Royal Festival Hall or Royal Albert Hall listing.
Daytona 500 2027
Daytona International Speedway, United States
NASCAR Cup Series season opener, the Daytona 500.
Betting angle: Drafting and multi-car incidents create high finishing-position volatility; qualifying speed alone may not explain the race-winner market.
F1 Pre-Season Testing 2027
Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain
Official pre-season testing in Bahrain before the 2027 season.
Betting angle: Testing lap times mix fuel loads and programmes; avoid treating the timing sheet as a reliable pecking order until longer-run pace emerges.
BRIT Awards 2027
Co-op Live, Manchester, United Kingdom
BRIT Awards on Saturday 27 February 2027 at Co-op Live, live on ITV1 and ITVX. Second year in Manchester. Marks 50 years since the first televised BRITs. Chair Stacey Tang. Show time listed by the venue as 20:00. Ticket on-sale details were still pending on the venue page.
Betting angle: UK record-industry vote via the BRITs voting academy, not the Official Chart. Album, Artist, Group and Song markets are the ones usually priced. Nominations were not dated in the June 2026 date announcement, so there is no official nominations row yet. Same night as Melodifestivalen heat 4, which is a different market.
33rd Actor Awards
United States
33rd Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, live on Netflix on Sunday 28 February 2027 at 8:00pm ET / 5:00pm PT. Final votes are due by 12:00 noon PT on 26 February. Netflix’s date story does not name a 2027 venue. The FAQ has a “32nd” typo in one sentence; the date matches the calendar and Netflix.
Betting angle: Final ballot is the full paid-up SAG-AFTRA membership, the largest actors’ vote in the season, and it closes at noon PT two days before the stream. Film and television awards are separate. Lead actor, lead actress and both ensemble awards are the markets that feed Oscar acting prices. The 2026 show was at the Shrine; that hall is not confirmed for 2027 on the organiser pages checked.
El Salvador general elections 2027
Nationwide (El Salvador and abroad), El Salvador
Combined presidential, legislative and municipal elections following constitutional reforms that advanced the presidential poll and extended the term.
Betting angle: Single-round presidential election after abolition of runoff; concurrent contests for Assembly and municipalities; market settlement follows TSE official certification.
Players Championship 2027
Telford, England
Players Championship in Telford.
Betting angle: Entry is based on recent-season performance, so current form is already reflected in the field; check match length and the draw for fresh information.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Thailand 2027
Chang International Circuit, Thailand
Opening round of the 2027 MotoGP season at Buriram.
Betting angle: High temperatures and heavy braking place a premium on tyre management; compare long-run pace once practice data is available.
BNP Paribas Open 2027
Indian Wells Tennis Garden, United States
ATP Masters 1000 at Indian Wells.
Betting angle: The slower hard court can make second-serve and return performance especially relevant; separate these numbers from fast-court results.
The Players Championship 2027
TPC Sawgrass, United States
Flagship PGA Tour event at TPC Sawgrass.
Betting angle: Risk-reward holes can cause late leaderboard swings; approach accuracy and wind direction matter when judging live or top-finish markets.
Bahrain Grand Prix 2027
Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain
Season-opening Formula 1 race in Bahrain, also a sprint weekend.
Betting angle: Tyre degradation and traction out of slower corners may shape race pace; compare long-run practice data rather than one quick qualifying lap.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Qatar 2027
Lusail International Circuit, Qatar
Qatar Grand Prix at Lusail.
