8 April: Where’s the action?
iGB, in partnership with sports data specialist Abelson Info, is providing an updated list of the sporting events taking place each weekday throughout the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
This will ensure our readers have a regularly updated roster of the sporting events happening that day. The format has been tweaked, with a full table of the day's action at the bottom of the page.
Basketball
Taiwan's Super Basketball League returns today.
Darts
Today's darts schedule expands as organisers move to remote, live-streamed events. Joining the ongoing Icons of Darts Live League is the Professional Darts Corporation's PDC Darts at Home. Featuring 2019 Open winner Nathan Aspinall and former world number one Steve Beaton, it will see four players compete throughout the evening.
Football
Today's football schedule is fairly expansive, with Belarus' main cup competition taking place. The Nicaraguan Premier League (and its reserve league), as well as the Tajikistan League will all play today.
Golf
As usual, the action is centred on Arizona, where the Outlaw Tour's Orange Tree Classic moves into its second round, and The Cactus Tour's Apache Creek event begins its first.
Greyhounds
Events in Australia and the US are taking place today.
Horse Racing
Today we have coverage of Hong Kong racing, from Happy Valley Racecourse. The US schedule narrows to events in Nebraska, Oklahoma and Florida, and as usual the bulk of the action takes place in Australia.
Ice Hockey
Ice hockey remains concentrated in Eastern Europe, specifically Russia and Belarus.
Table Tennis
Today's table tennis events see the Russian Liga Pro and Ukraine's Setka Cup continue.
This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and all events are subject to change. iGB is working on adding an esports component to this round-up.