Betting angle: Night-time conditions can change grip as temperatures drop; pay attention to tyre choices and race-distance practice pace.
Melodifestivalen 2027 final
Strawberry Arena, Solna, Sweden
SVT final on Saturday 13 March 2027 at Strawberry Arena, Solna, outside Stockholm. Winner represents Sweden at Eurovision 2027 in Burgas. Heats run on the five previous Saturdays from 6 February.
Betting angle: This is the Sweden Eurovision-entry market, not the Eurovision winner market. SVT’s date release does not restate the points system. Finals have recently been 50% public and 50% international jury. Confirm that split in the 2027 rules before using it. The final field does not exist until heat 5 on 6 March.
99th Academy Awards
Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, United States
99th Oscars on Sunday 14 March 2027 at the Dolby Theatre. Live at 7:00pm ET / 4:00pm PT on ABC and Hulu. Nominations 21 January 2027. Finals voting ends 5:00pm PT on 4 March 2027. The 100th Oscars are 5 March 2028, outside this window. Academy: all dates subject to change.
Betting angle: Best Picture uses a preferential ballot of Academy members, and that ballot is already closed on 4 March. Acting, directing and screenplay awards are plurality votes in their branches and the full membership. A closed ballot means campaigning after 4 March cannot change votes. Do not treat BAFTA, Globe, Spirit or Actor Awards winners as ballots in this vote.
Champion Hurdle
Cheltenham Racecourse, United Kingdom
Opening day Grade 1 two-mile hurdle championship.
Betting angle: Hurdling specialists and Festival pace analysis.
Cheltenham Festival
Cheltenham Racecourse, United Kingdom
Four-day National Hunt championships featuring Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase and Gold Cup.
Betting angle: Festival form and Irish/British rivalry; ground conditions key.
Arnold Palmer Invitational 2027
Bay Hill Club, United States
Signature event at Bay Hill.
Betting angle: A demanding setup can amplify errors under pressure; approach play and performance in wind are worth checking against the forecast.
Cheltenham Gold Cup
Cheltenham Racecourse, United Kingdom
Premier three-mile Grade 1 chase of the jumps season.
Betting angle: Staying chase form, stamina and Festival ground.
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2027
Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Saudi Arabia
Second round of the 2027 F1 season at Jeddah.
Betting angle: High-speed sections and close barriers make qualifying position and safety-car exposure important; compare race pace alongside one-lap speed.
Miami Open 2027
Hard Rock Stadium, United States
ATP Masters 1000 in Miami.
Betting angle: Humidity and changing conditions can affect endurance; compare players' hard-court return numbers with their recent workload.
MLB Opening Day 2027
Various, United States
MLB regular season typically opens late March.
Betting angle: Opening-day moneylines hinge on confirmed starting pitchers and lineup health; avoid extrapolating too much from spring-training results.
Dubai World Cup
Meydan Racecourse, United Arab Emirates
Richest dirt race night with supporting Group 1s on the Carnival climax.
Betting angle: Carnival form and international dirt specialists.
Tour Championship 2027
Manchester Central, England
Tour Championship in Manchester.
Betting angle: Long matches give consistent scorers more chances; compare recent break-building and tactical stamina rather than a single upset result.
Australian Grand Prix 2027
Albert Park Circuit, Australia
Australian Grand Prix, a sprint weekend.
Betting angle: Track evolution through the weekend can change qualifying expectations; compare tyre life and long-run pace once representative sessions are complete.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Brazil 2027
Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, Brazil
Brazilian Grand Prix at Goiania.
Betting angle: An unfamiliar or recently returned venue increases uncertainty; wait for practice evidence on grip, tyre wear and overtaking before leaning on historical form.
Grand National Festival
Aintree Racecourse, United Kingdom
Three-day jumps festival ending with the Grand National.
Betting angle: National weights, fences and stamina.
The Masters 2027
Augusta National Golf Club, United States
First major of 2027 at Augusta National.
Betting angle: Augusta course knowledge matters, but recent iron play and scrambling deserve attention; distinguish past champions' records from present form.
Japanese Grand Prix 2027
Suzuka Circuit, Japan
Japanese Grand Prix, a sprint weekend.
Betting angle: Fast directional changes reward aerodynamic balance; sustained pace through long corners may matter more than straight-line speed.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Argentina 2027
Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez, Argentina
Argentine Grand Prix returns at Buenos Aires.
Betting angle: Track grip can build rapidly across the weekend; use the latest long-run laps rather than early-session standings alone.
Grand National
Aintree Racecourse, United Kingdom
Iconic 4m 2½f handicap steeplechase.
Betting angle: Weights, previous National experience and stamina key.
Monte-Carlo Masters 2027
Monte Carlo Country Club, Monaco
ATP Masters 1000 on clay.
Betting angle: The shift to clay can expose players whose early-season results came on hard courts; focus on clay-court movement and return effectiveness.
NBA Regular Season Ends 2026-27
Various, United States
Final day of the 2026-27 NBA regular season.
Betting angle: Final-week motivation varies between playoff contenders and teams resting stars; confirm likely minutes before interpreting spreads or props.
RBC Heritage 2027
Harbour Town Golf Links, United States
Signature event at Harbour Town.
Betting angle: Accuracy and approach placement can outweigh raw driving distance; check the forecast and recent iron-play numbers before comparing outrights.
Chinese Grand Prix 2027
Shanghai International Circuit, China
Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai.
Betting angle: The long opening complex and heavy-braking zones test front tyres; watch degradation over practice runs when judging strategy-heavy markets.
NBA Playoffs 2027
Various, United States
2026-27 NBA postseason begins.
Betting angle: Series prices should reflect defensive adjustments and rotations; revisit assumptions after Game 1 rather than simply following regular-season averages.
World Snooker Championship 2027
Crucible Theatre, England
Centenary World Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield.
Betting angle: Best-of-19 to best-of-35 matches test scoring depth and endurance; recent long-format form is more informative than isolated short-match wins.
French presidential election 2027 – first round
Nationwide (France and overseas), France
First round of the presidential election; a second round is held if no candidate obtains an absolute majority.
Betting angle: Two-round system with 500 sponsorship requirement; fragmented field and threshold for qualification to the runoff drive separate first-round and runoff markets.
Finnish parliamentary election 2027
Nationwide (Finland), Finland
Election of all 200 members of the Eduskunta using open-list proportional representation across 13 electoral districts.
Betting angle: Proportional system with D’Hondt allocation; coalition negotiations after the election frequently determine government formation and affect related markets.
German state elections – Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein 2027
Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein (Germany), Germany
Landtag elections in Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein on the same day.
Betting angle: State results influence Bundesrat composition and can signal national trends; proportional systems often require coalition formation.
MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas 2027
Circuit of the Americas, United States

Betting angle: COTA's mixed corner types and physical layout reward well-balanced bikes; compare sector pace and tyre wear over representative long runs.
Mutua Madrid Open 2027
Caja Magica, Spain
ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid.
Betting angle: Madrid's altitude can make clay play faster than other stops; serve effectiveness here may not transfer directly to Rome or Paris.
North Rhine-Westphalia state election 2027
North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), Germany
Landtag election in Germany’s most populous state.
Betting angle: Largest state election; outcome affects national political balance and Bundesrat majority arithmetic.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Scheduled local elections across much of the UK and the Northern Ireland Assembly election (all 90 seats) on the same day.

Circuito de Jerez, Spain
Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.
Betting angle: Jerez rewards rhythm and corner-exit traction; check sustained pace and tyre drop-off rather than the fastest practice lap.
2027 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises
United Kingdom
BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises on Sunday 9 May 2027. Nominations 22 March. Venue not stated in the official entry release. Craft awards are the previous ceremony, on 25 April.
Betting angle: BAFTA membership and juries, not a phone vote. Best Drama, comedy, limited series and the lead performance categories are the markets. This is two days before Eurovision semi-final 1 and is a different vote. Memorable Moment is the category that may involve a public vote; BAFTA had not dated that shortlist.
Italian Open 2027
Foro Italico, Italy
ATP Masters 1000 in Rome.
Betting angle: As a major clay-court test before Paris, Rome can reveal fitness and movement; weigh recent clay results more heavily than hard-court rankings.
Eurovision Song Contest 2027 semi-final 1
Arena Burgas, Burgas, Bulgaria
71st Eurovision, first semi-final, Tuesday 11 May 2027, 21:00 CEST, Arena Burgas. Host broadcaster BNT after DARA won Vienna 2026 with Bangaranga. EBU, eurovision.com and BNT all give this date. The participant list was not published at this check.
Betting angle: Qualification market only. The trophy is not decided here. Bulgaria qualifies automatically as host. The EBU has not published the 2027 running order, the Big Five list, or the voting split. Do not price a final winner from this semi alone. A BBC line that framed the week as 12–15 May does not match the live-show dates on the EBU pages.
Eurovision Song Contest 2027 semi-final 2
Arena Burgas, Burgas, Bulgaria
Second semi-final, Thursday 13 May 2027, 21:00 CEST, Arena Burgas. Grand Final is Saturday 15 May, not this night. Some fan pages have called 13 May the final. That is wrong on the EBU FAQ.
Betting angle: Second qualification market. Countries already through from Tuesday are not in this show. Final outright prices should be reset after this result, once the Saturday field is known. Televote has historically decided the semis, but the 2027 rules were not on the FAQ page checked.
MotoGP Grand Prix of France 2027
Le Mans, France
French Grand Prix at Le Mans.
Betting angle: Le Mans weather can shift quickly; monitor forecasts and wet-weather pace before relying on dry-session results.
Eurovision Song Contest 2027 grand final
Arena Burgas, Burgas, Bulgaria
Grand Final of the 71st Eurovision Song Contest, Saturday 15 May 2027, 21:00 CEST, Arena Burgas, Burgas. Semi-finals are 11 and 13 May. Host is BNT. The full broadcaster list was still to come when eurovision.com was checked.
Betting angle: The outright winner market. The final field is incomplete until both semis finish. Recent finals have used national juries plus televote; the EBU FAQ checked on 17 October 2026 does not lock the 2027 split, so do not treat 50/50 as published. Host entry Bulgaria is in the final. This is the night after neither the BRITs nor Sanremo; those winners are not automatic contenders unless their broadcasters select them.
62nd Academy of Country Music Awards
MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, United States
ACM Awards on Sunday 16 May 2027 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, streaming on Prime Video, with Amazon Music and Twitch also carrying the show. Sixth year on Prime Video. Host, nominees and start time were not in the 5 October 2026 ticket release. The night after the Eurovision final.
Betting angle: Country-music industry vote, separate from the November CMA Awards and from Eurovision the night before. Entertainer of the Year is the usual outright. No nominee list existed at this check, so any early market is a field bet. Do not copy the 2026 winner into 2027.
Roland Garros 2027
Stade Roland-Garros, France
French Open on clay in Paris, main draw from 23 May.
Betting angle: Five-set clay matches reward resilience and sustained return play; examine recent clay workload, fitness and draw difficulty for outrights.
PGA Championship 2027

MotoGP Grand Prix of Italy 2027
Mugello, Italy
Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.
Betting angle: Mugello's long straight rewards acceleration, but corner speed matters over a full lap; compare sector data and race-distance tyre performance.
Premier League Final Day 2026-27
Various, England
All 10 Premier League fixtures kick off at the same time to close the season.
Betting angle: Simultaneous final-day fixtures can create changing incentives; check live title, European and relegation permutations before treating a price as stable.
Coca-Cola 600 2027
Charlotte Motor Speedway, United States
NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600.
Betting angle: The race's long distance makes pit execution, tyre wear and changing conditions important; early pace may not predict the closing stages.
Bremen state election 2027
Bremen (Germany), Germany
Bürgerschaft election in the city-state of Bremen.
Betting angle: Smaller state contest that still contributes to Bundesrat composition; proportional representation typically requires post-election coalitions.
Memorial Tournament 2027

Betting angle: Classic form, track undulations and draw.

Circuit de Monaco, Monaco

Mexican legislative election 2027
Nationwide (Mexico), Mexico
Federal election for all 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, concurrent with local elections in all 32 states.
Betting angle: Mixed system of majority and proportional seats; concurrent state races can influence federal outcomes and government control of the lower house.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Catalonia 2027
Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain
Catalan Grand Prix at Barcelona.
Betting angle: Barcelona's grip and tyre wear often separate sprint speed from Sunday pace; evaluate longer runs and late-race drop-off.

Betting angle: Ante-post on feature Group 1s; draw and going important.
US Open 2027

Algarve International Circuit, Portugal
Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao.
Betting angle: Changes in elevation and wind can affect balance; use practice sector times and tyre behaviour to assess likely race pace.
Glastonbury Festival 2027
Worthy Farm, Pilton, United Kingdom
Glastonbury returns after the 2026 fallow year. Official site: Wednesday 23 June to Sunday 27 June 2027 at Worthy Farm. Headliners are not named. Tickets were on sale in October 2026 at £408 plus fees.
Betting angle: Markets are Pyramid and Other Stage headliners, not whether the festival happens. The official info page confirms only the dates. Press names are not bookings. Emily Eavis has said three headliners are booked and that Madonna is not one of them; she did not name them on that report. The lineup is expected later, historically early in the festival year.
Travelers Championship 2027
TPC River Highlands, United States
Signature event in Connecticut.
Betting angle: Scoring opportunities can create crowded leaderboards; birdie-making and approach performance matter for top-finish markets.

WSOP Main Event 2027
Horseshoe / Paris Las Vegas, United States
$10,000 Main Event of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
Betting angle: A deep structure rewards long-run tournament skills but fields are enormous; use official entrant numbers and payout details once published, not a fabricated win probability.
British Grand Prix 2027
Silverstone, England

Betting angle: Silverstone's fast corners load the tyres and British weather adds uncertainty; compare high-speed performance and changing forecasts.
Austrian Grand Prix 2027
Red Bull Ring, Austria
Austrian Grand Prix at Spielberg.
Betting angle: A short lap compresses qualifying gaps, so track limits and small execution errors can matter; check race-stint degradation too.
MotoGP Grand Prix of Germany 2027
Sachsenring, Germany
German Grand Prix at Sachsenring.
Betting angle: Sachsenring's long sequence of left-hand corners creates asymmetric tyre stress; compare tyre choice and late-stint pace.
The Open Championship 2027
Old Course at St Andrews, Scotland
Open Championship returns to the Old Course at St Andrews.
Betting angle: Links weather can redraw the leaderboard between tee-time waves; examine wind exposure, trajectory control and scrambling before comparing prices.

Betting angle: Championship form from Derby and Eclipse.
Brickyard 400 2027
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, United States

Betting angle: Goodwood Cup and Sussex Stakes; unique track form.
Hungarian Grand Prix 2027
Hungaroring, Hungary

Nationwide (Kenya), Kenya
General election for President, National Assembly, Senate, governors, women representatives and county assemblies; date gazetted by the IEBC.
Betting angle: Presidential race requires national majority plus 25 % in at least 24 counties; potential for runoff and legal challenges can extend market settlement.

National Television Awards 2027
The O2, London, United Kingdom
National Television Awards on Wednesday 8 September 2027 at The O2. Venue page: doors 6:30pm, tickets on sale. AXS titles the show the 32nd NTA and lists a 6:00pm door time. The 2026 edition was 8 September 2026 and is outside this window. Broadcast time is not on the venue page.
Betting angle: Public vote, which is why this show is priced differently from the BAFTA Television Awards. Categories are programmes and people, and the shortlist usually comes weeks before the night. Vote opens after the shortlist, so pre-shortlist prices are only name recognition. Use The O2 date as confirmed. Do not treat the AXS 6:00pm line as the ITV start time.

Betting angle: European championship form; ground and draw important.
Shanghai Masters 2027

World Championships at the new Belmont Park.
Betting angle: Championship races and surface specialists.

White Christmas 2027 (UK)
